1. What is the probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die?

• A. 50%
• B. 66.70%
• C. 33.30%
• D. 25%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A six-sided die has three odd numbers (1, 3, 5) out of six possible outcomes. To calculate the probability, divide the number of favorable outcomes (odd numbers) by the total number of outcomes: 3/6 = 0.5 or 50%. Therefore, the probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die is 50%. Choice A is correct. Choice B (66.70%) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die. Choice C (33.30%) is incorrect as it represents the probability of rolling an even number. Choice D (25%) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die.

2. How many meters are in 3 kilometers?

• A. 3000 meters
• B. 2000 meters
• C. 3500 meters
• D. 2500 meters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 3000 meters. To convert kilometers to meters, you need to know that there are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer. Therefore, to find the number of meters in 3 kilometers, you multiply 3 by 1000, resulting in 3000 meters. Choice B, 2000 meters, is incorrect as it doesn't account for the correct conversion factor. Choice C, 3500 meters, and Choice D, 2500 meters, are also incorrect as they provide inaccurate conversions.

3. How many millimeters are in 4 meters?

• A. 400 mm
• B. 4000 mm
• C. 40 mm
• D. 100 mm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert meters to millimeters, you need to know that there are 1000 millimeters in 1 meter. Therefore, to find out how many millimeters are in 4 meters, you multiply 4 (meters) by 1000 (millimeters per meter), which equals 4000 millimeters. Choice A, 400 mm, is incorrect because it represents 4 decimeters, not 4 meters. Choice C, 40 mm, is incorrect because it represents 4 centimeters, not 4 meters. Choice D, 100 mm, is incorrect because it represents 1 meter, not 4 meters.

4. If a train travels at 80 kilometers per hour, how many kilometers will it travel in 3 hours?

• A. 240 kilometers
• B. 160 kilometers
• C. 240 kilometers
• D. 210 kilometers

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total distance traveled, you need to multiply the speed of the train by the time it travels. So, 80 km/h * 3 hours = 240 kilometers. Therefore, the correct answer is 240 kilometers. Choice B (160 kilometers) is incorrect because it is the result of multiplying the speed by 2 hours instead of 3. Choice C (240 kilometers) is the same as the correct answer, making it redundant. Choice D (210 kilometers) is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying the speed by 2.5 hours instead of 3.

5. Convert 2/5 to a decimal.

• A. 0.5
• B. 0.25
• C. 0.4
• D. 0.5

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert 2/5 to a decimal, you divide the numerator (2) by the denominator (5): 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4. Therefore, the correct decimal representation of 2/5 is 0.4. Choice A (0.5) is incorrect because it represents 1/2, not 2/5. Choice B (0.25) is incorrect as it represents 1/4, not 2/5. Choice D (0.5) is incorrect as it also represents 1/2, not 2/5.
