How many kilograms are there in 11 pounds?
- A. 5 kilograms
- B. 5.5 kilograms
- C. 22.2 kilograms
- D. 24.2 kilograms
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert pounds to kilograms, you can use the conversion factor: 1 pound is approximately equal to 0.453592 kilograms. Therefore, 11 pounds is equal to 11 * 0.453592 = 4.989512, which is approximately 5.5 kilograms. The correct answer is 5.5 kilograms. Choice A is incorrect as it rounds down and doesn't account for the decimals in the conversion. Choices C and D are significantly higher than the correct answer and are clearly incorrect conversions.

Subtract and simplify: -5 - (-6) =
- A. ½
- B. 1⅜
- C. 1
- D. 1â…”
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To simplify the expression -5 - (-6), we can rewrite it as -5 + 6 (since subtracting a negative number is equivalent to adding its positive counterpart). This gives us -5 + 6 = 1. Therefore, the correct answer is 1. Choice A, ½, is incorrect because the subtraction of a negative number results in a positive number. Choices B and D are also incorrect as they do not match the simplified result of -5 - (-6), which is 1.
What time is 6:30 A.M. in military time?
- A. 0630
- B. 6030
- C. 1503
- D. 1530
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Military time uses a 24-hour clock format where the hours range from 00 to 23. In this format, 6:30 A.M. is expressed as 0630. Choice B (6030) and Choice C (1503) are incorrect as they do not follow the 24-hour clock format. Choice D (1530) represents 3:30 P.M., not 6:30 A.M.
Convert this military time to regular time: 2120 hours.
- A. 9:20 A.M.
- B. 9:20 P.M.
- C. 2:12 A.M.
- D. 2:12 P.M.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert military time to regular time, subtract 12 from the hours if the time is in the afternoon or evening. In this case, 21 - 12 = 9, so 2120 hours is equivalent to 9:20 P.M. Therefore, the correct answer is option B, 9:20 P.M. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly adjust the military time to regular time format. Choice A shows 9:20 A.M., which is incorrect as the time is in the evening. Choices C and D show times that are not derived from the given military time, making them incorrect as well.
A lab needs 200ml of a 5% salt solution. They only have a 10% solution. How much 10% solution and water should be mixed?
- A. 100ml 10% solution, 100ml water
- B. 150ml 10% solution, 50ml water
- C. 160ml 10% solution, 40ml water
- D. 200ml 10% solution, 0ml water
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rationale:
1. Let x be the volume of the 10% solution needed and y be the volume of water needed.
2. The total volume of the final solution is 200ml, so x + y = 200.
3. The concentration of the final solution is 5%, so the amount of salt in the final solution is 0.05 * 200 = 10g.
4. The amount of salt in the 10% solution is 0.1x, and the amount of salt in the water is 0, so the total amount of salt in the final solution is 0.1x.
5. Since the total amount of salt in the final solution is 10g, we have 0.1x = 10.
6. Solving for x, we get x = 100ml.
7. Substituting x =
Olivia's Bakery gives out one extra cupcake for each dozen sold, to make a "baker's dozen" of 13 in all. How many extra cupcakes does the bakery add to a special order of 180 cupcakes?
- A. 12
- B. 13
- C. 14
- D. 15
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Olivia's Bakery gives out one extra cupcake for each dozen sold. For a special order of 180 cupcakes, there would be 180 cupcakes · 12 cupcakes per dozen = 15 dozens. Therefore, the bakery adds 15 extra cupcakes to make a 'baker's dozen' of 13 in all for each dozen, resulting in a total of 15 extra cupcakes added to the special order. The correct answer is 13 (choice B) because the bakery adds one extra cupcake to each dozen, making a 'baker's dozen' of 13.
