How many liters are in 5000 milliliters?
- A. 5 liters
- B. 4 liters
- C. 6 liters
- D. 5.5 liters
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, you divide by 1000 since 1000 milliliters make up 1 liter. In this case, 5000 milliliters divided by 1000 milliliters per liter equals 5 liters (5000 mL · 1000 mL/L = 5 L). Therefore, the correct answer is A: 5 liters. Choice B, 4 liters, is incorrect because 5000 milliliters is equivalent to 5 liters, not 4. Choice C, 6 liters, is incorrect as it is not the accurate conversion from milliliters to liters in this case. Choice D, 5.5 liters, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct conversion of 5000 milliliters to liters, which is 5 liters.

After the young mother goes shopping and spends $101.85 on groceries, $21.90 at the dry cleaners, and $42.66 at the pet store, she has $200.00 in cash. How much money would she have left after her day of shopping?
- A. $33.59
- B. $29.59
- C. $25.59
- D. $21.59
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A, $33.59. To find out how much money she would have left, we need to calculate the total spending by adding the amounts spent at the groceries, dry cleaners, and pet store: $101.85 + $21.90 + $42.66 = $166.41. Subtract the total spending from the initial cash amount to determine the remaining cash: $200.00 - $166.41 = $33.59. Choice B, $29.59, is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the correct calculation. Choices C and D, $25.59 and $21.59 respectively, are also incorrect as they do not consider the correct total spending amount and subtraction from the initial cash.
What is the result of multiplying 226 by 55.3?
- A. 12,500
- B. 12,541.8
- C. 12,600
- D. 12,450
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 12,541.8. To find this result, you multiply 226 by 55.3, which equals 12,541.8. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate multiplication of 226 by 55.3.
Convert 5 3/4 to a decimal. Round to the nearest tenth.
- A. 5.75
- B. 5.7
- C. 5.8
- D. 6
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert 5 3/4 to a decimal, divide the numerator (3) by the denominator (4) to get 0.75. Adding this to the whole number 5 results in 5.75. When rounding to the nearest tenth, 5.75 rounds to 5.8. Therefore, the correct answer is 5.8. Choice A, 5.75, is the result before rounding to the nearest tenth. Choice B, 5.7, is incorrect as it does not account for the 0.05 difference when rounding. Choice D, 6, is the next whole number and is not the correct decimal equivalent of 5 3/4.
In a class of 28 people, there are 12 men and 16 women. What is the ratio of men to women?
- A. 3:4
- B. 4:7
- C. 12:16
- D. 1:2
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct ratio of men to women is 3:4. To find the ratio, divide the number of men by the number of women: 12 men / 16 women = 3/4, which simplifies to 3:4. Therefore, in a class of 28 people with 12 men and 16 women, the ratio of men to women is 3:4. Choice B (4:7) is incorrect because it does not accurately reflect the given numbers of men and women in the class. Choice C (12:16) is incorrect as it represents the actual count of men and women, not the ratio. Choice D (1:2) is incorrect as it does not match the proportion of men to women in the class.
A farmer wants to plant trees around the outside boundaries of his rectangular field with dimensions of 650 meters 780 meters. Each tree requires 5 meters of free space all around it from the stem. How many trees can he plant?
- A. 572
- B. 568
- C. 286
- D. 282
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To determine the number of trees, reduce the field dimensions by 10 meters (5 meters of space on each side). The effective area is 640 meters 770 meters. Each tree occupies 10 meters 10 meters. Dividing the effective area by the space for each tree gives: (640 770) · (10 10) = 286 trees. Choice A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not consider the reduction in field dimensions and the space required for each tree.
