Which of these dates is represented by the Roman numeral MDXVI?
- A. 1106
- B. 1116
- C. 1506
- D. 1516
Correct Answer: D

Therefore, the correct answer is 1516. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not match the Roman numeral MDXVI.

Multiply: 5.04 2 =
- A. 1.008
- B. 10.08
- C. 10.8
- D. 18
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To multiply 5.04 by 2, you simply multiply the two numbers together: 5.04 x 2 = 10.08. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (1.008) is incorrect as it represents the result of dividing 5.04 by 5 instead of multiplying. Choice C (10.8) is incorrect as it is the result of rounding 10.08 to the nearest whole number. Choice D (18) is incorrect as it results from adding 5.04 and 2 instead of multiplying.
A team from the highway department can replace 14 streetlights in 7 hours of work. If they work a 30-hour week at this job, in how many weeks will they replace all 120 downtown streetlights?
- A. 1½ weeks
- B. 2 weeks
- C. 2½ weeks
- D. 3 weeks
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: If the team can replace 14 streetlights in 7 hours, it means they replace 2 streetlights per hour. In a 30-hour week, they can therefore replace 2 x 30 = 60 streetlights. To replace all 120 downtown streetlights, they will need 120 / 2 = 60 hours, which is equivalent to 60 / 30 = 2 weeks. Therefore, the correct answer is 2 weeks. Choice A, 1½ weeks, is incorrect because it doesn't consider the total number of streetlights that need to be replaced. Choice C, 2½ weeks, is incorrect as it overestimates the time needed. Choice D, 3 weeks, is incorrect as it underestimates the efficiency of the team in replacing streetlights.
A solution is 60% alcohol. If 200ml of the solution is used, how much pure alcohol is present?
- A. 100ml
- B. 120ml
- C. 140ml
- D. 160ml
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: If the solution is 60% alcohol, it means that 60% of the solution is alcohol. Therefore, in 200ml of the solution, the amount of alcohol present is: 200ml * 60% = 200ml * 0.60 = 120ml. So, when 200ml of the solution is used, there are 120ml of pure alcohol present. Choice A, 100ml, is incorrect because it does not account for the correct percentage of alcohol in the solution. Choice C, 140ml, and Choice D, 160ml, are incorrect as they overestimate the amount of pure alcohol present in the solution.
Divide: 5,117 · 31 =
- A. 109 r3
- B. 115 r14
- C. 133 r5
- D. 165 r2
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: When dividing 5,117 by 31, the quotient is 165 with a remainder of 2. The correct answer is 165 r2. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct division result. Choice A is close but has the wrong remainder. Choices B and C have incorrect quotients and remainders, making them inaccurate. Therefore, the correct answer is D, 165 r2.
In a scale drawing for a garden, 2 cm = 1 m. If the garden measures 8 cm by 10 cm in the drawing, how large will it be in reality?
- A. 2 m by 3 m
- B. 4 m by 5 m
- C. 8 m by 10 m
- D. 16 m by 20 m
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In the scale drawing, 2 cm represents 1 m. To find the actual dimensions of the garden in reality, we need to multiply the dimensions in the drawing by the scale factor. So, 8 cm x 2 = 16 cm in reality (length) and 10 cm x 2 = 20 cm in reality (width). Converting these to meters, the garden will be 16 m by 20 m. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly apply the scale factor to determine the actual dimensions of the garden.
