Sample questions

1. A jug contains 2 liters of water. If the water is poured into glasses that each hold 250 milliliters, how many glasses can be filled completely?

   1. 6
   2. 7
   3. 8
   4. 9
   Show answer

   Answer: C. 8

   First, convert liters to milliliters: 2 liters = 2 * 1000 milliliters = 2000 milliliters. Number of glasses = Total volume / Volume per glass. Number of glasses = 2000 ml / 250 ml = 8 glasses.

2. A marathon is approximately 42 kilometers long. If a runner maintains a pace of 10 kilometers per hour, how much time will it take him to complete the marathon?

   1. 4 hours and 10 minutes
   2. 4 hours and 12 minutes
   3. 4 hours and 20 minutes
   4. 4 hours and 30 minutes
   Show answer

   Answer: B. 4 hours and 12 minutes

   Time = Distance / Speed. Time = 42 km / 10 km/hr = 4.2 hours. The whole number part is 4 hours. To convert the decimal part to minutes, multiply by 60: 0.2 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 12 minutes. So, the time is 4 hours and 12 minutes.

3. A runner completes a 10 kilometer race in 50 minutes. What is their average speed in kilometers per minute?

   1. 0.1 km/min
   2. 0.2 km/min
   3. 0.25 km/min
   4. 0.5 km/min
   Show answer

   Answer: B. 0.2 km/min

   Average speed = Total distance / Total time. Average speed = 10 km / 50 minutes = 10/50 km/min = 1/5 km/min = 0.2 km/min.

4. A jug contains 1.2 liters of water. If you pour out 300 milliliters, how much water is left in the jug in liters?

   1. 0.8 liters
   2. 0.9 liters
   3. 1.0 liters
   4. 1.1 liters
   Show answer

   Answer: B. 0.9 liters

   Convert milliliters to liters: 300 milliliters = 300 / 1000 liters = 0.3 liters. Water left = Initial volume - Volume poured. Water left = 1.2 liters - 0.3 liters = 0.9 liters.

5. A can holds 2.5 liters of paint. How many milliliters of paint are in 3 such cans?

   1. 750 ml
   2. 7500 ml
   3. 7.5 ml
   4. 75 ml
   Show answer

   Answer: B. 7500 ml

   Convert liters to milliliters: 2.5 liters = 2.5 * 1000 ml = 2500 ml. Total paint = Paint per can * Number of cans. Total paint = 2500 ml * 3 = 7500 ml.
