2. A train travels at 70 mph for 6 hours. How far did it travel?

• A. 490 miles
• B. 490 miles
• C. 540 miles
• D. 420 miles

Rationale: To find the distance traveled, multiply the speed of 70 mph by the time of 6 hours: 70 mph × 6 hours = 420 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is 420 miles. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not result from the correct calculation.

3. In a class of 25 students, 44% are boys. How many boys are there?

• A. 10 boys
• B. 11 boys
• C. 9 boys

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the number of boys in the class, calculate 44% of 25 students. 44% of 25 is calculated as follows: 0.44 x 25 = 11 boys. Therefore, there are 11 boys in the class. Choice A, 10 boys, is incorrect as it miscalculates the percentage. Choice C, 9 boys, is incorrect as it is less than 11. Choice D, 13 boys, is incorrect as it is greater than the correct calculation.

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 0.09%. To convert 0.0009 to a percentage, move the decimal point four places to the right and add a percentage sign. Therefore, 0.0009 is equal to 0.09%. Choice B (9%) is incorrect as it represents 0.09 without the decimal point adjustment. Choice C (0.01%) is incorrect as it represents 0.0009 with one less zero. Choice D (0.90%) is incorrect as it represents 0.9 not 0.0009.
