1. What is the result of dividing 4 7/8 by 1 1/6?

• A. 4 5/28
• B. 4 7/8
• C. 5 8/14
• D. 5 3/28

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To divide mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions and then multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. Here, 4 7/8 = 39/8 and 1 1/6 = 7/6. Dividing 39/8 by 7/6 gives 39/8 ÷ 7/6 = 39/8 * 6/7 = 234/56 = 4 5/28. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct result of dividing 4 7/8 by 1 1/6.

2. At a comic book store, Robert purchased three comics for $2.65 each. If he paid with a $20 bill, how much change did he receive?

• A. $12.05
• B. $11.05
• C. $10.00
• D. $13.50

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Robert spent a total of $7.95 on three comics ($2.65 each). When he paid with a $20 bill, the change he received can be calculated by subtracting the total cost from the payment amount: $20 - $7.95 = $12.05. Therefore, Robert received $12.05 in change. Choice B ($11.05) is incorrect because it doesn't reflect the correct calculation. Choice C ($10.00) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the total cost of the comics. Choice D ($13.50) is incorrect as it overestimates the change Robert received.

3. What is the solution to the equation 4y - 6 = 14? Solve for y.

• A. 4
• B. 5
• C. 6
• D. 7

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To solve the equation 4y - 6 = 14 for y, isolate y by adding 6 to both sides: 4y = 14 + 6 => 4y = 20. Then, divide by 4 to solve for y: y = 20 ÷ 4 = 5. Therefore, the correct answer is 5. Choice A is incorrect as it does not represent the correct solution to the equation. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the solution obtained after correctly solving the equation. Choice D is incorrect as it is not the correct solution to the given equation.

4. If his distribution cost is $10, what will be his profit?

• A. $10.40
• B. $19.60
• C. $14.90
• D. $23.40

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate profit, we subtract the total distribution cost from the revenue. Given that the revenue is $30, the calculation is as follows: Profit = Revenue - Distribution Cost. Therefore, Profit = $30 - $10 = $20. Hence, the profit will be $19.60. Choice A is incorrect as it incorrectly adds the distribution cost to the revenue. Choice C is incorrect as it does not consider the distribution cost. Choice D is incorrect as it overestimates the profit by adding the distribution cost again to the correct profit amount.

5. If a party planner assumes 2 bottles of sparkling water per 5 guests, how many bottles must she purchase for a party of 145 guests?

• A. 27
• B. 36
• C. 49
• D. 58

Correct answer: D

Rationale: If the party planner assumes 2 bottles of sparkling water per 5 guests, for a party of 145 guests, she would need ((2/5) x 145) bottles of sparkling water. This calculation results in 58 bottles. Therefore, she must purchase 58 bottles for the party of 145 guests. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given assumption.
