1. 7:5=91:x. Find x.

• A. x=65
• B. x=55
• C. x=75
• D. x=85

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the proportion 7:5=91:x, cross multiply to get 7x = 5 * 91. Then, solve for x by dividing both sides by 7, which gives x = 65. Therefore, the correct answer is x=65. Choice B, x=55, is incorrect because it does not satisfy the proportion equation. Choices C and D, x=75 and x=85, are also incorrect as they do not match the calculated value of x when the proportion is solved.

2. How many ounces are there in 4 cups?

• A. 16 ounces
• B. 24 ounces
• C. 28 ounces
• D. 32 ounces

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find out how many ounces are in 4 cups, you need to multiply 8 ounces (the number of ounces in 1 cup) by 4 cups. This calculation results in 32 ounces. However, the question asks for the number of ounces in 4 cups, not the total ounces in 4 cups. Therefore, there are 16 ounces in 4 cups. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct conversion of ounces in 4 cups.

3. What is the result of subtracting 2 5/8 from 7/8?

• A. 1 3/4
• B. 2
• C. 1
• D. 2 & 1/2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To subtract 2 5/8 from 7/8, first, convert 7/8 to an equivalent fraction with the same denominator as 2 5/8, which is 8. 7/8 equals 1 whole and 1/8. Subtracting 1 whole from 2 whole results in 1 whole, and subtracting 1/8 from 5/8 gives 4/8 or 1/2. Therefore, the answer is 1 1/2, which simplifies to 1 3/4. Choice B, 2, is incorrect as it doesn't represent the correct result of the subtraction. Choice C, 1, is incorrect as it doesn't account for the fractional part of the answer. Choice D, 2 & 1/2, is incorrect as it doesn't match the calculated result of 1 3/4.

4. Sally was able to eat 5/8 of her lunch. John ate 75% of his lunch. Who ate more of their meal?

• A. Sally
• B. John
• C. Neither
• D. Both

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To compare who ate more of their meal, we need to convert the fractions to the same format. John ate 75% of his lunch, which is equivalent to 3/4. Sally ate 5/8 of her lunch. Comparing 3/4 to 5/8, we find that 3/4 is greater than 5/8. Therefore, John ate more of his meal than Sally. Choice B, John, is the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because John consumed 3/4 of his lunch, which is more than 5/8 that Sally consumed, making him the one who ate more of his meal.

5. Calculate: (88)(7.08) =

• A. 862.5
• B. 88.040
• C. 64.252
• D. 623.04

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the product of 88 and 7.08, simply multiply the two numbers: 88 x 7.08 = 623.04. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not result from the correct multiplication of 88 and 7.08.
