1. What number is 80 125% of?

• A. 48
• B. 64
• C. 68
• D. 78

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the number that 80 is 125% of, we can set up the equation: x = 80 / 1.25. Solving this equation gives x = 64. Therefore, 80 is 125% of 64. Choice A (48) is incorrect because it is not the correct value that 80 is 125% of. Choice C (68) is incorrect as it is not the value that satisfies the given percentage relationship. Choice D (78) is incorrect as it does not match the calculation result.

2. A medication dosage is listed as 1/2 teaspoon. What is the equivalent dosage in milliliters (1 teaspoon = 5ml)?

• A. 1.25ml
• B. 2.5ml
• C. 3.75ml
• D. 5ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: Given that 1 teaspoon is equal to 5ml, and the medication dosage is listed as 1/2 teaspoon, we need to find half of 5ml. 1/2 of 5ml = 5ml / 2 = 2.5ml Therefore, the equivalent dosage in milliliters for 1/2 teaspoon is 2.5ml.

3. 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.

4. What is 25% of 200?

• A. 50
• B. 60
• C. 25
• D. 30

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 25% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.25. So, to calculate 25% of 200, you do 0.25 × 200 = 50. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (60) is incorrect as it is the result of calculating 30% of 200. Choice C (25) is incorrect as it represents 12.5% of 200. Choice D (30) is incorrect as it is the result of calculating 15% of 200.

5. In a local baseball team, 4 players, which represent 5% of the team, have long hair, and the rest have short hair. How many short-haired players are there on the team?

• A. 72
• B. 74
• C. 76
• D. 78

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Given that 4 players represent 5% of the team, let's denote the total number of players as x. The equation to represent this situation is 0.05x = 4. Solving for x, we get x = 80, which is the total number of players on the team. Since 4 players have long hair, the remaining players have short hair, which is 80 - 4 = 76. Therefore, there are 76 short-haired players on the team. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not consider the total number of players correctly, leading to inaccurate calculations.
