1. In a bowling team consisting of 34 members, with 18 being male, if 4 females leave the team, what percent of the remaining members are male?

• A. 50%
• B. 60%
• C. 70%
• D. 55%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: After 4 females leave the team, there are 30 members remaining. Out of these, 18 are male. To find the percentage of male members, divide the number of male members (18) by the total number of remaining members (30) and multiply by 100. Percentage of male members = (18/30) * 100 = 60%. Therefore, 60% of the remaining members are male. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the information provided in the question.

2. If Jolene averages 5 miles for every 30 minutes of biking, how far will she bike in 2 hours?

• A. 10 miles
• B. 15 miles
• C. 20 miles
• D. 30 miles

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If Jolene bikes 5 miles for every 30 minutes, it means she bikes 10 miles in one hour (twice the 30-minute interval). Therefore, in 2 hours, she will cover double the distance she bikes in one hour, which equals 20 miles (10 miles per hour x 2 hours = 20 miles). This makes Choice C, '20 miles,' the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not account for the correct doubling of the hourly distance when calculating the total distance biked in 2 hours.

3. There are 6,657 marbles in a jar. Approximately 34% are white, and the rest are black. How many black marbles are there?

• A. 4,394
• B. 4,000
• C. 3,000
• D. 5,000

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the number of black marbles, we need to calculate the percentage that represents the black marbles, which is 100% - 34% = 66%. Then, we find 66% of 6,657 to determine the number of black marbles. 66% of 6,657 is approximately 4,394, so there are 4,394 black marbles in the jar. Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation for the number of black marbles in the jar.

4. What is 0.9 divided by 3?

• A. 0
• B. 3
• C. 0.3
• D. 9

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the result of dividing 0.9 by 3, we perform the division operation, which equals 0.3. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.3. Choice A (0) is incorrect as the result is not zero, but 0.3. Choice B (3) is incorrect as 0.9 divided by 3 is not 3 but 0.3. Choice D (9) is incorrect as 0.9 divided by 3 is not 9 but 0.3.

5. A patient needs to increase his calcium intake. If each tablet contains 500 mg of calcium and the patient needs to take 1,500 mg per day, how many tablets should the patient take?

• A. 3 tablets
• B. 4 tablets
• C. 2 tablets
• D. 5 tablets

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the number of tablets needed, divide the total daily calcium intake required (1,500 mg) by the amount of calcium in each tablet (500 mg). 1,500 mg ÷ 500 mg = 3 tablets. Therefore, the patient should take 3 tablets to meet the 1,500 mg daily intake. Choice B, 4 tablets, is incorrect because it would exceed the required 1,500 mg. Choice C, 2 tablets, is insufficient to meet the daily intake. Choice D, 5 tablets, is also incorrect as it would exceed the required amount.
