1. If a car's gas tank is 3/4 full and the tank holds 16 gallons when full, how many gallons are in the tank?

• A. 12 gallons
• B. 8 gallons
• C. 14 gallons
• D. 10 gallons

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find out how many gallons are in the tank when it is 3/4 full, you need to calculate 3/4 of 16 gallons. 3/4 of 16 is (3/4) x 16 = 12 gallons. Therefore, the car's gas tank contains 12 gallons when it is 3/4 full. Choice B (8 gallons) is incorrect because that would be 1/2 of the tank's capacity, not 3/4. Choice C (14 gallons) is incorrect as it exceeds the full capacity of the tank. Choice D (10 gallons) is incorrect as it is less than 3/4 of the tank's capacity.

2. Convert 5/8 to a decimal.

• A. 0.625
• B. 0.5
• C. 0.4
• D. 0.75

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 5/8 to a decimal, divide 5 by 8: 5 ÷ 8 = 0.625. The correct answer is A (0.625). Choice B (0.5) is incorrect because it represents 1/2. Choice C (0.4) is incorrect because it represents 2/5. Choice D (0.75) is incorrect because it represents 3/4.

3. What is the probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die?

• A. 50%
• B. 66.70%
• C. 33.30%
• D. 25%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A six-sided die has three odd numbers (1, 3, 5) out of six possible outcomes. To calculate the probability, divide the number of favorable outcomes (odd numbers) by the total number of outcomes: 3/6 = 0.5 or 50%. Therefore, the probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die is 50%. Choice A is correct. Choice B (66.70%) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die. Choice C (33.30%) is incorrect as it represents the probability of rolling an even number. Choice D (25%) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die.

4. Multiply: 5.04 × 2 =

• A. 1.008
• B. 10.08
• C. 10.8
• D. 18

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To multiply 5.04 by 2, you simply multiply the two numbers together: 5.04 x 2 = 10.08. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (1.008) is incorrect as it represents the result of dividing 5.04 by 5 instead of multiplying. Choice C (10.8) is incorrect as it is the result of rounding 10.08 to the nearest whole number. Choice D (18) is incorrect as it results from adding 5.04 and 2 instead of multiplying.

5. Teresa began collecting baseball cards exactly 8 months ago, and in that time, she has collected 144 cards. On average, how many baseball cards has she collected per month?

• A. 12
• B. 16
• C. 18
• D. 22

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Teresa collected 144 baseball cards in 8 months. To find the average number of cards collected per month, we divide the total number of cards by the total months: 144 cards ÷ 8 months = 18 cards per month. Therefore, on average, Teresa has collected 18 baseball cards per month. Choice A (12), Choice B (16), and Choice D (22) are incorrect as they do not match the correct calculation based on the information provided in the question.
