1. When a die is rolled, what is the probability of rolling an odd number?

• A. 16.67%
• B. 33.33%
• C. 75%
• D. 50%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When a die is rolled, there are 3 odd numbers (1, 3, 5) out of a total of 6 possible outcomes. The probability of rolling an odd number is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (3) by the total number of outcomes (6), resulting in a probability of 3/6 or 50%. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct probability calculation for rolling an odd number on a standard six-sided die.

2. What is 60% of 90?

• A. 54
• B. 58
• C. 60
• D. 65

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 60% of 90, you multiply 90 by 0.60 (which is the decimal form of 60%). So, 90 * 0.60 = 54. Therefore, 60% of 90 is 54. Choice A is correct. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation for finding 60% of 90.

3. Round to the nearest whole number: 4748 ÷ 12 =

• A. 372
• B. 384
• C. 396
• D. 412

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the answer, divide 4748 by 12: 4748 ÷ 12 = 395.666... Since we are rounding to the nearest whole number, we round up to 396 because the decimal part (.666) is greater than .5. Choice A (372) is too low as it does not account for the decimal value. Choice B (384) is also too low. Choice D (412) is too high as it goes beyond the correct rounded value.

4. A birdbath has a hemispherical bowl with a diameter of 30cm. What is its volume?

• A. 675 cu cm
• B. 1350 cu cm
• C. 2700 cu cm
• D. 4050 cu cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the volume of a hemispherical bowl, we use half the formula for a sphere's volume: (2/3) * π * (radius)^3. Given the diameter is 30cm, the radius is half of that, which is 15cm. Substitute the radius into the formula: (2/3) * π * (15cm)^3 ≈ 2700 cu cm. Therefore, the correct volume is approximately 2700 cu cm. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the volume of the hemispherical bowl.

5. Divide: 11 ÷ 5 =

• A. 1.424
• B. 1.622
• C. 2.2
• D. 2

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To divide 11 by 5, you need to perform the division operation. 11 divided by 5 equals 2.2. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (1.424) and Choice B (1.622) are incorrect as they do not result from the division of 11 by 5. Choice D (2) is close but not accurate, as the exact result of 11 divided by 5 is 2.2.
