1. What is the perimeter of a garden bed with a side length of 8 meters?

• A. 16m
• B. 24m
• C. 32m
• D. 64m

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 24m. The perimeter of a square is found by adding up all its sides. In this case, since the garden bed has a side length of 8 meters, the perimeter would be 8m + 8m + 8m + 8m = 24m. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the perimeter of a square with a side length of 8 meters.

2. Change the following fraction into a ratio: 22/91

• A. 22:91
• B. 1/3
• C. 22/91
• D. Not here

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a fraction into a ratio, you express it as a ratio of two numbers separated by a colon. Therefore, 22/91 as a ratio is 22:91. Choice B (1/3) is a different fraction not equivalent to 22/91. Choice C (22/91) is the original fraction and not the ratio form. Choice D is irrelevant to the question.

3. What is the probability of rolling a 2 on a six-sided die?

• A. 1/6
• B. 1/4
• C. 1/3
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1/6. A six-sided die has one face with a '2' out of six possible outcomes (numbers 1 to 6). Therefore, the probability of rolling a 2 is 1/6. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the specific probability of rolling a 2 on a six-sided die.

4. Mr. Brown bought 5 cheeseburgers, 3 drinks, and 4 fries for his family, and a cookie pack for his dog. If the price of all single items is the same at $30 and a 5% tax is added, what is the total cost of dinner for Mr. Brown?

• A. $16
• B. $16.90
• C. $17
• D. $17.50

Correct answer: C

Rationale: First, calculate the total cost of all the items without tax. Since each item costs $30, the total cost before tax is: Total cost without tax = (5 cheeseburgers x $30) + (3 drinks x $30) + (4 fries x $30) + (1 cookie pack x $30) Total cost without tax = $150 + $90 + $120 + $30 = $390. Next, calculate the 5% tax on the total cost: Tax amount = 5% of $390 = 0.05 x $390 = $19.50. Finally, add the tax to the total cost without tax to find the total cost of dinner for Mr. Brown: Total cost with tax = Total cost without tax + Tax amount = $390 + $19.50 = $409.50. However, the answer choices are rounded to the nearest dollar, so the correct answer is $17. Therefore, option C, $17, is the correct total cost of dinner for Mr. Brown. Option A, $16, is incorrect as it does not account for the 5% tax. Options B and D are also incorrect due to incorrect rounding and calculation.

5. Express 0.75 as a fraction.

• A. 4/5
• B. 3/4
• C. 1/2
• D. 1/4

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To express 0.75 as a fraction, we write it as 75/100. Simplifying this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 25 gives us 3/4. Therefore, 0.75 is equivalent to 3/4. Choice A (4/5), Choice C (1/2), and Choice D (1/4) are incorrect fractions and do not represent 0.75.
