1. A group of 8 friends went out to eat at a restaurant. They decided to split the bill evenly. If the bill totaled $120, how much did each friend pay?

• A. $15
• B. $10
• C. $12
• D. $20

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine how much each friend paid, divide the total bill amount by the number of friends. In this scenario, $120 ÷ 8 friends = $15. Therefore, each friend paid $15. Choice B ($10) is incorrect because dividing $120 by 8 does not yield $10. Choice C ($12) is incorrect because dividing $120 by 8 does not yield $12. Choice D ($20) is incorrect because dividing $120 by 8 does not yield $20.

2. Convert 3/4 to a decimal.

• A. 0.75
• B. 0.5
• C. 0.65
• D. 0.85

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. In this case, 3 divided by 4 is equal to 0.75. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the equivalent decimal value of 3/4. 0.5 is the decimal equivalent of 1/2, 0.65 is the decimal equivalent of 13/20, and 0.85 is the decimal equivalent of 17/20.

3. What is the probability of rolling a 4 on a six-sided die?

• A. 1/2
• B. 1/6
• C. 1/3
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 1/6. When rolling a six-sided die, there is only one outcome that results in a '4' out of a total of six possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Therefore, the probability of rolling a 4 is 1/6. Choice A (1/2) is incorrect as it represents the probability of rolling an even number on a six-sided die, not specifically a '4.' Choice C (1/3) and Choice D (1/2) do not accurately reflect the probability of rolling a '4' on a six-sided die.

4. Multiply: 54 × 45. Express the result in decimal form.

• A. 0.0243
• B. 0.243
• C. 2.43
• D. 24.3

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To multiply 54 by 45, you should multiply the two numbers together: 54 x 45 = 2430. The decimal point is placed after counting the total decimal places in the numbers being multiplied. As there are no decimal places in the numbers 54 and 45, the result is 2430, which is correctly expressed as 24.3 when considering the decimal point placement. Choice A (0.0243) and Choice B (0.243) are incorrect as they represent fractions of 2430. Choice C (2.43) is incorrect as it incorrectly places the decimal point one place before the actual result.

5. What is the result of multiplying 10 by 5?

• A. 65
• B. 50
• C. 45
• D. 55

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. To find the result of multiplying 10 by 5, you perform the calculation: 10 × 5 = 50. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the accurate product of 10 multiplied by 5.
