1. A man is reading a book with 798 pages. If he reads 2 chapters a day and each chapter has 6 pages, how many days will it take him to finish the book?

• A. 133 days
• B. 399 days
• C. 66.5 days
• D. 75 days

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the total number of chapters, divide the total number of pages by the number of pages per chapter: 798 ÷ 6 = 133 chapters. Reading 2 chapters per day means it will take 133 ÷ 2 = 66.5 days. Choice A, 133 days, is incorrect because it miscalculates the days needed to finish the book. Choice B, 399 days, is incorrect as it doesn't consider the number of chapters read per day. Choice D, 75 days, is incorrect as it doesn't account for the total number of chapters in the book.

2. How many grams are in 5 kilograms?

• A. 50,000 grams
• B. 500 grams
• C. 5,000 grams
• D. 50,000 grams

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 5,000 grams. There are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, to convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply the number of kilograms by 1,000. In this case, 5 kilograms is equal to 5 × 1,000 = 5,000 grams. Choices A and D are incorrect as they incorrectly multiply by 10,000 instead of 1,000. Choice B is incorrect as it divides instead of multiplies, leading to an incorrect conversion.

3. What is the result of 0.003 x 4.23?

• A. 0.01269
• B. 0.01029
• C. 0.01419
• D. 0.01329

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the product of 0.003 and 4.23, multiply the two numbers: 0.003 x 4.23 = 0.01269. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 0.01269. Choice B, 0.01029, is incorrect as it is the result of a different calculation. Choice C, 0.01419, is incorrect because it is not the product of 0.003 and 4.23. Choice D, 0.01329, is also incorrect as it does not represent the correct multiplication result.

4. If he left a tip of $36 on a total bill of $200, what percentage of the total bill did he leave as a tip?

• A. 16%
• B. 18%
• C. 20%
• D. 22%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine the tip percentage left, divide the tip amount ($36) by the total bill amount ($200), then multiply the result by 100 to express it as a percentage: (36/200) x 100 = 18%. Therefore, he left an 18% tip on the total bill amount. Choice A (16%) is incorrect because the correct calculation results in 18%. Choice C (20%) and Choice D (22%) are incorrect as they do not match the calculated percentage based on the provided numbers.

5. What is the result of adding 1/4 + 3/8?

• A. 5/8
• B. 7/12
• C. 2/3
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions with different denominators, find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator of 4 and 8 is 8. Convert 1/4 to 2/8, then add it to 3/8. The sum is 5/8. Choice B (7/12) is incorrect as it is the result of adding 1/3 + 1/4. Choice C (2/3) is incorrect as it is the result of adding 3/8 + 1/4. Choice D (1/2) is incorrect as it is the result of adding 1/4 + 1/4.
