1. A train travels at 65 mph for 1.5 hours. How far did it travel?

• A. 97.5 miles
• B. 95 miles
• C. 100 miles
• D. 100.5 miles

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the distance traveled, multiply the speed of the train (65 mph) by the time it traveled (1.5 hours): 65 mph × 1.5 hours = 97.5 miles. Therefore, the train traveled 97.5 miles. Choice B, 95 miles, is incorrect as it does not account for the correct calculation. Choice C, 100 miles, is incorrect as it is a rounded-up value. Choice D, 100.5 miles, is incorrect as it is a miscalculation.

2. What is the result of dividing 3.44 by 0.6?

• A. 11.41
• B. 5.73
• C. 2.33
• D. 0.57

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 5.73. When dividing 3.44 by 0.6, the calculation is 3.44 ÷ 0.6 = 5.73. Choice A (11.41) is incorrect because it is the result of multiplying, not dividing. Choice C (2.33) and Choice D (0.57) are also incorrect results obtained by incorrect calculations.

3. Jenny lost 3.2 lbs each month for 6 months. How much weight has Jenny lost?

• A. 19.2 lbs
• B. 15 lbs
• C. 20 lbs
• D. 18 lbs

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine how much weight Jenny has lost, you need to multiply the weight lost per month (3.2 lbs) by the number of months (6). 3.2 lbs x 6 = 19.2 lbs. Therefore, Jenny has lost a total of 19.2 lbs. Choice B (15 lbs) is incorrect because it does not account for the total weight lost over the 6 months. Choice C (20 lbs) is incorrect as it overestimates the total weight lost. Choice D (18 lbs) is incorrect as it underestimates the total weight lost.

4. How many milligrams are in 7 grams?

• A. 7000 mg
• B. 7 mg
• C. 700 mg
• D. 70 mg

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milligrams in a gram. So, 1,000 x 7 grams = 7,000 mg. This means that there are 7,000 milligrams in 7 grams. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert grams to milligrams.

5. Round to the nearest whole number. Change the fraction to a percent: 17/80 =

• A. 20%
• B. 21%
• C. 22%
• D. 23%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 17/80 to a percent, we divide 17 by 80 to get 0.2125. Multiplying by 100, we get 21.25%. Rounding to the nearest whole number, 21.25% becomes 21%. Choice A (20%) is incorrect because rounding 21.25% down to the nearest whole number gives 21%. Choice C (22%) is incorrect as it is the next whole number after 21. Choice D (23%) is incorrect as it is more than 21.25% and thus rounds up to 22%.
