1. Add: 1.332 + 0.067

• A. 1.399
• B. 1.4
• C. 1.402
• D. 1.5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the sum of 1.332 and 0.067, add the two numbers correctly: 1.332 + 0.067 = 1.399. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (1.4) is incorrect because it rounds down the sum, not considering the precise value. Choice C (1.402) is incorrect as it results from adding 1.332 and 0.070 instead of 0.067. Choice D (1.5) is not the correct sum of the given numbers.

2. If Randy sells 8 times as many vacuum cleaners as Janice, and Janice sells 690 vacuum cleaners per year, on average, how many does Randy sell each month?

• A. 4,600
• B. 5,520
• C. 6,400
• D. 8,320

Correct answer: B

Rationale: If Janice sells 690 vacuum cleaners per year, Randy sells 8 times that amount, which is 690 x 8 = 5,520 vacuum cleaners per year. To find out how many Randy sells each month, you divide 5,520 by 12 (months), which equals 460 vacuum cleaners per month. Therefore, Randy sells 5,520 vacuum cleaners per year divided by 12 months, which equals 460 vacuum cleaners per month. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the information provided.

3. 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.

4. How many millimeters are in 5 meters?

• A. 5000 mm
• B. 4000 mm
• C. 5500 mm
• D. 6000 mm

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert meters to millimeters, you multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 millimeters in 1 meter. Therefore, 5 meters multiplied by 1000 equals 5000 millimeters. Choice A is correct as it represents the accurate conversion from meters to millimeters. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not provide the correct conversion factor from meters to millimeters.

5. A woman received a bottle of perfume as a present. The bottle contains 1/2 oz of perfume. How many milliliters is this?

• A. 15 mL
• B. 20 mL
• C. 10 mL
• D. 50 mL

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 1/2 oz of perfume is equal to approximately 15 mL. To convert ounces to milliliters, we need to know that 1 oz is approximately 30 mL. Therefore, half an ounce, which is 1/2 oz, would be half of 30 mL, which equals 15 mL. Choice B, 20 mL, is incorrect as it does not correspond to the conversion factor of 1 oz to 30 mL. Choice C, 10 mL, is incorrect as it is half of the actual value. Choice D, 50 mL, is incorrect as it is the value of 1 oz rather than half an ounce.
