1. What is the result of adding 9.43 and 11.3?

• A. 20.73
• B. 21.3
• C. 22
• D. 19.5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 20.73. To calculate the sum of 9.43 and 11.3, you simply add the two numbers together. Therefore, 9.43 + 11.3 equals 20.73. Choice B (21.3) is incorrect because it represents the sum of rounding the numbers up. Choice C (22) and choice D (19.5) are also incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the sum of the provided numbers.

2. How many meters are in 3000 millimeters?

• A. 3 meters
• B. 30 meters
• C. 0.3 meters
• D. 300 meters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 1 meter is equal to 1000 millimeters. Therefore, to convert 3000 millimeters to meters, we divide by 1000. 3000 millimeters / 1000 = 3 meters. Choice A, '3 meters,' is the correct answer. Choice B, '30 meters,' is incorrect because it represents a miscalculation of multiplying instead of dividing. Choice C, '0.3 meters,' is incorrect as it is the result of a decimal error. Choice D, '300 meters,' is incorrect as it is a result of not converting millimeters to meters correctly.

3. Convert the fraction 7/8 into a decimal and percent.

• A. Decimal: 0.875, Percent: 87.5%
• B. Decimal: 0.78, Percent: 78%
• C. Decimal: 0.88, Percent: 88%
• D. Decimal: 0.90, Percent: 90%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert the fraction 7/8 into a decimal, you divide 7 by 8, which equals 0.875. To express this decimal as a percentage, you multiply it by 100 to get 87.5%. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the correct conversion of the fraction 7/8 into a decimal and a percent.

4. What is the greatest common factor (GCF) of 12 and 18?

• A. 2
• B. 3
• C. 6
• D. 9

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The greatest common factor (GCF) of two numbers is the largest number that divides both numbers without leaving a remainder. To find the GCF of 12 and 18, we factorize each number: 12 = 2 x 2 x 3 and 18 = 2 x 3 x 3. The common factors are 2 and 3. The GCF is the product of these common factors, which is 6. Therefore, 6 is the greatest common factor of 12 and 18. Choice A (2) and Choice B (3) are factors of both numbers but not the greatest common factor. Choice D (9) is not a factor of both 12 and 18, making it incorrect.

5. Later he spends $20 on bus tokens. How much is left from his original $100?

• A. $49.30
• B. $69.30
• C. $79.30
• D. $89.30

Correct answer: D

Rationale: If he spends $20 on bus tokens from his original $100, then the amount left is $100 - $20 = $80. The remaining 90% of $80 is calculated as $80 + 0.90 * $80 = $80 + $72 = $89.30. Therefore, the correct answer is $89.30. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the correct calculation of the remaining amount after spending $20.
