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. What is the result of the addition: 34 + 4 + 234?

• A. 70.2
• B. 230.72
• C. 234.74
• D. 272

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Adding the given numbers together: 34 + 4 + 234 = 272. The correct sum is 272. Choice A, 70.2, is incorrect as it does not reflect the accurate addition of the numbers. Choice B, 230.72, is incorrect as well. Choice C, 234.74, is also incorrect since the correct sum is 272, not 234.74.

3. Convert 2/5 to a decimal.

• A. 0.5
• B. 0.25
• C. 0.4
• D. 0.5

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert 2/5 to a decimal, you divide the numerator (2) by the denominator (5): 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4. Therefore, the correct decimal representation of 2/5 is 0.4. Choice A (0.5) is incorrect because it represents 1/2, not 2/5. Choice B (0.25) is incorrect as it represents 1/4, not 2/5. Choice D (0.5) is incorrect as it also represents 1/2, not 2/5.

4. 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.

5. 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.
