1. Convert the decimal to a percent: 0.64

• A. 0.64%
• B. 6.4%
• C. 64%
• D. 0.064%

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percent, you multiply by 100 or move the decimal point two places to the right. In this case, 0.64 becomes 64%. Therefore, the correct answer is 64%. Choice A, 0.64%, is incorrect because it does not convert the decimal to a percent. Choice B, 6.4%, is incorrect as it mistakenly moves the decimal point only one place. Choice D, 0.064%, is incorrect as it moves the decimal point three places instead of two.

2. What is the volume of water needed to fill a rectangular swimming pool with dimensions 10 meters by 5 meters and a depth of 2 meters?

• A. 50 cu m
• B. 100 cu m
• C. 150 cu m
• D. 200 cu m

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the volume of the rectangular swimming pool, you need to multiply the length by the width by the depth. Volume = Length x Width x Depth. Therefore, Volume = 10m x 5m x 2m = 100 cubic meters. This means it takes 100 cubic meters of water to fill the pool. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the volume based on the provided dimensions.

3. A train travels at 70 mph for 6 hours. How far did it travel?

• A. 490 miles
• B. 490 miles
• C. 540 miles
• D. 420 miles

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the distance traveled, multiply the speed of 70 mph by the time of 6 hours: 70 mph × 6 hours = 420 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is 420 miles. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not result from the correct calculation.

4. What is the average of the numbers 14, 73, and 7?

• A. 28.57
• B. 30.57
• C. 29.56
• D. 31.33

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Adding 14 + 73 + 7 gives a total of 94. To find the average, we divide the sum by the number of values (3), which equals 31.33. Rounding this average to two decimal places gives us 31.33, which corresponds to option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the average of the given numbers. Choice A is close to the sum of the numbers, not the average. Choices B and C are also not correct averages calculated from the provided numbers.

5. What is the solution to the equation 4y - 6 = 14? Solve for y.

• A. 4
• B. 5
• C. 6
• D. 7

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To solve the equation 4y - 6 = 14 for y, isolate y by adding 6 to both sides: 4y = 14 + 6 => 4y = 20. Then, divide by 4 to solve for y: y = 20 ÷ 4 = 5. Therefore, the correct answer is 5. Choice A is incorrect as it does not represent the correct solution to the equation. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the solution obtained after correctly solving the equation. Choice D is incorrect as it is not the correct solution to the given equation.
