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 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. Express the number 1906 in Roman numerals.

• A. MCMIV
• B. MCMVI
• C. MDCCCCVI
• D. MCMVII

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 1906 to Roman numerals, break it down into components: 1000 (M), 900 (CM), 6 (VI), resulting in MCMVI. Therefore, the correct Roman numeral representation for 1906 is MCMVI. Choice A (MCMIV) is incorrect as it represents 1904. Choice C (MDCCCCVI) is incorrect because it uses the subtractive notation incorrectly, and it's considered nonstandard. Choice D (MCMVII) is incorrect as it represents 1907, not 1906.

4. How many pounds are in 128 ounces?

• A. 16 pounds
• B. 10 pounds
• C. 12 pounds
• D. 8 pounds

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 8 pounds. There are 16 ounces in a pound. To convert 128 ounces to pounds, you divide 128 by 16, which equals 8 pounds. Choice A, 16 pounds, is incorrect because that would be the conversion the other way around, from pounds to ounces. Choices B and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct conversion from ounces to pounds.

5. Solve for x: 3x + 2 = 14

• A. x = 4
• B. x = 2
• C. x = 6
• D. x = 3

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the equation 3x + 2 = 14, first, subtract 2 from both sides to isolate 3x: 3x = 12. Then, divide by 3 to solve for x: x = 4. Therefore, the correct answer is A, x = 4. Choice B, x = 2, is incorrect because it does not satisfy the equation. Choice C, x = 6, is incorrect as well since it does not satisfy the equation. Choice D, x = 3, is also incorrect as it does not satisfy the given equation.
