1. Change 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, multiply by 100. In this case, 0.64 × 100 = 64%. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (0.64%) is incorrect as it represents the original decimal value in percentage form. Choice B (6.4%) is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies the decimal value by 10 instead of 100. Choice D (0.064%) is incorrect as it represents the decimal value as a fraction of 1000 instead of 100.

2. What is 33% of 300?

• A. 3
• B. 9
• C. 33
• D. 99

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find 33% of 300, you multiply 300 by 0.33 (which is the decimal equivalent of 33%). 300 * 0.33 = 99. Therefore, 33% of 300 equals 99. Choice A (3) is incorrect as it is too small for 33% of 300. Choice B (9) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct calculation for finding 33% of 300. Choice C (33) is incorrect as it represents the percentage value itself, not the result of calculating 33% of 300.

3. How many ounces are in 2.5 quarts?

• A. 64 ounces
• B. 40 ounces
• C. 32 ounces
• D. 80 ounces

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, you need to know that 1 quart is equal to 32 ounces. Therefore, to find out how many ounces are in 2.5 quarts, you multiply 2.5 by 32, which equals 80 ounces. So, the correct answer is 80 ounces. Choice A (64 ounces) is incorrect as it miscalculates the conversion. Choice B (40 ounces) is incorrect as it does not consider the correct conversion factor. Choice C (32 ounces) is incorrect as it provides the conversion for 1 quart only, not for 2.5 quarts.

4. In your class, there are 48 students; 32 students are female. Approximately what percentage are male?

• A. 33%
• B. 66%
• C. 25%
• D. 45%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In a class of 48 students, with 32 being female, the number of male students is 48 - 32 = 16. To calculate the percentage of male students, divide the number of male students (16) by the total number of students (48) and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage: (16 / 48) * 100 = 33%. Therefore, approximately 33% of the students in the class are male. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information.

5. What is the probability of rolling a 2 on a six-sided die?

• A. 1/6
• B. 1/4
• C. 1/3
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1/6. A six-sided die has one face with a '2' out of six possible outcomes (numbers 1 to 6). Therefore, the probability of rolling a 2 is 1/6. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the specific probability of rolling a 2 on a six-sided die.
