1. Change the following decimal to a percent: 0.09

• A. 9%
• B. 90%
• C. 1%
• D. 0%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percentage, you multiply by 100. Therefore, 0.09 * 100 = 9%. The correct answer is A. Choice B (90%) is incorrect because multiplying 0.09 by 100 does not equal 90%. Choices C (1%) and D (0%) are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion of 0.09 to a percentage.

2. What is the result of dividing 2,032 by 25?

• A. 91 r3
• B. 81 r28
• C. 81 r7
• D. 9 r3

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When dividing 2,032 by 25, you find that 25 goes into 2,032 a total of 81 times without exceeding it. The remainder is 7, not 28 as stated in choice B. This is because 25 * 81 = 2,025, leaving a difference of 7, not 28. Choice A and D are incorrect because they do not correctly represent the division result of 2,032 by 25.

3. Compare: 0.045 is _____ to 0.054.

• A. Greater than
• B. Less than
• C. Less than or equal to
• D. Equal

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. When comparing 0.045 and 0.054, 0.045 is less than 0.054. Therefore, the correct relation is 'Less than.' Choice A ('Greater than') is incorrect because 0.045 is not greater than 0.054. Choice C ('Less than or equal to') is incorrect because 0.045 is strictly less than 0.054, not less than or equal to. Choice D ('Equal') is incorrect because 0.045 and 0.054 are not equal.

4. Express 0.025 as a ratio.

• A. 1:40
• B. 4:1
• C. 400:1
• D. 26:40:00

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.025 to a ratio, we can express it as 25:1000 and simplify it by dividing both terms by 25, resulting in 1:40. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (4:1) and C (400:1) do not represent the correct ratio for 0.025. Choice D (26:40:00) is incorrect as it does not follow the standard ratio format of two numbers separated by a colon.

5. What is the volume of a birthday party hat with a cone-shaped top having a radius of 5cm and a height of 12cm?

• A. 60 cu cm
• B. 120 cu cm
• C. 150 cu cm
• D. 180 cu cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the volume of a cone, we use the formula: (1/3) * π * (radius)^2 * height. Substituting the given values: (1/3) * π * (5cm)^2 * 12cm = 150 cu cm. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation using the formula for the volume of a cone.
