1. Convert the decimal 0.98 to a percent.

• A. 98%
• B. 9%
• C. 98
• D. 99%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percent, you multiply the decimal by 100. In this case, 0.98 × 100 = 98%. Therefore, the correct answer is A, which is 98%. Choice B (9%) is incorrect as it results from an error in calculation. Choice C (98) is incorrect as it lacks the percent symbol. Choice D (99%) is incorrect as it is not the equivalent percentage of 0.98.

2. Sarah had 1 quart of milk. How many ounces of milk is that?

• A. 16 ounces
• B. 24 ounces
• C. 32 ounces
• D. 48 ounces

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 32 ounces. One quart is equivalent to 32 ounces. To convert quarts to ounces, you need to know that 1 quart equals 32 ounces. Therefore, 1 quart of milk is equal to 32 ounces. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately convert 1 quart to ounces.

3. The price dropped from $200 to $150. By what percentage did the price decrease?

• A. 5%
• B. 10%
• C. 20%
• D. 25%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The difference between the original price ($200) and the new price ($150) is $50. To find the percentage decrease, divide the difference by the original price and multiply by 100: ($50 / $200) × 100 = 25%. Therefore, the correct answer is D, meaning the price decreased by 25%. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the percentage decrease in price.

4. How many milliliters are in 6 liters?

• A. 60 milliliters
• B. 6000 milliliters
• C. 600 milliliters
• D. 0.6 milliliters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 6000 milliliters. There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. To convert liters to milliliters, you multiply the number of liters by 1,000. Therefore, 6 liters = 6 × 1,000 = 6,000 milliliters. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert liters to milliliters.

5. Find x. 120:x = 40:0.5.

• A. 60
• B. 0
• C. 1
• D. 25

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find x, set up the proportion and solve for x: 120/x = 40/0.5. Cross multiply to get 120 * 0.5 = 40x. This simplifies to 60 = 40x. Divide by 40 to isolate x, giving x = 60/40 = 1. Therefore, the correct answer is C, which is 1. Choice A (60) is incorrect because it does not match the correct calculation. Choice B (0) is incorrect as the calculation results in x = 1, not 0. Choice D (25) is incorrect as it does not match the correct calculation of x = 1.
