1. Convert 7/8 to a decimal.

• A. 0.8
• B. 0.8
• C. 0.875
• D. 0.9

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert the fraction 7/8 to a decimal, you divide the numerator (7) by the denominator (8): 7 ÷ 8 = 0.875. Therefore, the correct decimal representation of the fraction 7/8 is 0.875. Choice A and B, which are both 0.8, are incorrect as they represent 4/5 and not 7/8. Choice D, 0.9, is also incorrect as it represents 9/10 and not 7/8.

2. If a horse can trot around a track twice in 10 minutes, how many times will it circle the track at that same speed in half an hour?

• A. 3 times
• B. 5 times
• C. 6 times
• D. 10 times

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If a horse can trot around a track twice in 10 minutes, it completes one circle in 5 minutes. To determine how many times it will circle the track in half an hour (30 minutes), divide the total time by the time taken for one circle: 30 minutes / 5 minutes per circle = 6 times. Therefore, the horse will circle the track 6 times at the same speed in half an hour. Choice A, 3 times, is incorrect as it does not consider the correct time taken for a single circle. Choice B, 5 times, is incorrect as it miscalculates the total number of circles within half an hour. Choice D, 10 times, is incorrect as it overestimates the number of circles the horse can complete in the given time frame.

3. Erin has 6.25 peach pies. She gives Rose 3.75 of the peach pies. How many pies does Erin have left?

• A. 2 peach pies
• B. 3 peach pies
• C. 1 peach pie
• D. 2 peach pies

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find how many pies Erin has left, subtract 3.75 from 6.25: 6.25 - 3.75 = 2.5 peach pies. Erin has 2.5 peach pies left, which rounds down to 2 pies, making choice A the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct subtraction result.

4. How many gallons are in 576 fluid ounces?

• A. 4 gallons
• B. 5 gallons
• C. 6 gallons
• D. 3 gallons

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert fluid ounces to gallons, you need to know that there are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon. To find how many gallons are in 576 fluid ounces, divide 576 by 128, which equals 4.5 gallons. Since we are looking for the closest whole number, the answer is 4 gallons. Choice A is correct. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the conversion from fluid ounces to gallons.

5. What is the sum of 3/7, 4/7, and 2/7?

• A. 7/7
• B. 9/7
• C. 6/7
• D. 7/7

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the sum of fractions with the same denominator, add the numerators. Here, 3/7 + 4/7 + 2/7 = (3 + 4 + 2)/7 = 9/7. Therefore, the correct answer is 9/7. Choice A (7/7) is incorrect as the sum is not 7/7. Choice C (6/7) is incorrect as the sum is not 6/7. Choice D (7/7) is incorrect as the sum is not 7/7.
