1. What is the result of dividing 152 by 2?

• A. 0.0116
• B. 0.116
• C. 76
• D. 11.6

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To divide 152 by 2, you perform the division operation, which is 152 ÷ 2 = 76. The correct answer is 76. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Choice A, 0.0116, is the result of dividing 1 by 152 instead of 152 by 2. Choice B, 0.116, is the result of dividing 1.52 by 2. Choice D, 11.6, is the result of multiplying 152 by 2.

2. A pizza has a diameter of 40cm. What is its perimeter (circumference)?

• A. 62.8cm
• B. 125.5cm
• C. 125.6cm
• D. 251.2cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: The correct answer is obtained by applying the formula for the circumference of a circle, which is \(C = \pi \times d\), where \(d\) is the diameter of the circle. By substituting the given diameter of 40cm into the formula and performing the calculation, we find that the circumference of the pizza is 125.6cm.

3. If a recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar and you want to make half of the recipe, how many cups of sugar do you need?

• A. 1 cup
• B. 1.5 cups
• C. 2 cups
• D. 0.5 cups

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To make half of the recipe that calls for 2 cups of sugar, you would need 1 cup of sugar. Choice A is correct because half of 2 cups is 1 cup. Choice B (1.5 cups) is incorrect as it is three-quarters of the original amount, not half. Choice C (2 cups) is the amount required for the full recipe, not for half. Choice D (0.5 cups) is half of 1 cup, not half of 2 cups.

4. Solve for x: x/250 = 3/500.

• A. 150
• B. 25.5
• C. 1.5
• D. 60

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To solve for x, cross-multiply: x/250 = 3/500. This simplifies to x = 1.5. Therefore, the correct answer is 1.5. Choice A (150) is incorrect because it does not account for the division by 250. Choice B (25.5) is incorrect as it is not the correct result of the calculation. Choice D (60) is incorrect as it is not the correct result of the calculation either.

5. What is 35% of 70?

• A. 17.5
• B. 24.5
• C. 35
• D. 50

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find 35% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.35. In this case, 35% of 70 is calculated as 70 x 0.35 = 24.5. Choice A (17.5) is incorrect because it represents 25% of 70. Choice C (35) is incorrect as it is the percentage itself, not the result of the calculation. Choice D (50) is incorrect as it does not represent the result of finding 35% of 70.
