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. At a comic book store, Robert purchased three comics for $2.65 each. If he paid with a $20 bill, how much change did he receive?

• A. $12.05
• B. $11.05
• C. $10.00
• D. $13.50

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Robert spent a total of $7.95 on three comics ($2.65 each). When he paid with a $20 bill, the change he received can be calculated by subtracting the total cost from the payment amount: $20 - $7.95 = $12.05. Therefore, Robert received $12.05 in change. Choice B ($11.05) is incorrect because it doesn't reflect the correct calculation. Choice C ($10.00) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the total cost of the comics. Choice D ($13.50) is incorrect as it overestimates the change Robert received.

• A. 2,468.64
• B. 2,500.00
• C. 2,450.45
• D. 2,470.00

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When multiplying decimal numbers like 44.44 and 55.55, align them properly and multiply each place accurately. To find the product of 44.44 and 55.55, you get 2,468.64. Therefore, the correct answer is choice A, 2,468.64. Choice B, 2,500.00, is incorrect as it is the result of rounding up. Choice C, 2,450.45, is incorrect as it is not the result of multiplying 44.44 by 55.55. Choice D, 2,470.00, is incorrect as it is not the correct product of 44.44 and 55.55.

4. Stewart has 56 acres of land. He wants to divide the land into plots of 0.25 acres. How many plots of land will Stewart have after he divides the 56 acres?

• A. 224 plots
• B. 220 plots
• C. 210 plots
• D. 230 plots

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the number of plots, divide 56 acres by 0.25 acres per plot: 56 ÷ 0.25 = 224 plots. Therefore, Stewart will have 224 plots of land after dividing the 56 acres. The correct answer is A because dividing 56 acres by 0.25 acres per plot gives 224 plots, not 220, 210, or 230 plots.

5. How many grams are in 10 kilograms?

• A. 10,000 grams
• B. 100 grams
• C. 1000 grams
• D. 100,000 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 10,000 grams. There are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, to find the number of grams in 10 kilograms, you multiply 10 (kilograms) by 1,000 (grams/kilogram) to get 10,000 grams. Choice B (100 grams) is incorrect as it represents the conversion for 1 kilogram, not 10 kilograms. Choice C (1000 grams) is incorrect as it is equal to 1 kilogram, not 10 kilograms. Choice D (100,000 grams) is incorrect as it represents the conversion for 100 kilograms, not 10 kilograms.
