1. 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.

2. Express the ratio of 13:60 as a percentage.

• A. 19.50%
• B. 21.67%
• C. 25.50%
• D. 31%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To express the ratio 13:60 as a percentage, calculate the decimal form of the ratio by dividing 13 by 60: 13/60 ≈ 0.2167. Next, convert this decimal to a percentage by multiplying by 100: 0.2167 x 100 = 21.67%. Choice A, 19.50%, is incorrect as it does not accurately represent the ratio. Choice C, 25.50%, and Choice D, 31%, are also incorrect calculations of the percentage equivalent of the ratio 13:60.

3. Ratio and proportion: 6:10=24:x

• A. 40
• B. 25
• C. 240
• D. 4

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve for x, use cross-multiplication: 6x = 10 x 24 6x = 240 Now, divide both sides by 6 to find x: x = 240 / 6 = 40 Therefore, the correct answer is A. 40. Choice B, 25, is incorrect because it does not satisfy the proportion. Choice C, 240, is incorrect because it represents the value that is given in the proportion and not the value of x. Choice D, 4, is incorrect as it does not align with the correct calculation for x.

4. Add and simplify: 4⅔ + 6½ =

• A. 11⅙
• B. 10⅓
• C. 9⅙
• D. 9

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To add 4⅔ and 6½, we first need to convert the fractions to have the same denominator. Converting 4⅔ to 6ths gives us 8/6, and 6½ to 6ths gives us 7/2. Adding them together gives 15/2, which simplifies to 7½ or 9⅙. Therefore, the correct answer is 9⅙. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct sum of the fractions after conversion and simplification.

5. What is the result of the addition: 34 + 4 + 234?

• A. 70.2
• B. 230.72
• C. 234.74
• D. 272

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Adding the given numbers together: 34 + 4 + 234 = 272. The correct sum is 272. Choice A, 70.2, is incorrect as it does not reflect the accurate addition of the numbers. Choice B, 230.72, is incorrect as well. Choice C, 234.74, is also incorrect since the correct sum is 272, not 234.74.
