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. 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. Repeating decimals can be expressed as fractions. Which of the following represents the decimal 0.7777... as a fraction?

• A. 77/1000
• B. 70/99
• C. 777/900
• D. 7/9

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To express the repeating decimal 0.7777... as a fraction, let x = 0.7777... Multiplying both sides by 10 to shift the decimal point to the right gives: 10x = 7.7777... Subtracting the original equation from the new equation eliminates the repeating decimal: 10x - x = 7.7777... - 0.7777... 9x = 7 x = 7/9. Therefore, the decimal 0.7777... can be expressed as the fraction 7/9. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the decimal 0.7777... when converted to a fraction.

4. What is three tenths of 90?

• A. 18
• B. 45
• C. 27
• D. 36

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find three tenths of 90, you need to multiply 90 by 0.3 (since three tenths equals 0.3). Therefore, 90 * 0.3 = 27. This calculation shows that the correct answer is 27. Choice A (18), choice B (45), and choice D (36) are incorrect as they do not represent three tenths of 90.

5. How many centimeters are there in 1 foot?

• A. 4.72 centimeters
• B. 10 centimeters
• C. 25.4 centimeters
• D. 30.48 centimeters

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert feet to centimeters, you need to consider that there are 2.54 centimeters in an inch. Since a foot is equal to 12 inches, you multiply 12 inches by 2.54 to get 30.48 centimeters. Therefore, there are 30.48 centimeters in 1 foot. Choice A (4.72 centimeters) is incorrect as it does not use the correct conversion factor. Choice B (10 centimeters) is incorrect as it is not the accurate conversion for 1 foot. Choice C (25.4 centimeters) is incorrect as it corresponds to 10 inches, not 1 foot.
