1. What is the result of dividing 3 by 4?

• A. 5.75
• B. 5.875
• C. 6.25
• D. 0.75

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To divide 3 by 4, we perform the division operation: 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75. The correct answer is 0.75 (D). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not result from dividing 3 by 4. Choice A (5.75) is the result of dividing 23 by 4, choice B (5.875) is the result of dividing 7 by 1.2, and choice C (6.25) is the result of multiplying 5 by 1.25.

2. Which of the following numbers is a perfect square?

• A. 10
• B. 12
• C. 15
• D. 16

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A perfect square is a number obtained by squaring an integer. In this case, 16 is a perfect square because it is the result of squaring 4 (4 x 4 = 16). The other answer choices, 10, 12, and 15, are not the product of squaring any whole number, making them incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is 16, as it is a perfect square.

3. Reduce 5 & 3/4 divided by 1/2.

• A. 5 & 1/2
• B. 2 & 3/8
• C. 18
• D. 11 & 1/2

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To divide mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions. 5 & 3/4 = 23/4 and 1/2 = 2/1. So, 23/4 ÷ 2/1 = 23/4 * 1/2 = 23/8 = 2 & 7/8. Therefore, 5 & 3/4 divided by 1/2 reduces to 11 & 1/2. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent the correct result of dividing 5 & 3/4 by 1/2.

4. Which of these dates is represented by the Roman numeral MDXVI?

• A. 1106
• B. 1116
• C. 1506
• D. 1516

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The Roman numeral MDXVI translates to 1516 in Arabic numerals. The Roman numeral 'M' represents 1000, 'D' represents 500, 'X' represents 10, and 'VI' represents 6, which adds up to 1516. Therefore, the correct answer is 1516. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not match the Roman numeral MDXVI.

5. Louise wins $25 in a raffle at the fair. She spends $50 on an apple pie and $25 on lemonade. How much of her winnings does she take home?

• A. $12.75
• B. $16.25
• C. $18.25
• D. $19.50

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Louise's total spending is $50 + $25 = $75. To find out how much of her winnings she takes home, we need to subtract her total spending from her winnings: $25 - $75 = -$50. Louise actually loses $50 as she spends more than her winnings. Therefore, she doesn't take home any money and would be in debt by $50. The correct answer is $25 - $75 = -$50, indicating that she does not take home any winnings and is in a deficit.
