1. Divide: 92 ÷ 11 =

• A. 8 r3
• B. 8 r4
• C. 8 r7
• D. 9 r1

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To divide 92 by 11, you get 8 as the whole number part of the quotient. The remainder is 4, so the correct answer is 8 r4. Choice A, 8 r3, is incorrect because the remainder is 4, not 3. Choice C, 8 r7, is incorrect as the remainder cannot be greater than the divisor. Choice D, 9 r1, is incorrect as the whole number part of the quotient is 8, not 9.

2. Subtract and simplify: 8¼ − 1½.

• A. 4¼
• B. 6¾
• C. 6â…ž
• D. 7¼

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To subtract mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions. 8¼ = 33/4 and 1½ = 3/2. Subtracting, we get 33/4 - 3/2 = 33/4 - 6/4 = 27/4 = 6¾, which simplifies to 4¼. Therefore, the correct answer is 4¼. Choice B is incorrect as it represents the intermediate step of 6¾ before simplification. Choice C is incorrect as it is the result of the subtraction but not simplified. Choice D is incorrect as it is the original mixed number 7¼, not the simplified result.

3. 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.

4. Subtract 32 divided by 8\9.

• A. 36
• B. 32
• C. 40
• D. 44

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 32 ÷ (8\9) is the same as 32 × (9\8) = 36.

5. A clinic sees an average of 25 patients every 4 hours. If the clinic is open for 8 hours, how many patients will they see in total?

• A. 35
• B. 50
• C. 75
• D. 200

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: 1. First, determine how many patients the clinic sees in one hour: 25 patients / 4 hours = 6.25 patients per hour (approximately 6 patients per hour) 2. Since the clinic is open for 8 hours, multiply the number of patients seen per hour by the number of hours the clinic is open: 6.25 patients/hour * 8 hours = 50 patients 3. Therefore, the clinic will see a total of 50 patients in 8 hours, which corresponds to answer choice D) 200.
