1. Edie has 132 tulip bulbs. She wants to plant all of the tulip bulbs in 12 rows. How many bulbs should she plant in each row?

• A. 11 bulbs
• B. 10 bulbs
• C. 12 bulbs
• D. 15 bulbs

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To plant 132 bulbs in 12 rows, Edie should plant 11 bulbs in each row. This is calculated by dividing the total number of bulbs by the number of rows: 132 bulbs ÷ 12 rows = 11 bulbs per row. Choice B, 10 bulbs, is incorrect because dividing 132 bulbs by 12 rows does not equal 10. Choice C, 12 bulbs, is incorrect because if Edie plants 12 bulbs in each row, the total number of bulbs planted would exceed 132. Choice D, 15 bulbs, is incorrect as dividing 132 bulbs by 12 rows does not result in 15 bulbs per row.

2. What is 2/3 of 60 + 1/5 of 75?

• A. 45
• B. 55
• C. 15
• D. 50

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To solve the expression, first calculate 2/3 of 60 by multiplying 60 by 2/3, which equals 40. Then, calculate 1/5 of 75 by multiplying 75 by 1/5, which equals 15. Finally, add these results together: 40 + 15 = 55. Therefore, the correct answer is 55. Choice A (45) is incorrect because it seems to be the sum of the two fractions, not their individual calculations. Choice C (15) is incorrect because it only represents 1/5 of 75. Choice D (50) is incorrect as it might be a miscalculation of the sum of the two fractions.

3. Add 2/3 + 4/9.

• A. 8/15
• B. 1
• C. 10/9
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To add the fractions, first find a common denominator. The least common denominator between 3 and 9 is 9. Convert 2/3 to 6/9 then add 6/9 + 4/9: = 10/9

4. Ratio and proportion 1.2:x=14:42.

• A. 2
• B. 0
• C. 1
• D. 3

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Cross-multiply to solve for 𝑥 x: 1.2 × 42 = 14 𝑥 1.2×42=14x 50.4 = 14 𝑥 50.4=14x 𝑥 = 50.4 14 = 3.6 x= 14 50.4 ​ =3.6

5. How many pounds are in 160 ounces?

• A. 10 pounds
• B. 8 pounds
• C. 5 pounds
• D. 12 pounds

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 10 pounds. There are 16 ounces in a pound. To convert 160 ounces to pounds, you need to divide 160 by 16, which equals 10 pounds. Choice B, 8 pounds, is incorrect because it does not account for the correct conversion factor. Choice C, 5 pounds, is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 160 by 16. Choice D, 12 pounds, is incorrect as it overestimates the conversion.
