1. Erin has 6.25 peach pies. She gives Rose 3.75 of the peach pies. How many pies does Erin have left?

• A. 2 peach pies
• B. 3 peach pies
• C. 1 peach pie
• D. 2 peach pies

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find how many pies Erin has left, subtract 3.75 from 6.25: 6.25 - 3.75 = 2.5 peach pies. Erin has 2.5 peach pies left, which rounds down to 2 pies, making choice A the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct subtraction result.

2. What is the result of dividing 40.3 by 4.8?

• A. 7.5
• B. 8.4
• C. 6.2
• D. 9.1

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To divide 40.3 by 4.8, you perform the calculation: 40.3 ÷ 4.8 ≈ 8.4. Therefore, the correct answer is 8.4. Choice A (7.5) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing 40.3 by 5.4. Choice C (6.2) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing 40.3 by 6.5. Choice D (9.1) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing 40.3 by 4.4.

3. A nurse works in the military hospital from 1300 to 2000. How many hours does this nurse work?

• A. 8 hours
• B. 11 hours
• C. 7 hours
• D. 12 hours

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The nurse works from 1300 to 2000, which is a 7-hour period. To calculate the hours worked, subtract the start time from the end time: 2000 - 1300 = 700, which is equal to 7 hours. Choice A, 8 hours, is incorrect as it does not reflect the actual duration. Choice B, 11 hours, is incorrect as it overestimates the hours worked. Choice D, 12 hours, is incorrect as it is also an overestimation of the hours worked.

4. What is the volume of a birthday party hat with a cone-shaped top having a radius of 5cm and a height of 12cm?

• A. 60 cu cm
• B. 120 cu cm
• C. 150 cu cm
• D. 180 cu cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the volume of a cone, we use the formula: (1/3) * π * (radius)^2 * height. Substituting the given values: (1/3) * π * (5cm)^2 * 12cm = 150 cu cm. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation using the formula for the volume of a cone.

5. Jenny lost 3.2 lbs each month for 6 months. How much weight has Jenny lost?

• A. 19.2 lbs
• B. 15 lbs
• C. 20 lbs
• D. 18 lbs

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine how much weight Jenny has lost, you need to multiply the weight lost per month (3.2 lbs) by the number of months (6). 3.2 lbs x 6 = 19.2 lbs. Therefore, Jenny has lost a total of 19.2 lbs. Choice B (15 lbs) is incorrect because it does not account for the total weight lost over the 6 months. Choice C (20 lbs) is incorrect as it overestimates the total weight lost. Choice D (18 lbs) is incorrect as it underestimates the total weight lost.
