1. Express 0.75 as a fraction.

• A. 4/5
• B. 3/4
• C. 1/2
• D. 1/4

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To express 0.75 as a fraction, we write it as 75/100. Simplifying this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 25 gives us 3/4. Therefore, 0.75 is equivalent to 3/4. Choice A (4/5), Choice C (1/2), and Choice D (1/4) are incorrect fractions and do not represent 0.75.

2. Which number is the highest among 0.077, 0.777, 0.08, and 0.87?

• A. 0.077
• B. 0.777
• C. 0.08
• D. 0.87

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To determine the highest number among 0.077, 0.777, 0.08, and 0.87, we compare the numbers. 0.87 is greater than 0.777, 0.08, and 0.077, making it the highest number. Choice A (0.077), Choice B (0.777), and Choice C (0.08) are lower numbers compared to 0.87, so they are incorrect.

3. A hospital receives a shipment of vitamin tablets. The hospital ordered 6,000 tablets, but the shipment included 1/5 more tablets than the hospital ordered. How many tablets were in the shipment?

• A. 7,200 tablets
• B. 5,000 tablets
• C. 6,500 tablets
• D. 8,000 tablets

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total tablets in the shipment, first, calculate 1/5 of 6,000: 6,000 * 1/5 = 1,200. Add this to the original order: 6,000 + 1,200 = 7,200 tablets. Therefore, the shipment included 7,200 tablets. Choice B, 5,000 tablets, is incorrect because it does not account for the additional 1/5 of the original order. Choice C, 6,500 tablets, is incorrect as it only considers the original order and not the extra tablets. Choice D, 8,000 tablets, is incorrect as it overestimates the total by not considering the 1/5 more tablets included in the shipment.

4. Stanton runs 2 miles twice a week and 3 miles once a week. If he runs every week, how many miles does he run in a year?

• A. 185
• B. 260
• C. 330
• D. 364

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To calculate how many miles Stanton runs in a year, we first find out how many miles he runs in a week. Running 2 miles twice a week is 2 x 2 = 4 miles, and running 3 miles once a week is an additional 3 miles. Therefore, in a week, Stanton runs a total of 4 + 3 = 7 miles. To find out how many miles he runs in a year, we multiply the weekly total by the number of weeks in a year (52): 7 miles/week x 52 weeks = 364 miles. Therefore, Stanton runs 364 miles in a year. Choice A (185) is incorrect as it does not account for the total weekly distance correctly. Choice B (260) is incorrect as it miscalculates the total miles run in a year. Choice C (330) is incorrect as it does not calculate the correct total distance covered by Stanton in a year.

5. Olivia’s Bakery gives out one extra cupcake for each dozen sold, to make a “baker’s dozen” of 13 in all. How many extra cupcakes does the bakery add to a special order of 180 cupcakes?

• A. 12
• B. 13
• C. 14
• D. 15

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Olivia’s Bakery gives out one extra cupcake for each dozen sold. For a special order of 180 cupcakes, there would be 180 cupcakes ÷ 12 cupcakes per dozen = 15 dozens. Therefore, the bakery adds 15 extra cupcakes to make a 'baker's dozen' of 13 in all for each dozen, resulting in a total of 15 extra cupcakes added to the special order. The correct answer is 13 (choice B) because the bakery adds one extra cupcake to each dozen, making a 'baker's dozen' of 13.
