1. Find the area in square centimeters of a circle with a diameter of 16 centimeters. Use 3.14 for π.

• A. 25.12
• B. 50.24
• C. 100.48
• D. 200.96

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The formula for the area of a circle is: Area = π x (radius²). Given: Diameter = 16 cm, so Radius = Diameter / 2 = 16 / 2 = 8 cm. Now, calculate the area using π = 3.14: Area = 3.14 x (8²) = 3.14 x 64 = 200.96 cm². The correct answer is D (200.96 cm²) as it correctly calculates the area of the circle. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the accurate area of the circle based on the given diameter and π value.

2. Divide 52 by 27 and 51 by 27 and simplify.

• A. 52/27
• B. 51/27
• C. 52/29
• D. 51/29

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To divide 52 by 27 and 51 by 27, you get 52/27 and 51/27, respectively. When simplified, 52/27 is the correct answer. The other choices, 51/27, 52/29, and 51/29, are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct result of dividing the given numbers.

3. Four more than a number is 2 less than 5\6 of another number. Which equation represents this?

• A. x + 4 = 5\6y - 2
• B. x + 4 = 2 - 5\6y
• C. 4 + x = 5\6y + 2
• D. x + 4 = 5\6y - 2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The equation that represents the relationship is x + 4 = 5\6y - 2.

4. In the problem 6 + 3 × 2, which operation should be completed first?

• A. Multiplication
• B. Addition
• C. Division
• D. Subtraction

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Multiplication.' According to the order of operations (PEMDAS), which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right), multiplication should be completed first. In the given expression, 3 × 2 should be solved before adding 6 to the result. This means that the multiplication operation should be prioritized over addition. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because, in the order of operations, multiplication takes precedence over addition, division, and subtraction, respectively.

5. What is the percentage equivalent of 0.0016?

• A. 16%
• B. 160%
• C. 1.60%
• D. 0.16%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percentage, you multiply by 100. Therefore, to find the percentage equivalent of 0.0016, you would multiply 0.0016 by 100 to get 0.16%. This means that choice D, '0.16%', is the correct answer. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not correctly represent the percentage equivalent of 0.0016.
