1. How many milliliters are there in 3.2 liters?

• A. 0.32
• B. 32
• C. 3200
• D. 320

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to know that 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters. Therefore, 3.2 liters is equivalent to 3.2 x 1000 = 3200 milliliters. Choice A (0.32) is incorrect as it incorrectly moves the decimal point. Choice B (32) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the conversion factor between liters and milliliters. Choice D (320) is incorrect as it is a partial conversion error, missing a zero at the end.

2. Chan receives a bonus from his job. He pays 30% in taxes, donates 30% to charity, and uses another 25% to pay off an old debt. He has $600 remaining. What was the total amount of Chan's bonus?

• A. $3,000
• B. $3,200
• C. $3,600
• D. $4,000

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Chan has used 30% + 30% + 25% = 85% of his bonus, which leaves 15% remaining. Since 15% of his bonus is $600, you can find the total bonus amount by dividing $600 by 15% (or multiplying by 100/15), which equals $4,000. Therefore, the correct answer is $4,000. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the total remaining amount after the specified deductions.

3. If a product's original price is $80 and it is discounted by 20%, what is the final price?

• A. 64
• B. 60
• C. 70
• D. 66

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the discounted price, you first calculate 20% of the original price: 20% of $80 is $16. Subtracting this discount amount from the original price gives the final price: $80 - $16 = $64. Therefore, the final price after a 20% discount on a product originally priced at $80 is $64. Choice B, $60, is incorrect because it does not account for the correct discount amount. Choice C, $70, is incorrect as it does not reflect the reduction due to the 20% discount. Choice D, $66, is incorrect as it miscalculates the discounted price.

4. An athlete runs 5 miles in 25 minutes and then changes pace to run the next 3 miles in 15 minutes. Overall, what is the average time in minutes it takes the athlete to run 1 mile?

• A. 7 minutes
• B. 5 minutes
• C. 6.5 minutes
• D. 8.5 minutes

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the average time per mile, add the total time taken to cover all miles and then divide by the total miles run. The athlete ran 5 miles in 25 minutes and 3 miles in 15 minutes, totaling 8 miles in 40 minutes. Therefore, the average time per mile is 40 minutes ÷ 8 miles = 5 minutes. Choice A, 7 minutes, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct average time per mile. Choice C, 6.5 minutes, is incorrect since the calculation is not based on the given information. Choice D, 8.5 minutes, is incorrect as it does not represent the average time per mile for the entire run.

5. What is the value of 0.0523 expressed as a fraction?

• A. 523/10000
• B. 523/1000
• C. 523/100
• D. 523/10

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a fraction, place the decimal value over the place value of the last digit. In this case, 0.0523 can be expressed as 523/10000 since the last digit is in the ten-thousandths place. Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they represent different decimal values and do not match the correct conversion of 0.0523.
