1. How many yards are in a mile?

• A. 1,760
• B. 1,700
• C. 1,800
• D. 1,750

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1,760. According to the standard distance conversion, there are 1,760 yards in a mile. This conversion is widely accepted and used in various fields. Choice B, 1,700, is incorrect as it does not correspond to the standard conversion. Choice C, 1,800, represents a different value and is therefore incorrect. Choice D, 1,750, is not the accurate conversion for yards in a mile and is incorrect.

2. 4 7/8 divided by 1 1/6 equals what?

• A. 4 & 6/8
• B. 4 & 7/8
• C. 5 & 8/14
• D. 4 & 5/28

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To divide 4,7/8 by 1,1/6: Convert to improper fractions: 4,7/8 = 39/8 1,1/6 = 7/6 Divide by multiplying by the reciprocal: 39/8 × 6/7 = 234/56 Simplify: 234/56 = 117/28 or 4,5/28

3. What is 60% of 90?

• A. 54
• B. 58
• C. 60
• D. 65

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 60% of 90, you multiply 90 by 0.60 (which is the decimal form of 60%). So, 90 * 0.60 = 54. Therefore, 60% of 90 is 54. Choice A is correct. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation for finding 60% of 90.

4. How many millimeters are in 4 meters?

• A. 400 mm
• B. 4000 mm
• C. 40 mm
• D. 100 mm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert meters to millimeters, you need to know that there are 1000 millimeters in 1 meter. Therefore, to find out how many millimeters are in 4 meters, you multiply 4 (meters) by 1000 (millimeters per meter), which equals 4000 millimeters. Choice A, 400 mm, is incorrect because it represents 4 decimeters, not 4 meters. Choice C, 40 mm, is incorrect because it represents 4 centimeters, not 4 meters. Choice D, 100 mm, is incorrect because it represents 1 meter, not 4 meters.

5. A female ran a 24-mile course. Her first 6 miles took 1 hour, the second set of 6 miles took 1.2 hours, the third set of 6 miles took 1.5 hours, and the fourth set of 6 miles took 1.6 hours. How long did it take her to complete the course?

• A. 5.3 hours
• B. 4.5 hours
• C. 6 hours
• D. 7 hours

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total time taken, add the time for each segment: 1 hour + 1.2 hours + 1.5 hours + 1.6 hours = 5.3 hours. Therefore, it took her 5.3 hours to complete the course. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the cumulative time calculated based on the given information.
