1. How will the number 847.89632 be written if rounded to the nearest hundredth?

• A. 847.90
• B. 900
• C. 847.89
• D. 847.896

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When rounding to the nearest hundredth, we look at the digit in the thousandth place, which is 8. Since the next digit, in the ten-thousandth place, is 9 (greater than or equal to 5), we round up the hundredth place digit. Therefore, 847.89632 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 847.90. Choice B (900) is incorrect as it does not round the number to the nearest hundredth. Choice C (847.89) is also incorrect as it drops the digit 6 in the ten-thousandth place. Choice D (847.896) does not round the number to the nearest hundredth as it retains the thousandth place digit 3.

2. What is the sixth number in the sequence 5, 6, 7, 8, 9?

• A. 8
• B. 10
• C. 11
• D. 12

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In the given sequence 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, the sixth number would come after 9, not after the fifth number in the sequence. To find the sixth number, we need to continue the pattern after 9. The next number after 9 would be 10, making it the sixth number in the sequence. Therefore, the correct answer is not listed among the choices provided. Choice A, 8, is the fifth number in the sequence. Choice B, 10, is the number right after the sixth number. Choice D, 12, is not in the sequence at all, making it incorrect. Thus, the correct answer is 11.

3. What is the range in the number of flights the flight attendant made?

• A. 20
• B. 25
• C. 29
• D. 32

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The range is calculated as the difference between the largest and smallest values in a dataset. In this case, the largest number of flights made by the flight attendant in a month was 79, and the smallest number was 54. Therefore, the range is 79 - 54 = 25. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation of the range based on the given data.

4. Two friends get frozen yogurt. The ratio of yogurt to toppings is 4:3. If one of the friends has 4.5 oz of toppings in their bowl, what is the amount of yogurt in their dessert?

• A. 6 oz
• B. 5.5 oz
• C. 3 oz
• D. 3.5 oz

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The ratio 4:3 implies that for every 4 oz of yogurt, there are 3 oz of toppings. To find the amount of yogurt when the friend has 4.5 oz of toppings, we use the proportion: (4/3) × 4.5 = 6 oz. Therefore, the amount of yogurt in their dessert is 6 oz. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given ratio.

5. Complete the following equation: 5 + 3 × 4 - 6 / 2 = ?

• A. 5
• B. 9
• C. 11
• D. 7

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To solve this equation, follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS): First, perform multiplication and division from left to right. 3 × 4 equals 12, and 6 / 2 equals 3. Then, carry out addition and subtraction from left to right. 5 + 12 - 3 equals 14, not 9. Therefore, the correct answer is 14, making choice B the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D can be eliminated as they do not match the correct result obtained by following the order of operations.
