1. If a man reads 2 chapters a day and there are 6 pages per chapter in a 798-page book, how long will it take him to finish the book?

• A. 133 days
• B. 399 days
• C. 75 days
• D. 66.5 days

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the total number of chapters, divide the total number of pages by the number of pages per chapter: 798 ÷ 6 = 133 chapters. If he reads 2 chapters a day, it will take him 133 ÷ 2 = 66.5 days to finish the book. Therefore, the correct answer is 66.5 days. Choice A is incorrect because it miscalculates the number of days required. Choices B and C are incorrect as they do not consider the correct calculation based on the given information.

2. Multiply: 2 × 5 =

• A. 0.013
• B. 0.13
• C. 1.3
• D. 10

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When you multiply 2 by 5, the result is 10, not 13. Therefore, the correct answer is 10, which is option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent the correct product of multiplying 2 by 5.

3. The length of a rectangle is twice its width, and its area is equal to the area of a square with 12 cm sides. What will be the perimeter of the rectangle to the nearest whole number?

• A. 36 cm
• B. 46 cm
• C. 51 cm
• D. 56 cm

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Let the width of the rectangle be x cm, and its length be 2x cm. The area of the rectangle is 2x * x = 2x², and the area of the square is 12² = 144 cm². Setting the areas equal gives 2x² = 144. Solving for x gives x = 6. Thus, the width is 6 cm, and the length is 12 cm. The perimeter is 2(6 + 12) = 36 cm. Therefore, the correct answer is 36 cm. Choice B, 46 cm, is incorrect because it does not match the calculated perimeter. Choices C and D are also incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation of the rectangle's perimeter.

4. Express 0.608 as a percent.

• A. 60.8%
• B. 68%
• C. 0%
• D. 6%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percentage, you move the decimal point two places to the right and add a percentage sign. Therefore, 0.608 as a percent is 60.8%. The correct answer is A. Choice B (68%) is incorrect because it represents the percentage for a different decimal value. Choice C (0%) is incorrect as it represents 0 as a percentage, not 0.608. Choice D (6%) is incorrect as it also represents a different decimal value, not 0.608.

5. A clinic sees an average of 25 patients every 4 hours. If the clinic is open for 8 hours, how many patients will they see in total?

• A. 35
• B. 50
• C. 75
• D. 200

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: 1. First, determine how many patients the clinic sees in one hour: 25 patients / 4 hours = 6.25 patients per hour (approximately 6 patients per hour) 2. Since the clinic is open for 8 hours, multiply the number of patients seen per hour by the number of hours the clinic is open: 6.25 patients/hour * 8 hours = 50 patients 3. Therefore, the clinic will see a total of 50 patients in 8 hours, which corresponds to answer choice D) 200.
