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. What number is 6 equal to 15% of?

• A. 0.9
• B. 40
• C. 80
• D. 90

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the number that 6 is equal to 15% of, we set up the equation 0.15x = 6, where x is the unknown number. To solve for x, we divide 6 by 0.15, which gives us x = 40. Therefore, 6 is equal to 15% of the number 40. Choice A (0.9) is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 6 by 0.15. Choices C (80) and D (90) are incorrect as they do not satisfy the equation 0.15x = 6.

3. A patient needs to increase his calcium intake. If each tablet contains 500 mg of calcium and the patient needs to take 1,500 mg per day, how many tablets should the patient take?

• A. 3 tablets
• B. 4 tablets
• C. 2 tablets
• D. 5 tablets

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the number of tablets needed, divide the total daily calcium intake required (1,500 mg) by the amount of calcium in each tablet (500 mg). 1,500 mg ÷ 500 mg = 3 tablets. Therefore, the patient should take 3 tablets to meet the 1,500 mg daily intake. Choice B, 4 tablets, is incorrect because it would exceed the required 1,500 mg. Choice C, 2 tablets, is insufficient to meet the daily intake. Choice D, 5 tablets, is also incorrect as it would exceed the required amount.

4. Change the following fraction into a ratio: 19/40

• A. 19:40
• B. 40:19
• C. 19:4
• D. 40:4

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To change a fraction into a ratio, you replace the fraction bar (/) with a colon (:). Therefore, 19/40 as a ratio is written as 19:40. Choice B (40:19) is incorrect as it reverses the order of the numbers. Choice C (19:4) is incorrect as it uses the denominator as the second number, which is not the correct way to represent a ratio. Choice D (40:4) is incorrect as it does not reflect the original fraction accurately.

5. At the fair, Serena sold 6 fewer balloons than Tommy, who sold 2 more balloons than Uri. If Uri sold 28 balloons, how many did Serena sell?

• A. 20
• B. 22
• C. 24
• D. 32

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If Uri sold 28 balloons, Tommy sold 28 + 2 = 30 balloons. Since Serena sold 6 fewer balloons than Tommy, she sold 30 - 6 = 24 balloons. Therefore, Serena sold 24 balloons. Choice A, 20 balloons, is incorrect because it doesn't consider the difference in sales between Serena and Tommy. Choice B, 22 balloons, is incorrect as it doesn't account for the correct relation between Tommy and Serena's sales. Choice D, 32 balloons, is incorrect as it doesn't align with the given information about the sales differences.
