1. If Andy runs five times as long as Jake, and Jake runs 24.5 miles each week, how many miles does Andy run in a day?

• A. 17.5
• B. 17.7
• C. 16.5
• D. 18.2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find how many miles Andy runs in a day, we need to calculate the distance Andy runs in a week. Since Andy runs five times as long as Jake, Andy runs 5 * 24.5 = 122.5 miles per week. To convert this to miles per day, we divide by 7 (days in a week): 122.5 / 7 = 17.5 miles per day. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the calculation based on the given ratio.

2. What is the result of dividing 40.3 by 4.8?

• A. 7.5
• B. 8.4
• C. 6.2
• D. 9.1

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To divide 40.3 by 4.8, you perform the calculation: 40.3 ÷ 4.8 ≈ 8.4. Therefore, the correct answer is 8.4. Choice A (7.5) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing 40.3 by 5.4. Choice C (6.2) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing 40.3 by 6.5. Choice D (9.1) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing 40.3 by 4.4.

3. Convert the decimal to a percent: 0.000026

• A. 0.0026%
• B. 0.026%
• C. 2.6%
• D. 26%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percent, you multiply by 100. In this case, 0.000026 * 100 = 0.0026%. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 0.0026%. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they incorrectly place the decimal point, resulting in percentages that are too large.

4. Find the value of x in the ratio and proportion 18:x=10:300.

• A. 16
• B. 180
• C. 30
• D. 540

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the value of x, cross multiply in the ratio 18:x=10:300. This gives 18 * 300 = 10 * x. Solving for x, x = 540. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A (16), Choice B (180), and Choice C (30) are incorrect because they do not satisfy the proportion equation 18:x=10:300 when cross multiplied.

5. What percent of 36 is 9?

• A. 25%
• B. 20%
• C. 15%
• D. 10%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find out what percent 9 is of 36, divide 9 by 36 and multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage. So, (9/36) * 100 = 25%. This indicates that 9 is 25% of 36, not 10%. Choice A, 25%, is the result of calculating what percent 36 is of 9, not the other way around. Choices B and C are incorrect as they do not align with the calculated percentage.
