1. In a class of 28 people, there are 12 men and 16 women. What is the ratio of men to women?

• A. 3:4
• B. 4:7
• C. 12:16
• D. 1:2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct ratio of men to women is 3:4. To find the ratio, divide the number of men by the number of women: 12 men / 16 women = 3/4, which simplifies to 3:4. Therefore, in a class of 28 people with 12 men and 16 women, the ratio of men to women is 3:4. Choice B (4:7) is incorrect because it does not accurately reflect the given numbers of men and women in the class. Choice C (12:16) is incorrect as it represents the actual count of men and women, not the ratio. Choice D (1:2) is incorrect as it does not match the proportion of men to women in the class.

2. What is the probability of rolling a 4 on a six-sided die?

• A. 1/2
• B. 1/6
• C. 1/3
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 1/6. When rolling a six-sided die, there is only one outcome that results in a '4' out of a total of six possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Therefore, the probability of rolling a 4 is 1/6. Choice A (1/2) is incorrect as it represents the probability of rolling an even number on a six-sided die, not specifically a '4.' Choice C (1/3) and Choice D (1/2) do not accurately reflect the probability of rolling a '4' on a six-sided die.

3. Gerald can bake 3 dozen cookies in 30 minutes. How long will it take him to bake 12 dozen cookies?

• A. 90 minutes
• B. 1 hour 40 minutes
• C. 2 hours
• D. 4 hours

Correct answer: B

Rationale: If Gerald can bake 3 dozen cookies in 30 minutes, then he can bake 1 dozen cookies in 10 minutes (30 minutes / 3 = 10 minutes). To bake 12 dozen cookies, it would take him 120 minutes (12 dozen x 10 minutes = 120 minutes), which is equivalent to 1 hour and 40 minutes. Choice A (90 minutes) is incorrect because it does not account for the correct proportion of cookies baked. Choice C (2 hours) and Choice D (4 hours) are incorrect as they overestimate the time required based on the given information.

4. A person is laying stones for a garden. They have 1,200 stones. Each stone covers an area of 0.75 square feet. What is the total area that the stones will cover?

• A. 800 sq ft
• B. 750 sq ft
• C. 900 sq ft
• D. 950 sq ft

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total area covered by the stones, multiply the number of stones by the area each stone covers: 1,200 stones * 0.75 sq ft = 900 sq ft. Therefore, the stones will cover 900 sq ft, which is closest to 800 sq ft among the answer choices A, B, C, and D. The correct answer is A, 800 sq ft. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not result from the correct calculation of multiplying the number of stones by the area each stone covers.

5. What is the result of 32 divided by 8/9?

• A. 4 & 1/9
• B. 4
• C. 36
• D. 28 & 4/9

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal. Therefore, dividing 32 by 8/9 is the same as multiplying 32 by 9/8, which equals 36. The correct answer is C. Choice A, 4 & 1/9, is incorrect because the result is a whole number. Choice B, 4, is incorrect as it does not consider the fraction. Choice D, 28 & 4/9, is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 32 by 8/9.
