1. In the number 743.25, which digit represents the tenths place?

• A. 3
• B. 4
• C. 2
• D. 5

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In the number 743.25, the tenths place is the first digit to the right of the decimal point, which is 2. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (3) represents the hundredths place, choice B (4) represents the units place, and choice D (5) represents the hundredths place.

2. If his distribution cost is $10, what will be his profit?

• A. $10.40
• B. $19.60
• C. $14.90
• D. $23.40

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate profit, we subtract the total distribution cost from the revenue. Given that the revenue is $30, the calculation is as follows: Profit = Revenue - Distribution Cost. Therefore, Profit = $30 - $10 = $20. Hence, the profit will be $19.60. Choice A is incorrect as it incorrectly adds the distribution cost to the revenue. Choice C is incorrect as it does not consider the distribution cost. Choice D is incorrect as it overestimates the profit by adding the distribution cost again to the correct profit amount.

3. How many yards are in a mile?

• A. 1,760
• B. 1,700
• C. 1,800
• D. 1,750

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1,760. According to the standard distance conversion, there are 1,760 yards in a mile. This conversion is widely accepted and used in various fields. Choice B, 1,700, is incorrect as it does not correspond to the standard conversion. Choice C, 1,800, represents a different value and is therefore incorrect. Choice D, 1,750, is not the accurate conversion for yards in a mile and is incorrect.

4. Karen goes to the grocery store with $40. She buys a carton of milk for $1.85, a loaf of bread for $3.20, and a bunch of bananas for $3.05. How much money does she have left?

• A. $30.95
• B. $31.90
• C. $32.10
• D. $34.95

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine how much money Karen has left, we first calculate the total cost of the items she bought: $1.85 + $3.20 + $3.05 = $8.10. Subtracting this total cost from the initial amount she had, $40 - $8.10 = $31.90 left. Choice A, $30.95, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct amount left after subtracting the total cost. Choice C, $32.10, is incorrect as it is the total cost of the items she bought, not the amount left. Choice D, $34.95, is incorrect as it does not consider the expenses incurred and subtracted from the initial amount.

5. How many millimeters are in 4 meters?

• A. 400 mm
• B. 4000 mm
• C. 40 mm
• D. 100 mm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert meters to millimeters, you need to know that there are 1000 millimeters in 1 meter. Therefore, to find out how many millimeters are in 4 meters, you multiply 4 (meters) by 1000 (millimeters per meter), which equals 4000 millimeters. Choice A, 400 mm, is incorrect because it represents 4 decimeters, not 4 meters. Choice C, 40 mm, is incorrect because it represents 4 centimeters, not 4 meters. Choice D, 100 mm, is incorrect because it represents 1 meter, not 4 meters.
