1. In the time required to serve 43 customers, a server breaks 2 glasses and slips 5 times. The next day, the same server breaks 10 glasses. How many customers did she serve?
- A. 25
- B. 43
- C. 86
- D. 215
Correct answer: C
Rationale: In the first scenario, for 43 customers served, the server broke 2 glasses and slipped 5 times. This means for each customer served, the server broke 2/43 glasses and slipped 5/43 times. The information about breaking 10 glasses the next day is irrelevant to the number of customers served. Therefore, to find out the total number of customers served, we calculate 43 customers * (2 glasses/customer + 5 slips/customer) = 86. Choice A, 25, is incorrect as it does not consider the total number of glasses broken or slips. Choice B, 43, is incorrect because it only considers the initial number of customers. Choice D, 215, is incorrect as it miscalculates the relationship between customers, glasses broken, and slips.
2. What is 2/3 of 60 + 1/5 of 75?
- A. 45
- B. 55
- C. 15
- D. 50
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To solve the expression, first calculate 2/3 of 60 by multiplying 60 by 2/3, which equals 40. Then, calculate 1/5 of 75 by multiplying 75 by 1/5, which equals 15. Finally, add these results together: 40 + 15 = 55. Therefore, the correct answer is 55. Choice A (45) is incorrect because it seems to be the sum of the two fractions, not their individual calculations. Choice C (15) is incorrect because it only represents 1/5 of 75. Choice D (50) is incorrect as it might be a miscalculation of the sum of the two fractions.
3. What is the result of dividing 4 7/8 by 1 1/6?
- A. 4 5/28
- B. 4 7/8
- C. 5 8/14
- D. 5 3/28
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To divide mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions and then multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. Here, 4 7/8 = 39/8 and 1 1/6 = 7/6. Dividing 39/8 by 7/6 gives 39/8 ÷ 7/6 = 39/8 * 6/7 = 234/56 = 4 5/28. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct result of dividing 4 7/8 by 1 1/6.
4. What is 70% of 110?
- A. 77
- B. 79
- C. 81
- D. 83
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find 70% of 110, you need to multiply 110 by 0.7. Therefore, 110 * 0.7 = 77. The correct answer is 81, not 77. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they are not the product of multiplying 110 by 0.7, which is the correct method for finding 70% of 110.
5. Compare: 0.045 is _____ to 0.054.
- A. Greater than
- B. Less than
- C. Less than or equal to
- D. Equal
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. When comparing 0.045 and 0.054, 0.045 is less than 0.054. Therefore, the correct relation is 'Less than.' Choice A ('Greater than') is incorrect because 0.045 is not greater than 0.054. Choice C ('Less than or equal to') is incorrect because 0.045 is strictly less than 0.054, not less than or equal to. Choice D ('Equal') is incorrect because 0.045 and 0.054 are not equal.
