1. In your class, there are 48 students; 32 students are female. Approximately what percentage are male?

• A. 33%
• B. 66%
• C. 25%
• D. 45%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In a class of 48 students, with 32 being female, the number of male students is 48 - 32 = 16. To calculate the percentage of male students, divide the number of male students (16) by the total number of students (48) and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage: (16 / 48) * 100 = 33%. Therefore, approximately 33% of the students in the class are male. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information.

2. Multiply: 25 × 4 = and express the result in decimal form.

• A. 0.01
• B. 0.1
• C. 1
• D. 10

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To multiply 25 by 4, you get 100. To express the result in decimal form, you divide by 100. Therefore, the result is 1. Choice A (0.01) is incorrect as it represents 1/100, not the result of 25 × 4. Choice B (0.1) is incorrect as it represents 1/10. Choice D (10) is incorrect as it is the result before converting it to decimal form.

3. If 3 books cost $4, how much will 6 books cost?

• A. $8
• B. $12
• C. $6
• D. $10

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the cost of 1 book, divide the total cost by the number of books: $4 / 3 = $1.33 per book. To determine the cost of 6 books, multiply the cost per book by 6: $1.33 * 6 = $8. Therefore, purchasing 6 books will cost $8. Choice B, $12, is incorrect as it incorrectly doubles the cost of 3 books. Choice C, $6, is incorrect as it is half the cost of 3 books. Choice D, $10, is incorrect as it does not accurately calculate the cost of 6 books based on the given information.

4. If two workers can finish building a play set in 18 hours, how long will it take 4 workers to build 3 play sets?

• A. 27 hours
• B. 36 hours
• C. 24 hours
• D. 54 hours

Correct answer: A

Rationale: If 2 workers can complete building one play set in 18 hours, it means one worker would take 36 hours to complete the same task. When the number of workers is doubled to 4, the time is halved, so 4 workers would take 18 hours to build one play set. To build 3 play sets, the total time needed would be 3 times the time for one play set, which equals 54 hours. Therefore, 4 workers can build 3 play sets in 27 hours, making choice A the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not account for the correct relationship between the number of workers and the time required to complete the task.

5. Sarah had 1 quart of milk. How many ounces of milk is that?

• A. 16 ounces
• B. 24 ounces
• C. 32 ounces
• D. 48 ounces

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 32 ounces. One quart is equivalent to 32 ounces. To convert quarts to ounces, you need to know that 1 quart equals 32 ounces. Therefore, 1 quart of milk is equal to 32 ounces. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately convert 1 quart to ounces.
