1. 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.

2. Add: 3 1/8 + 1 1/4.

• A. 4 3/8
• B. 4 1/2
• C. 4 3/4
• D. 5 1/4

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add mixed numbers, first add the fractions: 1/8 + 1/4 = 3/8. Then, add the whole numbers: 3 + 1 = 4. Therefore, 3 1/8 + 1 1/4 = 4 3/8. Choice B (4 1/2) is incorrect because the fractions were not added correctly, leading to an incorrect result. Choice C (4 3/4) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct sum of the two mixed numbers. Choice D (5 1/4) is incorrect as it provides a result that is higher than the correct sum of the mixed numbers.

3. What is the product of multiplying 44.44 by 55.55?

• A. 2,468.64
• B. 2,500.00
• C. 2,450.45
• D. 2,470.00

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When multiplying decimal numbers like 44.44 and 55.55, align them properly and multiply each place accurately. To find the product of 44.44 and 55.55, you get 2,468.64. Therefore, the correct answer is choice A, 2,468.64. Choice B, 2,500.00, is incorrect as it is the result of rounding up. Choice C, 2,450.45, is incorrect as it is not the result of multiplying 44.44 by 55.55. Choice D, 2,470.00, is incorrect as it is not the correct product of 44.44 and 55.55.

4. In Mr. Garcia's class, two-thirds of the students are boys. If there are 27 students in the class, how many of them are girls?

• A. 1
• B. 9
• C. 12
• D. 20

Correct answer: B

Rationale: If two-thirds of the students are boys, then one-third of the students must be girls. One-third of 27 is 9, so there are 9 girls in Mr. Garcia's class. Therefore, the correct answer is 9. Choice A is incorrect because it is too low; only one-third of the students are girls. Choices C and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information in the question.

5. Divide: 11 ÷ 5 =

• A. 1.424
• B. 1.622
• C. 2.2
• D. 2

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To divide 11 by 5, you need to perform the division operation. 11 divided by 5 equals 2.2. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (1.424) and Choice B (1.622) are incorrect as they do not result from the division of 11 by 5. Choice D (2) is close but not accurate, as the exact result of 11 divided by 5 is 2.2.
