1. Which of the following numbers is the largest? (0.667, 0.68, 0.6, 0.0688)

• A. 0.667
• B. 0.68
• C. 0.6
• D. 0.0688

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine the largest number among the given decimals, compare them. 0.68 is the largest number as it is greater than 0.667, 0.6, and 0.0688. The correct answer is 0.68 because it has the highest value. The other options are smaller: 0.667 is less than 0.68, 0.6 is less than 0.68, and 0.0688 is significantly smaller than 0.68.

2. A train travels at 70 mph for 6 hours. How far did it travel?

• A. 490 miles
• B. 490 miles
• C. 540 miles
• D. 420 miles

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the distance traveled, multiply the speed of 70 mph by the time of 6 hours: 70 mph × 6 hours = 420 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is 420 miles. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not result from the correct calculation.

3. What is 40% of 150?

• A. 60
• B. 65
• C. 70
• D. 85

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 40% of 150, you multiply 150 by 0.40 (which represents 40% in decimal form). This calculation results in 60. Therefore, choice A, 60, is the correct answer. Choice B (65), choice C (70), and choice D (85) are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation for finding 40% of 150.

4. A school has 500 students, and 60% of them are girls. How many girls are there in the school?

• A. 250 girls
• B. 300 girls
• C. 200 girls
• D. 350 girls

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Correct! To find out how many girls are in the school, you need to calculate 60% of 500. 60% of 500 is 0.6 * 500 = 300. Therefore, there are 300 girls in the school. Choice A (250 girls) is incorrect because 60% of 500 is not 250. Choice C (200 girls) is incorrect as it is less than 300. Choice D (350 girls) is incorrect as it is more than 300.

5. Report all decimal places: 3.7 + 7.289 + 4 =

• A. 14.989
• B. 5.226
• C. 15.0
• D. 5.012

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the sum, you add the numbers 3.7, 7.289, and 4 together. 3.7 + 7.289 + 4 equals 14.989. The correct answer is 14.989 because it includes all decimal places from the sum of the numbers provided. Choice B (5.226) is incorrect as it doesn't account for the sum of the given numbers. Choice C (15.0) is incorrect as it rounds the sum to the nearest whole number, losing the decimal precision. Choice D (5.012) is incorrect as it doesn't reflect the correct sum of the decimal numbers.
