1. Multiply 12 by 15 and express the result as a decimal:

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the product of 12 and 15, you simply multiply them together. 12 multiplied by 15 equals 180. To express 180 as a decimal, you divide by 100. Therefore, the correct answer is 1.8. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they represent values that are not the correct result of multiplying 12 by 15 and converting it to a decimal.

2. After putting â…“ aside for her share of rent and utilities and spending $75 on groceries, what is left from her weekly paycheck?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: If she puts aside 1/3 of her paycheck for rent and utilities, this means she spends 3 portions in total. So, 1 portion represents 1/3 of the paycheck. Since she spends $75 on groceries, it leaves 2 portions. The total amount of 3 portions is the paycheck. To find out one portion, divide the total paycheck by 3: Paycheck = 3 portions. $75 is one portion. Multiply the one portion by 3 to find the total paycheck: $75 * 3 = $225. Subtract the spent amount from the weekly paycheck: $225 - $75 = $150. Therefore, the amount left from her weekly paycheck is $150. The other choices are incorrect because they do not follow the correct calculation based on the given information.

3. How many pints are there in 4 quarts?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert quarts to pints, we know that 1 quart is equivalent to 2 pints. Therefore, to find out how many pints are in 4 quarts, we multiply 2 pints by 4, which equals 8 pints. Hence, the correct answer is 8 pints. Choice A (2 pints) is incorrect because it represents the conversion of 1 quart, not 4 quarts. Choice C (16 pints) and Choice D (32 pints) are incorrect as they miscalculate the conversion by not considering the correct conversion factor of 2 pints per quart.

4. At the book sale, Geoff paid 35 cents apiece for 5 paperbacks and $50 apiece for 3 hardcover books. He gave the clerk a $10 bill. How much change did he receive?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Geoff paid a total of 5 paperbacks x $0.35/paperback + 3 hardcover books x $50/hardcover book = $1.75 + $150 = $8.75. Since he gave the clerk a $10 bill, he received $10 - $8.75 = $1.25 change. However, since the options are in increments of $0.25, the closest amount is $0.75, so Geoff received $0.75 change. Option A is incorrect because it's not the closest amount to the actual change. Option C is incorrect as it represents the total change Geoff received, not the closest increment. Option D is incorrect as it overestimates the change Geoff received.

5. Multiply: 3/4 × 1/3.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. In this case, 3/4 × 1/3 = (3 × 1) / (4 × 3) = 3/12 = 1/4. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 1/4. Choices B (1/3), C (3/5), and D (3/8) are incorrect because they do not result from the correct multiplication of the given fractions.
