1. Multiply: 15 × 52 =

• A. 0.0078
• B. 0.078
• C. 0.78
• D. 7.8

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the product of 15 and 52, you simply multiply them together: 15 x 52 = 780. Therefore, the correct answer is 7.8. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they represent fractions or decimals much smaller than the correct product of 780.

2. A gross is equal to 12 dozen. If Lanyard Farms sells 15 gross of eggs a week and packages them in one dozen egg containers, how many containers do they need for a week’s worth of eggs?

• A. 15
• B. 150
• C. 180
• D. 2,160

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Given that a gross is equal to 12 dozen, 15 gross of eggs would be equal to 15 * 12 = 180 dozen eggs. Since the eggs are packaged in one dozen egg containers, Lanyard Farms would need 180 containers for a week's worth of eggs. Choice A (15) is incorrect as it represents the number of gross, not containers. Choice B (150) is incorrect as it miscalculates the total number of containers needed. Choice D (2,160) is incorrect as it overestimates the number of containers required.

3. What number is 44 equal to 25% of?

• A. 176
• B. 150
• C. 180
• D. 120

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the number, let it be x. The equation is 44 = 0.25 * x. Dividing both sides by 0.25 gives x = 44 / 0.25 = 176. Therefore, 44 is equal to 25% of 176. Choice A is correct because 176 is the number that 44 is equal to 25% of. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not satisfy the equation 44 = 0.25 * x.

4. Subtract 12 - 7 4\5.

• A. 5 1\5
• B. 5 2\5
• C. 4 5\6
• D. 3 1\3

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Subtract the whole numbers and then subtract the fractions: 12 - 7 4\5 = 5 1\5.

5. What is the result of multiplying 10 by 5?

• A. 65
• B. 50
• C. 45
• D. 55

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. To find the result of multiplying 10 by 5, you perform the calculation: 10 × 5 = 50. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the accurate product of 10 multiplied by 5.
