1. Multiply: 2 × 5 =

• A. 0.013
• B. 0.13
• C. 1.3
• D. 10

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When you multiply 2 by 5, the result is 10, not 13. Therefore, the correct answer is 10, which is option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent the correct product of multiplying 2 by 5.

2. 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.

3. If Randy sells 8 times as many vacuum cleaners as Janice, and Janice sells 690 vacuum cleaners per year, on average, how many does Randy sell each month?

• A. 4,600
• B. 5,520
• C. 6,400
• D. 8,320

Correct answer: B

Rationale: If Janice sells 690 vacuum cleaners per year, Randy sells 8 times that amount, which is 690 x 8 = 5,520 vacuum cleaners per year. To find out how many Randy sells each month, you divide 5,520 by 12 (months), which equals 460 vacuum cleaners per month. Therefore, Randy sells 5,520 vacuum cleaners per year divided by 12 months, which equals 460 vacuum cleaners per month. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the information provided.

4. Find x if 40:5 = 60:x.

• A. 12
• B. 7
• C. 1
• D. 8

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find x in the proportion 40:5 = 60:x, set up the equation: 40/5 = 60/x. Cross-multiply to solve for x: 40x = 60 * 5 => 40x = 300. Divide by 40 to isolate x: x = 300 / 40 = 7.5. However, x should be a whole number since it represents a quantity, so x = 7. Therefore, the correct answer is 7 (B). Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not satisfy the proportion equation.

5. What is the temperature in Celsius when it is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit?

• A. 35 Celsius
• B. 37 Celsius
• C. 38 Celsius
• D. 36.5 Celsius

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula (98.6 - 32) × 5/9. By solving this equation, the temperature is calculated to be 37°C. Therefore, the correct answer is B, 37 Celsius. Choice A, 35 Celsius, is incorrect because it is not the outcome of the conversion formula. Choice C, 38 Celsius, is incorrect as well, as it does not match the correct conversion result. Choice D, 36.5 Celsius, is also incorrect as it does not correspond to the accurate conversion from 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
