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. What is the result of dividing 2,032 by 25?

• A. 91 r3
• B. 81 r28
• C. 81 r7
• D. 9 r3

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When dividing 2,032 by 25, you find that 25 goes into 2,032 a total of 81 times without exceeding it. The remainder is 7, not 28 as stated in choice B. This is because 25 * 81 = 2,025, leaving a difference of 7, not 28. Choice A and D are incorrect because they do not correctly represent the division result of 2,032 by 25.

3. If the total cost of his purchase was $9.38 and he gave the cashier $20, how much change did he receive?

• A. $0.62
• B. $5.02
• C. $9.38
• D. $10.62

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To determine the amount of change received, you need to subtract the total cost from the amount given. $20 - $9.38 = $10.62. Therefore, he received $10.62 in change. Option A ($0.62) is incorrect as it is the difference in cents, not dollars. Option B ($5.02) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct subtraction. Option C ($9.38) is incorrect as it represents the total cost of the purchase, not the change received.

4. How many milligrams are in 3.4 grams?

• A. 340 mg
• B. 3,400 mg
• C. 34,000 mg
• D. 3400 mg

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1,000 because there are 1,000 milligrams in 1 gram. Therefore, to find out how many milligrams are in 3.4 grams, you multiply 3.4 by 1,000 which equals 3,400 mg. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert grams to milligrams.

5. Stewart has 56 acres of land. He wants to divide the land into plots of 0.25 acres. How many plots of land will Stewart have after he divides the 56 acres?

• A. 224 plots
• B. 220 plots
• C. 210 plots
• D. 230 plots

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the number of plots, divide 56 acres by 0.25 acres per plot: 56 ÷ 0.25 = 224 plots. Therefore, Stewart will have 224 plots of land after dividing the 56 acres. The correct answer is A because dividing 56 acres by 0.25 acres per plot gives 224 plots, not 220, 210, or 230 plots.
