1. Multiply: 32 × 5 and express the result in decimal form.

• A. 0.0016
• B. 0.016
• C. 0.16
• D. 1.6

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the product of 32 and 5, you simply multiply the two numbers: 32 × 5 = 160. Therefore, when expressed in decimal form, the answer is 1.6. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the correct multiplication result in decimal form. Choice A is way too small, choice B is also too small, and choice C is close but still not the correct result.

2. How many centimeters are there in 1 foot?

• A. 4.72 centimeters
• B. 10 centimeters
• C. 25.4 centimeters
• D. 30.48 centimeters

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert feet to centimeters, you need to consider that there are 2.54 centimeters in an inch. Since a foot is equal to 12 inches, you multiply 12 inches by 2.54 to get 30.48 centimeters. Therefore, there are 30.48 centimeters in 1 foot. Choice A (4.72 centimeters) is incorrect as it does not use the correct conversion factor. Choice B (10 centimeters) is incorrect as it is not the accurate conversion for 1 foot. Choice C (25.4 centimeters) is incorrect as it corresponds to 10 inches, not 1 foot.

3. Jenny lost 3.2 lbs each month for 6 months. How much weight has Jenny lost?

• A. 19.2 lbs
• B. 15 lbs
• C. 20 lbs
• D. 18 lbs

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine how much weight Jenny has lost, you need to multiply the weight lost per month (3.2 lbs) by the number of months (6). 3.2 lbs x 6 = 19.2 lbs. Therefore, Jenny has lost a total of 19.2 lbs. Choice B (15 lbs) is incorrect because it does not account for the total weight lost over the 6 months. Choice C (20 lbs) is incorrect as it overestimates the total weight lost. Choice D (18 lbs) is incorrect as it underestimates the total weight lost.

4. If the quotient is 4 and the dividend is 12, what is the divisor?

• A. 3
• B. 6
• C. 4
• D. 9

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the divisor, you need to divide the dividend by the quotient. In this case, the dividend is 12 and the quotient is 4. Dividing 12 by 4 gives you the divisor, which is 3. Therefore, the correct answer is 4. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not result from dividing the dividend by the quotient in this scenario.

5. What is 70% of 200?

• A. 100
• B. 100
• C. 200
• D. 140

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find 70% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.70. Therefore, 70% of 200 is calculated as 0.7 × 200 = 140. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the correct calculation for finding 70% of 200.
