1. Multiply: 5.04 × 2 =

• A. 1.008
• B. 10.08
• C. 10.8
• D. 18

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To multiply 5.04 by 2, you simply multiply the two numbers together: 5.04 x 2 = 10.08. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (1.008) is incorrect as it represents the result of dividing 5.04 by 5 instead of multiplying. Choice C (10.8) is incorrect as it is the result of rounding 10.08 to the nearest whole number. Choice D (18) is incorrect as it results from adding 5.04 and 2 instead of multiplying.

2. Round to the nearest whole number: 4748 ÷ 12 =

• A. 372
• B. 384
• C. 396
• D. 412

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the answer, divide 4748 by 12: 4748 ÷ 12 = 395.666... Since we are rounding to the nearest whole number, we round up to 396 because the decimal part (.666) is greater than .5. Choice A (372) is too low as it does not account for the decimal value. Choice B (384) is also too low. Choice D (412) is too high as it goes beyond the correct rounded value.

3. In a scale drawing for a toy rocket, 1 inch = 6 inches. If the rocket is 6 inches tall on the drawing, how tall will it be in reality?

• A. 1 foot
• B. 6 feet
• C. 1 yard
• D. 2 yards

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the scale drawing, 1 inch represents 6 inches in reality. If the rocket is 6 inches tall on the drawing, the actual height of the rocket would be 6 inches x 6 = 36 inches, which is equal to 3 feet or 1 yard. Therefore, the correct answer is 6 feet. Choice A is incorrect because the actual height is more than 1 foot. Choice C is incorrect as 36 inches is equivalent to 1 yard. Choice D is incorrect because 36 inches is not equal to 2 yards.

4. Erin has 6.25 peach pies. She gives Rose 3.75 of the peach pies. How many pies does Erin have left?

• A. 2 peach pies
• B. 3 peach pies
• C. 1 peach pie
• D. 2 peach pies

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find how many pies Erin has left, subtract 3.75 from 6.25: 6.25 - 3.75 = 2.5 peach pies. Erin has 2.5 peach pies left, which rounds down to 2 pies, making choice A the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct subtraction result.

5. What is the value of pi (π) to 2 decimal places?

• A. 3.12
• B. 3.14
• C. 3.16
• D. 3.18

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The value of pi (π) up to two decimal places is 3.14. Pi is a mathematical constant representing the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter and is commonly approximated as 3.14. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not match the standard approximation of pi up to two decimal places.
