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. You need to repaint a cylindrical water tank with a diameter of 2 meters and a height of 3 meters. Assuming one can of paint covers 10 sq m, how many cans do you need to cover only the exterior surface?

• A. 6 cans
• B. 9 cans
• C. 12 cans
• D. 15 cans

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the surface area of the cylinder, calculate the lateral surface area using the formula 2πrh, where r is the radius (half of the diameter) and h is the height. Substituting the values, we get 2 * π * 1 * 3 = 6π square meters. Since each can covers 10 sq m, divide the total surface area by the coverage area per can: 6π / 10 ≈ 1.9 cans. Since you can't buy a fraction of a can, you would need to round up, so you would need 2 cans to cover the entire exterior surface. Therefore, you would need 2 * 6 = 12 cans in total. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not consider the correct surface area calculation or the rounding up to the nearest whole number of cans required.

3. Farmer Juan has 14 acres with an average yield of 17460 eggs per acre. The profit per egg is $1.65. What profit should Farmer Juan expect?

• A. $403,326
• B. $148,145.45
• C. $244,440
• D. $2,057.79

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate Farmer Juan's profit, multiply the number of acres (14) by the yield per acre (17460 eggs) and by the profit per egg ($1.65): 14 acres * 17460 eggs * $1.65 = $403,326. Therefore, Farmer Juan should expect a profit of $403,326. Choice A is correct as it accurately calculates the total profit based on the given information. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly compute the total profit from the provided data.

4. Which of the following numbers is NOT divisible by 3?

• A. 105
• B. 141
• C. 273
• D. 810

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To determine if a number is divisible by 3, we can check if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3. If the sum of the digits is divisible by 3, then the original number is also divisible by 3. A) 105: 1 + 0 + 5 = 6, which is divisible by 3. Therefore, 105 is divisible by 3. B) 141: 1 + 4 + 1 = 6, which is divisible by 3. Therefore, 141 is divisible by 3. C) 273: 2 + 7 + 3 = 12, which is divisible by 3. Therefore, 273 is divisible by 3. D) 810: 8 + 1 + 0 = 9, which is not divisible by 3. Therefore, 810 is NOT divisible by 3. Therefore, the correct answer is D (810). Choices A, B, and C are all divisible by 3 as the sum of their digits is divisible by 3.

5. Multiply: 22 × 75 = and express the answer in decimal form.

• A. 0.00165
• B. 0.0165
• C. 0.165
• D. 16.5

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 16.5. To find the product of 22 and 75, you multiply the two numbers together. Therefore, 22 × 75 = 1650, which is correctly represented as 16.5 in decimal form. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct decimal form of the product of 22 and 75. Choice A, 0.00165, is incorrect as it is a very small value that does not match the result of multiplying 22 and 75. Choice B, 0.0165, is also incorrect as it is one tenth of the correct answer. Choice C, 0.165, is incorrect as it is one hundredth of the correct answer. Therefore, the only correct representation in decimal form for the product of 22 and 75 is 16.5.
