1. Multiply: 52 × 04 =

• A. 0.00208
• B. 0.0208
• C. 0.208
• D. 2.08

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To multiply 52 by 04, you first multiply the two numbers together: 52 x 4 = 208. Since there are two decimal places in the expression, you need to divide the result by 100, which gives you 0.0208. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (0.00208) is incorrect because it represents a much smaller value obtained by considering the decimal incorrectly. Choice C (0.208) is incorrect because it does not account for the decimal placement. Choice D (2.08) is incorrect as it does not consider the requirement to convert the result into decimal form.

2. What is the absolute value of -7?

• A. 49
• B. 17
• C. 7
• D. 14

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of its sign. In this case, the absolute value of -7 is 7 because it is 7 units away from zero in the negative direction. Therefore, the absolute value of -7 is 7. Choice A (49) is incorrect as it is the square of -7, not the absolute value. Choice B (17) and Choice D (14) are incorrect values and do not represent the absolute value of -7.

3. Convert 2 teaspoons to milliliters.

• A. 4.3 milliliters
• B. 9 milliliters
• C. 9.86 milliliters
• D. 4 milliliters

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert teaspoons to milliliters, we use the conversion factor of 1 teaspoon = approximately 4.93 milliliters. Multiplying 2 teaspoons by 4.93 gives us 9.86 milliliters. Therefore, the correct answer is 9.86 milliliters. Choice A (4.3 milliliters) is incorrect as it doesn't align with the conversion factor. Choice B (9 milliliters) is incorrect because it doesn't consider the precise conversion factor. Choice D (4 milliliters) is incorrect as it doesn't account for the accurate conversion from teaspoons to milliliters.

4. Convert 0.25 to a fraction.

• A. 1/4
• B. 1/3
• C. 1/2
• D. 3/4

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a fraction, place the decimal value over the place value of the last digit. In this case, 0.25 can be written as 25/100. Simplifying this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 25 gives 1/4. Therefore, 0.25 expressed as a fraction is 1/4. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they represent different fractional values that do not correspond to 0.25.

5. A man is reading a book with 798 pages. If he reads 2 chapters a day and each chapter has 6 pages, how many days will it take him to finish the book?

• A. 133 days
• B. 399 days
• C. 66.5 days
• D. 75 days

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the total number of chapters, divide the total number of pages by the number of pages per chapter: 798 ÷ 6 = 133 chapters. Reading 2 chapters per day means it will take 133 ÷ 2 = 66.5 days. Choice A, 133 days, is incorrect because it miscalculates the days needed to finish the book. Choice B, 399 days, is incorrect as it doesn't consider the number of chapters read per day. Choice D, 75 days, is incorrect as it doesn't account for the total number of chapters in the book.
