1. Calculate the product of (99)(0.56) =
- A. 99.30
- B. 99.56
- C. 55.44
- D. 199.54
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the product of 99 and 0.56, multiply the two numbers: 99 x 0.56 = 55.44. Therefore, the correct answer is 55.44.
2. A recent census of visitors to a popular beach showed that there was a ratio of 6:16 surfers to swimmers. Which of the following is a possible actual number of surfers and swimmers at the beach?
- A. 62:45
- B. 72:210
- C. 125:00
- D. 219:20
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The ratio given is 6:16, which can be simplified to 3:8 by dividing both sides by 2. This means that for every 3 surfers, there are 8 swimmers. To find a possible number of surfers and swimmers that fit this ratio, we can multiply both parts of the ratio by a common factor. Multiplying 3 and 8 by 24 gives us 72 surfers and 210 swimmers, which makes answer choice B the correct option. Choice A, C, and D do not reflect the ratio of surfers to swimmers given in the question.
3. Express 2/5 as a decimal.
- A. 0.2
- B. 0.25
- C. 0.4
- D. 2.5
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To express 2/5 as a decimal, you divide the numerator (2) by the denominator (5). 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4. Choice A (0.2) is the decimal equivalent of 1/5, not 2/5. Choice B (0.25) is the decimal equivalent of 1/4, not 2/5. Choice D (2.5) is not the correct decimal equivalent of 2/5 as it is greater than 1.
4. A worker ships 25 boxes each day. Each box contains 3 shipping labels. The inventory has 500 shipping labels. How many days will it take to use the inventory of shipping labels? Round to the nearest whole.
- A. 7 days
- B. 8 days
- C. 20 days
- D. 6 days
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To find out how many days it will take to use the 500 shipping labels, multiply the number of labels used per day (25 boxes * 3 labels/box = 75 labels) by the total number of days the inventory will last (500 labels ÷ 75 labels/day = 6.67 days). Rounded to the nearest whole number, it will take 7 days to use the inventory of shipping labels. Choice B (8 days) is incorrect because the calculation yields 6.67 days, which rounds down to 6 days, making it an incorrect answer. Choice C (20 days) and Choice D (6 days) are also incorrect as they are not the nearest whole number to the correct answer of 7 days.
5. What is the result of dividing 3.44 by 0.6 rounded off to the nearest whole number?
- A. 0
- B. 6
- C. 11
- D. 2
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To find the result of dividing 3.44 by 0.6, you perform the division operation: 3.44 ÷ 0.6 = 5.73. When rounded off to the nearest whole number, 5.73 becomes 6. Therefore, the correct answer is 6. Choice A is incorrect as the result is not 0. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the closest whole number to 5.73. Choice D is incorrect as it does not reflect the accurate division result.
