1. What is the result of 0.003 x 4.23?

• A. 0.01269
• B. 0.01029
• C. 0.01419
• D. 0.01329

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the product of 0.003 and 4.23, multiply the two numbers: 0.003 x 4.23 = 0.01269. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 0.01269. Choice B, 0.01029, is incorrect as it is the result of a different calculation. Choice C, 0.01419, is incorrect because it is not the product of 0.003 and 4.23. Choice D, 0.01329, is also incorrect as it does not represent the correct multiplication result.

2. 5 1\3 + 3 1\2.

• A. 8 5/6
• B. 9
• C. 7
• D. 8

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 5 1\3 + 3 1\2 equals 8 5\6.

3. How many ounces are in 4.5 quarts?

• A. 120 ounces
• B. 120 ounces
• C. 144 ounces
• D. 128 ounces

Correct answer: C

Rationale: There are 32 ounces in a quart, so to find out how many ounces are in 4.5 quarts, you need to multiply 4.5 by 32. 4.5 quarts * 32 ounces/quart = 144 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is 144 ounces. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the conversion from quarts to ounces.

4. A lampshade is shaped like a frustum of a cone, with base diameters of 20cm and 10cm and a height of 15cm. What is its volume?

• A. 625 cu cm
• B. 1250 cu cm
• C. 1875 cu cm
• D. 2500 cu cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the volume of the frustum of a cone, divide it into two cones and calculate their volumes separately. The formula for the volume of a cone frustum involves the radii of both bases and the height. The volume of the frustum cone can be calculated as V = 1/3 * π * h * (R^2 + r^2 + R * r), where R is the larger radius, r is the smaller radius, and h is the height. Substituting the values, V = 1/3 * π * 15 * (10^2 + 20*10 + 20^2) = 1875 cu cm. Therefore, the correct answer is 1875 cu cm. Choice A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation of the frustum's volume.

5. Divide and simplify: 4⅛ ÷ 1½ =

• A. 4½
• B. 4¼
• C. 2¾
• D. 2¼

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To divide mixed numbers, we first convert them to improper fractions. Converting 4⅛ to an improper fraction gives us 33/8, and converting 1½ gives us 3/2. Dividing 33/8 by 3/2, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second. This gives us (33/8) / (3/2) = (33/8) * (2/3) = 66/24 = 11/4, which simplifies to 2¾. Therefore, the correct answer is 2¾. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct result of dividing 4⅛ by 1½.
