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. Karen goes to the grocery store with $40. She buys a carton of milk for $1.85, a loaf of bread for $3.20, and a bunch of bananas for $3.05. How much money does she have left?

• A. $30.95
• B. $31.90
• C. $32.10
• D. $34.95

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine how much money Karen has left, we first calculate the total cost of the items she bought: $1.85 + $3.20 + $3.05 = $8.10. Subtracting this total cost from the initial amount she had, $40 - $8.10 = $31.90 left. Choice A, $30.95, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct amount left after subtracting the total cost. Choice C, $32.10, is incorrect as it is the total cost of the items she bought, not the amount left. Choice D, $34.95, is incorrect as it does not consider the expenses incurred and subtracted from the initial amount.

3. Subtract 32 divided by 8\9.

• A. 36
• B. 32
• C. 40
• D. 44

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 32 ÷ (8\9) is the same as 32 × (9\8) = 36.

4. How many inches are in 1.5 yards?

• A. 54 inches
• B. 60 inches
• C. 72 inches
• D. 84 inches

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert yards to inches, multiply the number of yards by 36 (since there are 36 inches in a yard). 1.5 yards × 36 inches/yard = 54 inches. Therefore, the correct answer is 54 inches. Choice B, 60 inches, is incorrect as it incorrectly assumes that there are 40 inches in a yard. Choice C, 72 inches, is incorrect as it multiplies 1.5 by 48, which is not the correct conversion factor. Choice D, 84 inches, is incorrect as it multiplies 1.5 by 56, which is not the correct conversion factor.

5. Square: A garden bed has a side length of 8 meters. What is its perimeter?

• A. 16m
• B. 24m
• C. 32m
• D. 64m

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The perimeter of a square is found by adding up all four sides. Since all sides of a square are equal in length, the perimeter is calculated by multiplying the side length by 4. In this case, the side length of the square garden bed is 8 meters. Therefore, the perimeter is 8m x 4 = 32m. Choice A (16m) is incorrect as it represents only half of the perimeter. Choice B (24m) is incorrect because it is the perimeter of a square with a side length of 6 meters, not 8 meters. Choice D (64m) is incorrect as it represents the area of the square, not the perimeter.
