1. A cell has a diameter of 0.1 meter, and another cell has a diameter of 0.05 meters. How many times larger is the first cell compared to the second cell?

• A. 2
• B. 4
• C. 8
• D. 16

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine how many times larger the first cell is compared to the second cell, divide the diameter of the first cell by the diameter of the second cell: 0.1 / 0.05 = 2. Therefore, the first cell is 2 times larger than the second cell. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not provide the accurate calculation for the size difference between the two cells.

2. Chan receives a bonus from his job. He pays 30% in taxes, donates 30% to charity, and uses another 25% to pay off an old debt. He has $600 remaining. What was the total amount of Chan's bonus?

• A. $3,000
• B. $3,200
• C. $3,600
• D. $4,000

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Chan has used 30% + 30% + 25% = 85% of his bonus, which leaves 15% remaining. Since 15% of his bonus is $600, you can find the total bonus amount by dividing $600 by 15% (or multiplying by 100/15), which equals $4,000. Therefore, the correct answer is $4,000. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the total remaining amount after the specified deductions.

3. Which of the following is the correct decimal placement for the product of 1.6 * 0.93?

• A. 14.88
• B. 0.1488
• C. 1.488
• D. 0.001488

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the product of 1.6 * 0.93, you multiply these two numbers to get 1.488. Therefore, the correct decimal placement for the product is 1.488. Choice A, 14.88, is incorrect as it incorrectly places the decimal two spots to the right. Choice B, 0.1488, is incorrect as it incorrectly places the decimal one spot to the right. Choice D, 0.001488, is incorrect as it incorrectly places the decimal three spots to the right.

4. Solve the following: 4 x 7 + (25 – 21)²

• A. 512
• B. 36
• C. 44
• D. 22

Correct answer: B

Rationale: First, solve the expression inside the parentheses: 25 − 21 = 4 25−21=4 Then, square the result from the parentheses: 4 2 = 16 4 2 =16 Perform the multiplication: 4 × 7 = 28 4×7=28 Finally, add the results: 28 + 16 = 44 28+16=44

5. Eric buys 5 1/2 pounds of apples each week for four weeks. How many total pounds does he buy?

• A. 22 pounds
• B. 20 pounds
• C. 18 pounds
• D. 24 pounds

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total pounds of apples Eric buys, you need to multiply the pounds of apples bought each week (5 1/2 pounds) by the number of weeks (4 weeks). When you multiply 5 1/2 by 4, you get 22 pounds. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the total pounds purchased over the four weeks.
