1. Percent (%) is a way to express a fraction with a denominator of 100. 125% can be expressed as a fraction in lowest terms. Which of the following represents 125% as a fraction?
- A. 5/4
- B. 1/8
- C. 5/2
- D. 25/2
Correct answer: A
Rationale: Percent (%) represents a value out of 100. To convert 125% to a fraction, it is 125/100. Simplifying 125/100 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 25 gives us 5/4. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (1/8), Choice C (5/2), and Choice D (25/2) do not represent 125% as a fraction in lowest terms.
2. Multiply: 22 × 75 = and express the answer in decimal form.
- A. 0.00165
- B. 0.0165
- C. 0.165
- D. 16.5
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: 16.5. To find the product of 22 and 75, you multiply the two numbers together. Therefore, 22 × 75 = 1650, which is correctly represented as 16.5 in decimal form. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct decimal form of the product of 22 and 75. Choice A, 0.00165, is incorrect as it is a very small value that does not match the result of multiplying 22 and 75. Choice B, 0.0165, is also incorrect as it is one tenth of the correct answer. Choice C, 0.165, is incorrect as it is one hundredth of the correct answer. Therefore, the only correct representation in decimal form for the product of 22 and 75 is 16.5.
3. Subtract 28 3/4 - 5 5/6.
- A. 22 & 11/12
- B. 23 & 1/2
- C. 34 & 1/12
- D. 22 & 2/3
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To subtract mixed numbers, find a common denominator. Convert 28 3/4 to 28 9/12. Then, subtract 5 5/6 from 28 9/12 to get 22 11/12. Therefore, 28 3/4 - 5 5/6 = 22 & 11/12, which matches choice A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct subtraction result after finding the common denominator and performing the subtraction.
4. Multiply: 5.04 × 2 =
- A. 1.008
- B. 10.08
- C. 10.8
- D. 18
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To multiply 5.04 by 2, you simply multiply the two numbers together: 5.04 x 2 = 10.08. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (1.008) is incorrect as it represents the result of dividing 5.04 by 5 instead of multiplying. Choice C (10.8) is incorrect as it is the result of rounding 10.08 to the nearest whole number. Choice D (18) is incorrect as it results from adding 5.04 and 2 instead of multiplying.
5. How many ounces are in 2.5 quarts?
- A. 64 ounces
- B. 40 ounces
- C. 32 ounces
- D. 80 ounces
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, you need to know that 1 quart is equal to 32 ounces. Therefore, to find out how many ounces are in 2.5 quarts, you multiply 2.5 by 32, which equals 80 ounces. So, the correct answer is 80 ounces. Choice A (64 ounces) is incorrect as it miscalculates the conversion. Choice B (40 ounces) is incorrect as it does not consider the correct conversion factor. Choice C (32 ounces) is incorrect as it provides the conversion for 1 quart only, not for 2.5 quarts.
