1. Round to the nearest whole number: 4748 ÷ 12 =

• A. 372
• B. 384
• C. 396
• D. 412

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the answer, divide 4748 by 12: 4748 ÷ 12 = 395.666... Since we are rounding to the nearest whole number, we round up to 396 because the decimal part (.666) is greater than .5. Choice A (372) is too low as it does not account for the decimal value. Choice B (384) is also too low. Choice D (412) is too high as it goes beyond the correct rounded value.

2. A stop sign has five equal sides, each measuring 25cm. What is its perimeter?

• A. 100cm
• B. 125cm
• C. 150cm
• D. 175cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: - Since a stop sign has five equal sides, each measuring 25cm, the perimeter can be calculated by adding up the lengths of all five sides. - Perimeter = 25cm + 25cm + 25cm + 25cm + 25cm = 125cm - Therefore, the perimeter of the stop sign is 125cm.

3. When a die is rolled, what is the probability of rolling an odd number?

• A. 16.67%
• B. 33.33%
• C. 75%
• D. 50%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When a die is rolled, there are 3 odd numbers (1, 3, 5) out of a total of 6 possible outcomes. The probability of rolling an odd number is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (3) by the total number of outcomes (6), resulting in a probability of 3/6 or 50%. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct probability calculation for rolling an odd number on a standard six-sided die.

4. What is the result of adding 1/4 + 3/8?

• A. 5/8
• B. 7/12
• C. 2/3
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions with different denominators, find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator of 4 and 8 is 8. Convert 1/4 to 2/8, then add it to 3/8. The sum is 5/8. Choice B (7/12) is incorrect as it is the result of adding 1/3 + 1/4. Choice C (2/3) is incorrect as it is the result of adding 3/8 + 1/4. Choice D (1/2) is incorrect as it is the result of adding 1/4 + 1/4.

5. A hospital receives a shipment of vitamin tablets. The hospital ordered 6,000 tablets, but the shipment included 1/5 more tablets than the hospital ordered. How many tablets were in the shipment?

• A. 7,200 tablets
• B. 5,000 tablets
• C. 6,500 tablets
• D. 8,000 tablets

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total tablets in the shipment, first, calculate 1/5 of 6,000: 6,000 * 1/5 = 1,200. Add this to the original order: 6,000 + 1,200 = 7,200 tablets. Therefore, the shipment included 7,200 tablets. Choice B, 5,000 tablets, is incorrect because it does not account for the additional 1/5 of the original order. Choice C, 6,500 tablets, is incorrect as it only considers the original order and not the extra tablets. Choice D, 8,000 tablets, is incorrect as it overestimates the total by not considering the 1/5 more tablets included in the shipment.
