1. Round to the tenths place: What is 6.4% of 32?

• A. 1.8
• B. 2.1
• C. 2.6
• D. 2.0

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find 6.4% of 32, first calculate 6.4% as a decimal (0.064) and then multiply it by 32 to get 2.048. When rounding to the tenths place, 2.048 is rounded to 2.1 because the digit after the tenths place is 8, which is equal to or greater than 5. Choice A is incorrect as it does not reflect the accurate calculation. Choices C and D are also incorrect because they do not match the correct result of multiplying 6.4% by 32 and rounding to the tenths place.

2. What is the result of dividing 2,032 by 25?

• A. 91 r3
• B. 81 r28
• C. 81 r7
• D. 9 r3

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When dividing 2,032 by 25, you find that 25 goes into 2,032 a total of 81 times without exceeding it. The remainder is 7, not 28 as stated in choice B. This is because 25 * 81 = 2,025, leaving a difference of 7, not 28. Choice A and D are incorrect because they do not correctly represent the division result of 2,032 by 25.

3. How many pints are in 56 ounces?

• A. 3
• B. 3.5
• C. 7
• D. 8

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find out how many pints are in 56 ounces, you need to divide 56 by 16 (as there are 16 ounces in a pint). This results in 3.5 pints, making choice B the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the conversion from ounces to pints.

4. What number is 98 175% of?

• A. 48
• B. 52
• C. 54
• D. 56

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the number that 98 is 175% of, we can set up the equation: x = 1.75 * x. By solving this equation, we get x = 56. Therefore, 98 is 175% of 56. Choice D, 56, is the correct answer as it represents the number that satisfies the given condition. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not result in 98 when multiplied by 1.75.

5. If Gwen's favorite summer drink is 2 parts fruit juice to 3 parts seltzer and she starts with a gallon of fruit juice, how many quarts of seltzer will she need?

• A. 3 quarts
• B. 4.5 quarts
• C. 5 quarts
• D. 6 quarts

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To maintain the ratio of 2 parts fruit juice to 3 parts seltzer, for every 2 parts of fruit juice, Gwen will need 3 parts of seltzer. Since a gallon of fruit juice is equivalent to 4 quarts, she will need 3 quarts of seltzer for every 2 quarts of fruit juice. For 4 quarts of fruit juice, she will require 6 quarts of seltzer. Therefore, Gwen will need 6 quarts of seltzer to make the summer drink for her friends. Choice A (3 quarts) is incorrect because it does not account for the correct ratio. Choice B (4.5 quarts) is incorrect because it is not a whole number and does not align with the ratio provided. Choice C (5 quarts) is incorrect as it does not match the proportional ratio of fruit juice to seltzer required.
