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 adding 7 2/3 and 5 5/12?

• A. 11 1/12
• B. 12 1/4
• C. 13 1/12
• D. 14 1/6

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To add mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions. 7 2/3 = 23/3 and 5 5/12 = 65/12. Adding them results in 233/12. Converting this improper fraction back to a mixed number gives 19 5/12, which simplifies to 13 1/12. Therefore, the correct answer is 13 1/12.\nChoice A (11 1/12) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct sum of the given mixed numbers. Choice B (12 1/4) is incorrect as it is not the result of adding 7 2/3 and 5 5/12. Choice D (14 1/6) is incorrect as it is not the correct sum of the provided mixed numbers.

3. Subtract 6 1/2 - 2 2/3.

• A. 4 1/6
• B. 3 1/3
• C. 3 5/6
• D. 4 1/3

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To subtract mixed numbers, find a common denominator. Converting 6 1/2 to 6 3/6 and 2 2/3 to 2 4/6, the calculation becomes 6 3/6 - 2 4/6 = 4 1/6. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (3 1/3) is incorrect as the correct result is not an improper fraction. Choice C (3 5/6) is incorrect as it does not represent the result of the subtraction. Choice D (4 1/3) is incorrect as it does not match the correct calculation.

4. Imaginary unit multiples are used to represent numbers that cannot be obtained on the number line. Which of the following is equivalent to 5i?

• A. -5
• B. i^5
• C. 5√-1
• D. 1/5i

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: - The imaginary unit, denoted as "i," is defined as the square root of -1. - Therefore, 5i can be expressed as 5 times the square root of -1, which is equivalent to 5√-1. - Option A, -5, is a real number and not an imaginary unit multiple. - Option B, i^5, is equal to i because i raised to any power that is a multiple of 4 results in 1, and i^5 is equivalent to i. - Option D, 1/5i, is the reciprocal of 5i and not equivalent to 5i.

5. Express 0.75 as a fraction.

• A. 4/5
• B. 3/4
• C. 1/2
• D. 1/4

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To express 0.75 as a fraction, we write it as 75/100. Simplifying this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 25 gives us 3/4. Therefore, 0.75 is equivalent to 3/4. Choice A (4/5), Choice C (1/2), and Choice D (1/4) are incorrect fractions and do not represent 0.75.
