1. Calculate the sum of the numbers from 1 to 6:

• A. 30
• B. 21
• C. 15
• D. 13

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the sum of numbers from 1 to 6, we add them together: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 21. Therefore, the correct answer is 21. Choice A (30) is incorrect because it is not the sum of the numbers 1 to 6. Choice C (15) is incorrect as it is the sum of numbers 1 to 5. Choice D (13) is incorrect as it is the sum of numbers 1 to 4, not 1 to 6.

2. Simplify the following expression: 13 - 3/22 - 11

• A. 19/22
• B. 7/22
• C. 10/11
• D. 5/11

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To simplify the expression, first find a common denominator for the fractions. 3/22 can be rewritten as 6/22. Now, the expression becomes 13/22 - 6/22 - 11. Subtracting 6/22 from 13/22 gives 7/22. Therefore, the correct answer is 7/22. Choice A, 19/22, is incorrect as the subtraction was not done properly. Choices C and D are incorrect as they are not part of the expression being simplified.

3. If a person spends 1/4 of their day sleeping, how many hours do they spend sleeping?

• A. 6 hours
• B. 8 hours
• C. 4 hours
• D. 5 hours

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the number of hours a person spends sleeping when 1/4 of the day is spent sleeping, you need to find 1/4 of 24 hours. 1/4 of 24 hours is 6 hours, so the correct answer is A. Choice B (8 hours) is incorrect because it does not correspond to 1/4 of a day. Choice C (4 hours) is incorrect as it is half of the correct answer. Choice D (5 hours) is incorrect as it does not match the calculation for 1/4 of a day.

4. How much did he save from the original price?

• A. $170
• B. $212.50
• C. $105.75
• D. $200

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the amount saved from the original price, you need to subtract the discounted price from the original price. The formula is: Original price - Discounted price = Amount saved. In this case, the original price was $850, and the discounted price was $637.50. Therefore, $850 - $637.50 = $212.50. Hence, he saved $212.50 from the original price. Choice A ($170) is incorrect as it is not the correct amount saved. Choice C ($105.75) is incorrect as it does not match the calculated savings. Choice D ($200) is incorrect as it is not the accurate amount saved based on the given prices.

5. A recipe calls for 2.5 teaspoons of vanilla. 1 teaspoon equals approximately 4.93 mL. Which of the following is the correct amount of vanilla in mL?

• A. 5.33 mL
• B. 7.43 mL
• C. 12.325 mL
• D. 0.507 mL

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert 2.5 teaspoons of vanilla to milliliters, you multiply by the conversion factor: 2.5 teaspoons * 4.93 mL = 12.325 mL. Therefore, the correct amount of vanilla in milliliters is 12.325 mL. Choice A (5.33 mL) is incorrect because it does not account for the correct conversion factor. Choice B (7.43 mL) is incorrect as it also does not use the accurate conversion factor. Choice D (0.507 mL) is incorrect as it represents a miscalculation of the conversion.
