1. What is the result of subtracting 10.012 from 0.120?

• A. 10
• B. 9.892
• C. 10.122
• D. 9.012

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the result of subtracting 10.012 from 0.120, you need to subtract the two numbers: 0.120 - 10.012 = -9.892. The correct answer is B, 9.892. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct subtraction operation and result.

2. In a class of 25 students, 44% are boys. How many boys are there?

• A. 10 boys
• B. 11 boys
• C. 9 boys
• D. 13 boys

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the number of boys in the class, calculate 44% of 25 students. 44% of 25 is calculated as follows: 0.44 x 25 = 11 boys. Therefore, there are 11 boys in the class. Choice A, 10 boys, is incorrect as it miscalculates the percentage. Choice C, 9 boys, is incorrect as it is less than 11. Choice D, 13 boys, is incorrect as it is greater than the correct calculation.

3. How many liters are in 5000 milliliters?

• A. 5 liters
• B. 4 liters
• C. 6 liters
• D. 5.5 liters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, you divide by 1000 since 1000 milliliters make up 1 liter. In this case, 5000 milliliters divided by 1000 milliliters per liter equals 5 liters (5000 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L = 5 L). Therefore, the correct answer is A: 5 liters. Choice B, 4 liters, is incorrect because 5000 milliliters is equivalent to 5 liters, not 4. Choice C, 6 liters, is incorrect as it is not the accurate conversion from milliliters to liters in this case. Choice D, 5.5 liters, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct conversion of 5000 milliliters to liters, which is 5 liters.

4. Multiply 0.05 by 22 and express the result as a decimal:

• A. 1.1
• B. 0.11
• C. 0.011
• D. 0.0011

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When multiplying 0.05 by 22, you get 1.10. To express this result as a decimal, you move the decimal point two places to the left since there are two total decimal places in the question (one in 0.05 and none in 22), resulting in 0.011. Choice A (1.1) incorrectly adds a decimal place, choice B (0.11) incorrectly moves the decimal point only one place, and choice D (0.0011) adds an extra zero.

5. Olivia currently earns $51,200 in her job. If her salary increases by 4% this year, what will her new salary be?

• A. $52,348
• B. $52,736
• C. $53,040
• D. $53,248

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find Olivia's new salary after a 4% increase, we calculate 4% of $51,200, which is 0.04 x $51,200 = $2,048. Adding this increase to Olivia's current salary gives us the new salary: $51,200 + $2,048 = $53,248. Therefore, Olivia's salary after the 4% increase will be $53,248. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation for the new salary after a 4% increase.
