1. What is the result of subtracting 9.99 from 12.02?

• A. 2.03
• B. 2.21
• C. 3.17
• D. 7.97

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct subtraction is 12.02 - 9.99 = 2.03. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B, 2.21, is incorrect as it does not result from the given subtraction. Choice C, 3.17, is also incorrect. Choice D, 7.97, is incorrect as well. Thus, A is the only correct answer.

2. Ratio and proportion 1.2:x=14:42.

• A. 2
• B. 0
• C. 1
• D. 3

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Cross-multiply to solve for 𝑥 x: 1.2 × 42 = 14 𝑥 1.2×42=14x 50.4 = 14 𝑥 50.4=14x 𝑥 = 50.4 14 = 3.6 x= 14 50.4 ​ =3.6

3. Convert 0.25 to a fraction.

• A. 1/4
• B. 1/3
• C. 1/2
• D. 3/4

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a fraction, place the decimal value over the place value of the last digit. In this case, 0.25 can be written as 25/100. Simplifying this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 25 gives 1/4. Therefore, 0.25 expressed as a fraction is 1/4. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they represent different fractional values that do not correspond to 0.25.

4. 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.

5. What is the probability of rolling an even number on a six-sided die?

• A. 50%
• B. 16.70%
• C. 25%
• D. 33.30%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, 50%. A standard six-sided die has three even numbers (2, 4, 6) out of six possible outcomes. The probability of rolling an even number is therefore 3 out of 6, which simplifies to 50%. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the probability of rolling an even number on a six-sided die.
