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. Calculate the product of (99)(0.56) =

• A. 99.30
• B. 99.56
• C. 55.44
• D. 199.54

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the product of 99 and 0.56, multiply the two numbers: 99 x 0.56 = 55.44. Therefore, the correct answer is 55.44.

3. An artist sells paintings at $5.50 each. She has 7 stands and pays $35 per stand. What is her profit if she sells an average of 11 paintings per stand?

• A. $245
• B. $178.50
• C. $175
• D. $423.50

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the profit, first determine the total revenue: 7 stands * 11 paintings per stand * $5.50 per painting = $423.50. Then, subtract the total stand expenses ($35 per stand * 7 stands = $245) from the total revenue to get the profit: $423.50 - $245 = $178.50. Therefore, the correct answer is $178.50. Option A is incorrect because it does not account for the stand expenses. Option C is incorrect as it does not consider the total revenue. Option D is incorrect as it overestimates the profit by not deducting the stand expenses.

4. Leslie is blowing up her favorite photograph. If the photo's original height was 15 inches and the new height is 4 feet, how many feet must the new width be?

• A. 2.1 feet
• B. 4 feet
• C. 3 feet
• D. 5 feet

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the new width, we need to maintain the aspect ratio of the photo. The original height is 15 inches, which is equivalent to 1.25 feet. If the new height is 4 feet, the scaling factor for the height is 4/1.25 = 3.2. Therefore, to find the new width, we multiply the original width by this scaling factor: 1.25 feet * 3.2 ≈ 4 feet. So, the correct answer is approximately 2.1 feet (4 feet * (15 inches / 4 feet) ≈ 2.1 feet). Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not consider the aspect ratio and calculate the new width incorrectly.

5. 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.
