1. Subtract 20.7 - 13.4.

• A. 7.1
• B. 7.5
• C. 7.3
• D. 7.6

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 7.3. To subtract 13.4 from 20.7, you align the decimal points and subtract each place value: 0.7 - 0.4 = 0.3, and 2 - 1 = 1. Therefore, 20.7 - 13.4 = 7.3. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not provide the accurate result of this subtraction.

2. 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.

3. What is the result of 0.003 x 4.23?

• A. 0.01269
• B. 0.01029
• C. 0.01419
• D. 0.01329

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the product of 0.003 and 4.23, multiply the two numbers: 0.003 x 4.23 = 0.01269. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 0.01269. Choice B, 0.01029, is incorrect as it is the result of a different calculation. Choice C, 0.01419, is incorrect because it is not the product of 0.003 and 4.23. Choice D, 0.01329, is also incorrect as it does not represent the correct multiplication result.

4. What is 70% of 110?

• A. 77
• B. 79
• C. 81
• D. 83

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find 70% of 110, you need to multiply 110 by 0.7. Therefore, 110 * 0.7 = 77. The correct answer is 81, not 77. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they are not the product of multiplying 110 by 0.7, which is the correct method for finding 70% of 110.

5. A man is reading. He reads two chapters a day. How long will it take if there are 6 pages per chapter and 798 pages total?

• A. 66 & 1/2
• B. 399
• C. 75 & 1/2
• D. 133

Correct answer: A

Rationale: First, calculate how many pages the man reads per day. Since he reads two chapters a day and each chapter has 6 pages: 2 chapters/day × 6 pages/chapter = 12 pages/day Now, divide the total number of pages by the number of pages he reads per day: 798 pages ÷ 12 pages/day = 66 1/2 days Thus, it will take him 66 & 1/2 days to finish the book. Therefore, the correct answer is A. 66 & 1/2. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation based on the given information.
