1. What number is 44 equal to 25% of?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the number, let it be x. The equation is 44 = 0.25 * x. Dividing both sides by 0.25 gives x = 44 / 0.25 = 176. Therefore, 44 is equal to 25% of 176. Choice A is correct because 176 is the number that 44 is equal to 25% of. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not satisfy the equation 44 = 0.25 * x.

2. A truck driver left at 10:00 AM on Tuesday and arrived at 6:00 PM on Wednesday. How many hours did he drive?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 27 hours. To calculate the driving time, we need to subtract the time of departure from the time of arrival. The driver left at 10:00 AM on Tuesday and arrived at 6:00 PM on Wednesday. This means the driver was on the road for a total of 32 hours. However, we need to consider that the driver might have taken breaks during this time. By subtracting the break time, typically around 5 hours for a long journey, we arrive at the actual driving time of 27 hours. Choice A (28 hours) is incorrect as it does not account for breaks. Choice B (32 hours) is incorrect as it does not consider break time. Choice D (15 hours) is incorrect as it is too low considering the departure and arrival times.

3. A solution is 60% alcohol. If 200ml of the solution is used, how much pure alcohol is present?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: If the solution is 60% alcohol, it means that 60% of the solution is alcohol. Therefore, in 200ml of the solution, the amount of alcohol present is: 200ml * 60% = 200ml * 0.60 = 120ml. So, when 200ml of the solution is used, there are 120ml of pure alcohol present. Choice A, 100ml, is incorrect because it does not account for the correct percentage of alcohol in the solution. Choice C, 140ml, and Choice D, 160ml, are incorrect as they overestimate the amount of pure alcohol present in the solution.

4. Change 0.004 to a ratio.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.004 to a ratio, first express it as a fraction. 0.004 = 4/1000 = 1/250. Therefore, the ratio is 1:250. Choice A is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect ratios as they do not represent the equivalent fraction of 0.004.

5. How many ounces are in 1.5 quarts?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, you multiply the number of quarts by the conversion factor of 32 (since there are 32 ounces in a quart). Therefore, 1.5 quarts is equal to 1.5 x 32 = 48 ounces. The correct answer is 48 ounces. Choice A (32 ounces) is incorrect as it represents the amount of ounces in 1 quart, not 1.5 quarts. Choice B (16 ounces) is incorrect as it is half the amount of ounces in 1 quart. Choice D (64 ounces) is incorrect as it represents the amount of ounces in 2 quarts, not 1.5 quarts.
