1. To begin making her soup, Jennifer added four containers of chicken broth with 1 liter of water into the pot. Each container of chicken broth contains 410 milliliters. How much liquid is in the pot?

• A. 1.64 liters
• B. 2.64 liters
• C. 5.44 liters
• D. 6.12 liters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Each container of chicken broth contains 410 milliliters. Jennifer added four containers, which totals 4 * 410 = 1640 milliliters of chicken broth. She then added 1 liter of water, equivalent to 1000 milliliters. Combining all the liquids, we get 1640 + 1000 = 2640 milliliters, which equals 2.64 liters. Choice A is incorrect because it miscalculates the total liquid volume. Choice C is incorrect as it greatly overestimates the liquid amount. Choice D is incorrect as it also overestimates the liquid content in the pot.

2. Sarah buys one red can of paint every month. If she continues this for four months, how many red cans did she buy?

• A. 2
• B. 3
• C. 4
• D. 5

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. Sarah buys one red can of paint every month for four months. Therefore, if she continues this pattern for four months, she would have bought a total of 4 red cans. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the total number of red cans accumulated over the specified period of four months.

3. Arrange the following numbers from least to greatest: 7/3, 9/2, 10/9, 7/8

• A. 10/9, 7/3, 9/2, 7/8
• B. 9/2, 7/3, 10/9, 7/8
• C. 7/3, 9/2, 10/9, 7/8
• D. 7/8, 10/9, 7/3, 9/2

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To arrange the numbers from least to greatest, first convert them to decimals: 1. 7/3 is approximately 2.33 2. 9/2 equals 4.5 3. 10/9 is approximately 1.11 4. 7/8 equals 0.875 Now, arrange the decimals from least to greatest: 0.875 (7/8), 1.11 (10/9), 2.33 (7/3), 4.5 (9/2). Therefore, the correct order is 7/8, 10/9, 7/3, 9/2. Choice A is incorrect because it doesn't follow the correct order. Choice B is incorrect as it places 9/2 before 7/3, which is not the right arrangement. Choice C is incorrect as it places 7/3 before 9/2 and 10/9, which is incorrect. Thus, the correct answer is choice D.

4. Which of the following is equivalent to 3.28?

• A. (328/100)
• B. (41/5)
• C. (3/28)
• D. (7/25)

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a fraction, we can treat it as a fraction over 1 and then simplify. For 3.28, it can be written as 3.28/1. To convert this to a fraction, we multiply by 100 to get (328/100). Then, to simplify, we divide both the numerator and denominator by 4 to get (82/25). This simplifies further to (7/25). Therefore, (7/25) is equivalent to 3.28. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the decimal 3.28.

5. Margery plans a vacation with costs for airfare, hotel (5 nights), sightseeing, and meals. If she receives a 10% discount on additional hotel nights, what will she spend?

• A. 1328.35
• B. 1373.5
• C. 1381.4
• D. 1417.6

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate Margery's total cost, we first need to find the cost without the discount. Let's say the original cost is x. With a 10% discount, she saves 10% of the cost of additional hotel nights. Since she is staying for 5 nights, the discount applies to 4 additional nights (5 - 1 night already included). Therefore, she saves 10% of 4 nights' cost. If x is the cost of 1 night, the total cost without discount is 5x. With the 10% discount, she saves 0.1 * 4x = 0.4x. So, the cost after discount is 5x - 0.4x = 4.6x. Given that the total cost is 5x for 5 nights, we can equate 5x to 4.6x to find x. Solving for x, we get x = Total cost / 5 = 5x / 5 = 4.6x / 5. Therefore, x = 4.6x / 5, which simplifies to x = 0.92 * 5x. This means 1 night's cost is 0.92 times the total cost for 5 nights. Given the total cost is $1328.35, we find the cost for 1 night is $1328.35 / 5 = $265.67. So, Margery will spend $1328.35 for her vacation.
