1. What is 25% of 200?

• A. 50
• B. 60
• C. 25
• D. 30

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 25% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.25. So, to calculate 25% of 200, you do 0.25 × 200 = 50. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (60) is incorrect as it is the result of calculating 30% of 200. Choice C (25) is incorrect as it represents 12.5% of 200. Choice D (30) is incorrect as it is the result of calculating 15% of 200.

2. Express the ratio of 13:60 as a percentage.

• A. 19.50%
• B. 21.67%
• C. 25.50%
• D. 31%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To express the ratio 13:60 as a percentage, calculate the decimal form of the ratio by dividing 13 by 60: 13/60 ≈ 0.2167. Next, convert this decimal to a percentage by multiplying by 100: 0.2167 x 100 = 21.67%. Choice A, 19.50%, is incorrect as it does not accurately represent the ratio. Choice C, 25.50%, and Choice D, 31%, are also incorrect calculations of the percentage equivalent of the ratio 13:60.

3. Imaginary unit multiples are used to represent numbers that cannot be obtained on the number line. Which of the following is equivalent to 5i?

• A. -5
• B. i^5
• C. 5√-1
• D. 1/5i

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: - The imaginary unit, denoted as "i," is defined as the square root of -1. - Therefore, 5i can be expressed as 5 times the square root of -1, which is equivalent to 5√-1. - Option A, -5, is a real number and not an imaginary unit multiple. - Option B, i^5, is equal to i because i raised to any power that is a multiple of 4 results in 1, and i^5 is equivalent to i. - Option D, 1/5i, is the reciprocal of 5i and not equivalent to 5i.

4. Solve for x: x/250 = 3/500.

• A. 150
• B. 25.5
• C. 1.5
• D. 60

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To solve for x, cross-multiply: x/250 = 3/500. This simplifies to x = 1.5. Therefore, the correct answer is 1.5. Choice A (150) is incorrect because it does not account for the division by 250. Choice B (25.5) is incorrect as it is not the correct result of the calculation. Choice D (60) is incorrect as it is not the correct result of the calculation either.

5. How many inches are in 2 yards?

• A. 36 inches
• B. 48 inches
• C. 60 inches
• D. 72 inches

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert yards to inches, remember that there are 36 inches in a yard. Therefore, when you have 2 yards, multiplying 36 inches by 2 results in 72 inches. Choice A, 36 inches, is the number of inches in 1 yard, not 2 yards. Choice B, 48 inches, and Choice C, 60 inches, are incorrect calculations based on the conversion factor of 36 inches per yard.
