1. What is 28% of 100?

• A. 28
• B. 20
• C. 25
• D. 30

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 28. To find 28% of 100, you multiply 0.28 (the decimal equivalent of 28%) by 100. This calculation results in 28. Therefore, 28% of 100 is 28. Choice B, 20, is incorrect as it represents 20% of 100. Choice C, 25, is incorrect as it represents 25% of 100. Choice D, 30, is incorrect as it represents 30% of 100.

2. In the number 743.25, which digit represents the tenths place?

• A. 3
• B. 4
• C. 2
• D. 5

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In the number 743.25, the tenths place is the first digit to the right of the decimal point, which is 2. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (3) represents the hundredths place, choice B (4) represents the units place, and choice D (5) represents the hundredths place.

3. What is the result of adding 12 + 2 + 312?

• A. 936
• B. 374.4
• C. 326
• D. 318.24

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the sum of 12 + 2 + 312, you simply need to add these numbers together. 12 + 2 = 14, and when you add 312 to 14, you get the correct total of 326. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (936), choice B (374.4), and choice D (318.24) are incorrect as they do not represent the correct sum of the given numbers.

4. What is the result of dividing 3.44 by 0.6?

• A. 11.41
• B. 5.73
• C. 2.33
• D. 0.57

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 5.73. When dividing 3.44 by 0.6, the calculation is 3.44 ÷ 0.6 = 5.73. Choice A (11.41) is incorrect because it is the result of multiplying, not dividing. Choice C (2.33) and Choice D (0.57) are also incorrect results obtained by incorrect calculations.

5. Edie has 132 tulip bulbs. She wants to plant all of the tulip bulbs in 12 rows. How many bulbs should she plant in each row?

• A. 11 bulbs
• B. 10 bulbs
• C. 12 bulbs
• D. 15 bulbs

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To plant 132 bulbs in 12 rows, Edie should plant 11 bulbs in each row. This is calculated by dividing the total number of bulbs by the number of rows: 132 bulbs ÷ 12 rows = 11 bulbs per row. Choice B, 10 bulbs, is incorrect because dividing 132 bulbs by 12 rows does not equal 10. Choice C, 12 bulbs, is incorrect because if Edie plants 12 bulbs in each row, the total number of bulbs planted would exceed 132. Choice D, 15 bulbs, is incorrect as dividing 132 bulbs by 12 rows does not result in 15 bulbs per row.
