1. What is 50% of 120?

• A. 50
• B. 50
• C. 70
• D. 60

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 60. To find 50% of 120, you multiply 0.5 by 120: 0.5 x 120 = 60. Choice A and B are incorrect as they are duplicates. Choice C, 70, is incorrect because it is not the result of calculating 50% of 120.

2. What is the solution to the equation 4y - 6 = 14? Solve for y.

• A. 4
• B. 5
• C. 6
• D. 7

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To solve the equation 4y - 6 = 14 for y, isolate y by adding 6 to both sides: 4y = 14 + 6 => 4y = 20. Then, divide by 4 to solve for y: y = 20 ÷ 4 = 5. Therefore, the correct answer is 5. Choice A is incorrect as it does not represent the correct solution to the equation. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the solution obtained after correctly solving the equation. Choice D is incorrect as it is not the correct solution to the given equation.

3. Subtract 17 2\3 - 8 5\9.

• A. 8 4\9
• B. 9 1\9
• C. 8 3\9
• D. 8 4\9

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Find a common denominator to subtract: 17 2\3 - 8 5\9 = 9 1\9.

4. Solve for x: 4x + 2 = 18.

• A. x = 4
• B. x = 4
• C. x = 5
• D. x = 3

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To solve for x, first, subtract 2 from both sides of the equation: 4x = 16. Then, divide by 4 to isolate x: x = 4. Choice A, x = 4, is the correct answer as calculated. Choice C, x = 5, is incorrect because the correct value of x is 4, not 5. Choice D, x = 3, is incorrect as well, as the correct value of x is 4, not 3.

5. A woman received a bottle of perfume as a present. The bottle contains 3/4 oz of perfume. How many milliliters is this?

• A. 25 mL
• B. 22.5 mL
• C. 15 mL
• D. 20 mL

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert ounces to milliliters, multiply the number of ounces by 29.5735. 3/4 oz × 29.5735 ≈ 22.5 mL. Therefore, the correct answer is 22.5 mL. Choice A (25 mL) is incorrect as it does not result from the correct conversion. Choices C (15 mL) and D (20 mL) are also incorrect conversions.
