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. A man is reading. He reads two chapters a day. How long will it take if there are 6 pages per chapter and 798 pages total?

• A. 66 & 1/2
• B. 399
• C. 75 & 1/2
• D. 133

Correct answer: A

Rationale: First, calculate how many pages the man reads per day. Since he reads two chapters a day and each chapter has 6 pages: 2 chapters/day × 6 pages/chapter = 12 pages/day Now, divide the total number of pages by the number of pages he reads per day: 798 pages ÷ 12 pages/day = 66 1/2 days Thus, it will take him 66 & 1/2 days to finish the book. Therefore, the correct answer is A. 66 & 1/2. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation based on the given information.

3. What is (12/15) ÷ (3/5) = ?

• A. 1 1/3
• B. 1 2/3
• C. 2 1/3
• D. 1

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To divide fractions, you multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. (12/15) ÷ (3/5) is the same as (12/15) * (5/3). Cancel out common factors to simplify: 12 ÷ 3 = 4, 15 ÷ 5 = 3. So, the expression simplifies to 4/3, which is 1 1/3 in mixed number form. Choice A, 1 1/3, is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the simplified form of the division of the given fractions.

4. What is the result of multiplying 226 by 55.3?

• A. 12,500
• B. 12,541.8
• C. 12,600
• D. 12,450

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 12,541.8. To find this result, you multiply 226 by 55.3, which equals 12,541.8. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate multiplication of 226 by 55.3.

5. Divide and simplify: 4⅛ ÷ 1½ =

• A. 4½
• B. 4¼
• C. 2¾
• D. 2¼

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To divide mixed numbers, we first convert them to improper fractions. Converting 4⅛ to an improper fraction gives us 33/8, and converting 1½ gives us 3/2. Dividing 33/8 by 3/2, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second. This gives us (33/8) / (3/2) = (33/8) * (2/3) = 66/24 = 11/4, which simplifies to 2¾. Therefore, the correct answer is 2¾. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct result of dividing 4⅛ by 1½.
