1. What is 54% of $789.56?

• A. $426.36
• B. $426.37
• C. $363.20
• D. $526.38

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate 54% of $789.56, you multiply 0.54 by 789.56, which equals $426.36. Therefore, choice A, $426.36, is the correct answer. Choice B, $426.37, is incorrect as it is a slightly higher value. Choice C, $363.20, is incorrect as it is significantly lower than the correct answer. Choice D, $526.38, is incorrect as it is higher than the correct calculation result.

2. A female ran a 24-mile course. Her first 6 miles took 1 hour, the second set of 6 miles took 1.2 hours, the third set of 6 miles took 1.5 hours, and the fourth set of 6 miles took 1.6 hours. How long did it take her to complete the course?

• A. 5.3 hours
• B. 4.5 hours
• C. 6 hours
• D. 7 hours

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total time taken, add the time for each segment: 1 hour + 1.2 hours + 1.5 hours + 1.6 hours = 5.3 hours. Therefore, it took her 5.3 hours to complete the course. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the cumulative time calculated based on the given information.

3. Ratio and proportion 1.2:x=14:42.

• A. 2
• B. 0
• C. 1
• D. 3

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Cross-multiply to solve for 𝑥 x: 1.2 × 42 = 14 𝑥 1.2×42=14x 50.4 = 14 𝑥 50.4=14x 𝑥 = 50.4 14 = 3.6 x= 14 50.4 ​ =3.6

4. Leslie is blowing up her favorite photograph. If the photo's original height was 15 inches and the new height is 4 feet, how many feet must the new width be?

• A. 2.1 feet
• B. 4 feet
• C. 3 feet
• D. 5 feet

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the new width, we need to maintain the aspect ratio of the photo. The original height is 15 inches, which is equivalent to 1.25 feet. If the new height is 4 feet, the scaling factor for the height is 4/1.25 = 3.2. Therefore, to find the new width, we multiply the original width by this scaling factor: 1.25 feet * 3.2 ≈ 4 feet. So, the correct answer is approximately 2.1 feet (4 feet * (15 inches / 4 feet) ≈ 2.1 feet). Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not consider the aspect ratio and calculate the new width incorrectly.

5. 7 is divisible by which of the following numbers?

• A. 2 only
• B. 3 only
• C. 1 and 7 only
• D. 2, 3, and 7

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: 1. 7 is divisible by 1 because every number is divisible by 1. 2. 7 is divisible by 7 because any number is divisible by itself. 3. 7 is not divisible by 2 because 7 is an odd number and not divisible by 2. 4. 7 is not divisible by 3 because the sum of the digits of 7 (7) is not divisible by 3. Therefore, 7 is divisible by 1, 7, and itself (7), making the correct answer D) 2, 3, and 7.
