1. What is 60% of 90?

• A. 54
• B. 58
• C. 60
• D. 65

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 60% of 90, you multiply 90 by 0.60 (which is the decimal form of 60%). So, 90 * 0.60 = 54. Therefore, 60% of 90 is 54. Choice A is correct. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation for finding 60% of 90.

2. Rectangle: A picture frame measures 15cm by 20cm. What is its perimeter?

• A. 30cm
• B. 55cm
• C. 65cm
• D. 75cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you add the lengths of all sides. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2 * (length + width). In this case, the length is 15cm and the width is 20cm. Therefore, the perimeter = 2 * (15cm + 20cm) = 65cm. Choice A (30cm), Choice B (55cm), and Choice D (75cm) are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the perimeter of the given rectangle.

3. How many pints are in 56 ounces?

• A. 3
• B. 3.5
• C. 7
• D. 8

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find out how many pints are in 56 ounces, you need to divide 56 by 16 (as there are 16 ounces in a pint). This results in 3.5 pints, making choice B the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the conversion from ounces to pints.

4. What is the result of dividing 4 7/8 by 1 1/6?

• A. 4 5/28
• B. 4 7/8
• C. 5 8/14
• D. 5 3/28

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To divide mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions and then multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. Here, 4 7/8 = 39/8 and 1 1/6 = 7/6. Dividing 39/8 by 7/6 gives 39/8 ÷ 7/6 = 39/8 * 6/7 = 234/56 = 4 5/28. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct result of dividing 4 7/8 by 1 1/6.

5. Convert 2/5 to a decimal.

• A. 0.5
• B. 0.25
• C. 0.4
• D. 0.5

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert 2/5 to a decimal, you divide the numerator (2) by the denominator (5): 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4. Therefore, the correct decimal representation of 2/5 is 0.4. Choice A (0.5) is incorrect because it represents 1/2, not 2/5. Choice B (0.25) is incorrect as it represents 1/4, not 2/5. Choice D (0.5) is incorrect as it also represents 1/2, not 2/5.
