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. A store is offering a 25% discount on all items. If an item costs $120, what is the discounted price?

• A. $90
• B. $80
• C. $75
• D. $95

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the discounted price after a 25% discount on $120, you first find the discount amount by multiplying $120 by 0.25, which equals $30. Subtracting the discount amount from the original price gives the discounted price: $120 - $30 = $90. Therefore, the correct answer is $90. Choice B, $80, is incorrect as it does not consider the 25% discount. Choice C, $75, is incorrect as it is lower than the correct calculation. Choice D, $95, is incorrect as it does not reflect the reduction from the discount.

3. Express the number 1906 in Roman numerals.

• A. MCMIV
• B. MCMVI
• C. MDCCCCVI
• D. MCMVII

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 1906 to Roman numerals, break it down into components: 1000 (M), 900 (CM), 6 (VI), resulting in MCMVI. Therefore, the correct Roman numeral representation for 1906 is MCMVI. Choice A (MCMIV) is incorrect as it represents 1904. Choice C (MDCCCCVI) is incorrect because it uses the subtractive notation incorrectly, and it's considered nonstandard. Choice D (MCMVII) is incorrect as it represents 1907, not 1906.

4. If a parent changes their baby 6 times a day, how many diapers will be needed in a year?

• A. 2190 diapers
• B. 2100 diapers
• C. 2160 diapers
• D. 2140 diapers

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the number of diapers needed in a year with 6 diaper changes per day, multiply the daily diaper changes (6) by the days in a year (365): 6 x 365 = 2190 diapers required. This calculation ensures an ample supply of diapers for maintaining the infant's hygiene and comfort. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately account for the number of diaper changes per day multiplied by the days in a year. Choice B (2100 diapers) is too low, while choices C (2160 diapers) and D (2140 diapers) are too high based on the calculation. Understanding the frequency and quantity of diaper changes is crucial for supporting the infant's health and well-being. Therefore, the correct answer is 2190 diapers.

5. How many inches are in 3.5 yards?

• A. 126 inches
• B. 144 inches
• C. 132 inches
• D. 120 inches

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert yards to inches, we use the conversion factor that 1 yard is equal to 36 inches. Therefore, 3.5 yards is equal to 3.5 multiplied by 36, which equals 126 inches. The correct answer is 126 inches. Choices B (144 inches), C (132 inches), and D (120 inches) are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the conversion from yards to inches using the conversion factor of 1 yard equals 36 inches.
