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. Farmer Juan has 14 acres with an average yield of 17460 eggs per acre. The profit per egg is $1.65. What profit should Farmer Juan expect?

• A. $403,326
• B. $148,145.45
• C. $244,440
• D. $2,057.79

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate Farmer Juan's profit, multiply the number of acres (14) by the yield per acre (17460 eggs) and by the profit per egg ($1.65): 14 acres * 17460 eggs * $1.65 = $403,326. Therefore, Farmer Juan should expect a profit of $403,326. Choice A is correct as it accurately calculates the total profit based on the given information. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly compute the total profit from the provided data.

3. Which of the following numbers is the largest? (0.667, 0.68, 0.6, 0.0688)

• A. 0.667
• B. 0.68
• C. 0.6
• D. 0.0688

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine the largest number among the given decimals, compare them. 0.68 is the largest number as it is greater than 0.667, 0.6, and 0.0688. The correct answer is 0.68 because it has the highest value. The other options are smaller: 0.667 is less than 0.68, 0.6 is less than 0.68, and 0.0688 is significantly smaller than 0.68.

4. A scientific illustrator uses a scale of 3:1 for drawings of insects. If the length of a cicada in the drawing is 6 centimeters, how long is the actual cicada in real life?

• A. 18 centimeters
• B. 6.3 centimeters
• C. 4.6 centimeters
• D. 4.2 centimeters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The scale of 3:1 means that for every 3 centimeters in the drawing, it represents 1 centimeter in real life. If the length of the cicada in the drawing is 6 centimeters, in real life, it would be 6 x 3 = 18 centimeters long. Therefore, the actual length of the cicada in real life is 18 centimeters. Choice B, 6.3 centimeters, is incorrect because it does not account for the scale factor. Choices C and D, 4.6 centimeters and 4.2 centimeters respectively, are also incorrect as they do not consider the 3:1 scale used in the drawing.

5. What is the probability of rolling a 2 on a six-sided die?

• A. 1/6
• B. 1/4
• C. 1/3
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1/6. A six-sided die has one face with a '2' out of six possible outcomes (numbers 1 to 6). Therefore, the probability of rolling a 2 is 1/6. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the specific probability of rolling a 2 on a six-sided die.
