1. What is 70% of 110?

• A. 77
• B. 79
• C. 81
• D. 83

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find 70% of 110, you need to multiply 110 by 0.7. Therefore, 110 * 0.7 = 77. The correct answer is 81, not 77. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they are not the product of multiplying 110 by 0.7, which is the correct method for finding 70% of 110.

2. Change the following decimal to a percent: 0.09

• A. 9%
• B. 90%
• C. 1%
• D. 0%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percentage, you multiply by 100. Therefore, 0.09 * 100 = 9%. The correct answer is A. Choice B (90%) is incorrect because multiplying 0.09 by 100 does not equal 90%. Choices C (1%) and D (0%) are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion of 0.09 to a percentage.

3. What is 0.9 divided by 3?

• A. 0
• B. 3
• C. 0.3
• D. 9

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the result of dividing 0.9 by 3, we perform the division operation, which equals 0.3. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.3. Choice A (0) is incorrect as the result is not zero, but 0.3. Choice B (3) is incorrect as 0.9 divided by 3 is not 3 but 0.3. Choice D (9) is incorrect as 0.9 divided by 3 is not 9 but 0.3.

4. If Gwen's favorite summer drink is 2 parts fruit juice to 3 parts seltzer and she starts with a gallon of fruit juice, how many quarts of seltzer will she need?

• A. 3 quarts
• B. 4.5 quarts
• C. 5 quarts
• D. 6 quarts

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To maintain the ratio of 2 parts fruit juice to 3 parts seltzer, for every 2 parts of fruit juice, Gwen will need 3 parts of seltzer. Since a gallon of fruit juice is equivalent to 4 quarts, she will need 3 quarts of seltzer for every 2 quarts of fruit juice. For 4 quarts of fruit juice, she will require 6 quarts of seltzer. Therefore, Gwen will need 6 quarts of seltzer to make the summer drink for her friends. Choice A (3 quarts) is incorrect because it does not account for the correct ratio. Choice B (4.5 quarts) is incorrect because it is not a whole number and does not align with the ratio provided. Choice C (5 quarts) is incorrect as it does not match the proportional ratio of fruit juice to seltzer required.

5. How many feet are in 2 miles?

• A. 5280 feet
• B. 15840 feet
• C. 10560 feet
• D. 10200 feet

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert miles to feet, multiply the number of miles by the conversion factor of feet per mile. Since there are 5280 feet in 1 mile, to find the number of feet in 2 miles, you multiply 2 by 5280, resulting in 10560 feet. Choice A, 5280 feet, is the conversion factor for 1 mile, not for 2 miles. Choices B and D are incorrect calculations that do not follow the conversion factor correctly.
