1. What is the probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die?

• A. 50%
• B. 66.70%
• C. 33.30%
• D. 25%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A six-sided die has three odd numbers (1, 3, 5) out of six possible outcomes. To calculate the probability, divide the number of favorable outcomes (odd numbers) by the total number of outcomes: 3/6 = 0.5 or 50%. Therefore, the probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die is 50%. Choice A is correct. Choice B (66.70%) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die. Choice C (33.30%) is incorrect as it represents the probability of rolling an even number. Choice D (25%) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die.

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. Multiply: 52 × 04 =

• A. 0.00208
• B. 0.0208
• C. 0.208
• D. 2.08

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To multiply 52 by 04, you first multiply the two numbers together: 52 x 4 = 208. Since there are two decimal places in the expression, you need to divide the result by 100, which gives you 0.0208. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (0.00208) is incorrect because it represents a much smaller value obtained by considering the decimal incorrectly. Choice C (0.208) is incorrect because it does not account for the decimal placement. Choice D (2.08) is incorrect as it does not consider the requirement to convert the result into decimal form.

4. A man is reading. He reads two chapters a day. How long will it take if there are 6 pages per chapter and 798 pages total?

• A. 66 & 1/2
• B. 399
• C. 75 & 1/2
• D. 133

Correct answer: A

Rationale: First, calculate how many pages the man reads per day. Since he reads two chapters a day and each chapter has 6 pages: 2 chapters/day × 6 pages/chapter = 12 pages/day Now, divide the total number of pages by the number of pages he reads per day: 798 pages ÷ 12 pages/day = 66 1/2 days Thus, it will take him 66 & 1/2 days to finish the book. Therefore, the correct answer is A. 66 & 1/2. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation based on the given information.

5. Gerald can bake 3 dozen cookies in 30 minutes. How long will it take him to bake 12 dozen cookies?

• A. 90 minutes
• B. 1 hour 40 minutes
• C. 2 hours
• D. 4 hours

Correct answer: B

Rationale: If Gerald can bake 3 dozen cookies in 30 minutes, then he can bake 1 dozen cookies in 10 minutes (30 minutes / 3 = 10 minutes). To bake 12 dozen cookies, it would take him 120 minutes (12 dozen x 10 minutes = 120 minutes), which is equivalent to 1 hour and 40 minutes. Choice A (90 minutes) is incorrect because it does not account for the correct proportion of cookies baked. Choice C (2 hours) and Choice D (4 hours) are incorrect as they overestimate the time required based on the given information.
