1. Which number is larger, 0.5 or 1/3?

• A. 0.5
• B. 1/3
• C. They are equal
• D. Cannot be determined

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To compare 0.5 and 1/3, we can convert 0.5 to a fraction, which is 1/2. When comparing 1/2 and 1/3, we find that 1/2 is greater than 1/3. Therefore, 0.5 is larger than 1/3. Choice B is incorrect as 1/3 is smaller. Choice C is incorrect as the numbers are not equal. Choice D is incorrect as a clear comparison can be made.

2. In a study about anorexia conducted on 100 patients, where 70% were women, and 10% of the men were overweight as children, how many male patients in the study were NOT overweight as children?

• A. 3
• B. 10
• C. 27
• D. 30

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Out of the 100 patients, 30% were men (100 - 70% women), hence 30 men. Since 10% of the men were overweight as children (10% of 30 is 3), the remaining men (30 - 3) were NOT overweight as children, which equals 27. Therefore, the correct answer is 27. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate calculation of the number of male patients who were NOT overweight as children.

3. What are all the factors of 12?

• A. 12, 24, 36
• B. 1, 2, 4, 6, 12
• C. 12, 24, 36, 48
• D. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The factors of 12 are numbers that divide evenly into 12 without leaving a remainder. The correct factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. Choice A (12, 24, 36) is incorrect as only 12 is a factor of 12. Choice B (1, 2, 4, 6, 12) includes all the correct factors of 12. Choice C (12, 24, 36, 48) is incorrect as 24, 36, and 48 are not factors of 12.

4. How many kilometers is 4382 feet?

• A. 1.336 kilometers
• B. 14.376 kilometers
• C. 1.437 kilometers
• D. 13.336 kilometers

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert feet to kilometers, you need to divide the number of feet by 3280.84 (the number of feet in a kilometer). Therefore, 4382 feet is equal to 4382/3280.84 ≈ 1.336 kilometers. Choice B, 14.376 kilometers, is incorrect as it seems to be a miscalculation. Choice C, 1.437 kilometers, is also incorrect, as it is slightly off from the correct conversion. Choice D, 13.336 kilometers, is significantly higher than the correct answer and does not align with the conversion factor.

5. Simplify the following expression: (2/7) ÷ (5/6)

• A. 2/5
• B. 35/15
• C. 5/21
• D. 12/35

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. In this case, (2/7) ÷ (5/6) becomes (2/7) × (6/5) = 12/35. Therefore, the correct answer is 12/35. Choice A (2/5), choice B (35/15), and choice C (5/21) are incorrect because they do not correctly simplify the given expression.
