1. What is the percentage equivalent of 0.0016?

• A. 16%
• B. 160%
• C. 1.60%
• D. 0.16%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percentage, you multiply by 100. Therefore, to find the percentage equivalent of 0.0016, you would multiply 0.0016 by 100 to get 0.16%. This means that choice D, '0.16%', is the correct answer. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not correctly represent the percentage equivalent of 0.0016.

2. Which of the following lists is in order from least to greatest? (1/7), 0.125, (6/9), 0.60

• A. (1/7), 0.125, (6/9), 0.60
• B. (1/7), 0.125, 0.60, (6/9)
• C. 0.125, (1/7), 0.60, 6/9
• D. 0.125, (1/7), (6/9), 0.60

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To determine the order from least to greatest, convert all fractions to decimals and compare them. Converting the fractions: (1/7) ≈ 0.14, (6/9) ≈ 0.67. The decimals in order from least to greatest are: 0.125 < 0.14 < 0.60 < 0.67. Therefore, the correct order is 0.125, (1/7), 0.60, 6/9, making choice C the correct answer. Choice A is incorrect as it lists (1/7) before 0.125. Choice B is incorrect as it places 0.60 before (6/9). Choice D is incorrect as it lists (6/9) before 0.60.

3. Express 18/5 as a reduced mixed number.

• A. 3 3/5
• B. 3 1/15
• C. 3 1/18
• D. 3 1/54

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert the improper fraction 18/5 to a mixed number, divide 18 by 5. The quotient is 3 with a remainder of 3, which translates to 3 3/5. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the conversion of 18/5 to a mixed number.

4. What is the range in the number of flights made per month by the flight attendant?

• A. 20
• B. 25
• C. 29
• D. 32

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The range is calculated by finding the difference between the highest and lowest values. In this case, the highest number of flights made per month is 32, and the lowest is 3. Therefore, the range is 32 - 3 = 29. Choice C, '29', is the correct answer. Choice A, '20', Choice B, '25', and Choice D, '32', are incorrect as they are individual data points and do not represent the range, which is a measure of spread between the highest and lowest values.

5. Which statement about multiplication and division is true?

• A. The product of the quotient and the dividend is the divisor.
• B. The product of the dividend and the divisor is the quotient.
• C. The product of the quotient and the divisor is the dividend.
• D. None of the above.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In division, the dividend is the number being divided, the divisor is the number you are dividing by, and the quotient is the result. Multiplying the quotient by the divisor gives the original dividend. This is the reverse of the division operation. Therefore, the correct statement is that the product of the quotient and the divisor equals the dividend, making option C correct. Choices A and B provide incorrect relationships between the terms dividend, divisor, quotient, and product, making them inaccurate. Option D is a general statement that does not provide the correct relationship between multiplication and division terms.
