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

2. Simplify the following expression:

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To simplify the given expression, start by performing the division first: (2/3) ÷ (4/15) = (2/3) × (15/4) = 30/12 = 5/2. Next, multiply this result by 5/8: 5/2 × 5/8 = 25/16 = 1 9/16. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (1 1/4) is incorrect as it does not match the simplified result. Choice C (2 1/8) is incorrect as it does not represent the simplified expression. Choice D (2) is incorrect as it does not account for the fractions in the original expression.

3. How many millimeters are in a meter?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 1,000 mm. This is because there are 1,000 millimeters in a meter. To convert from meters to millimeters, you need to multiply by 1,000. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. A meter is equivalent to 1,000 millimeters, not 100 (A), 10,000 (C), or 100,000 (D) millimeters.

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

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.

5. A lab technician took 100 hairs from a patient to conduct several tests. The technician used 1/7 of the hairs for a drug test. How many hairs were used for the drug test? (Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.)

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find how many hairs were used for the drug test, you need to calculate 1/7 of 100. 1/7 of 100 is 14.2857, which rounds to 14.29 when rounded to the nearest hundredth. Therefore, 14.29 hairs were used for the drug test. Choice A is incorrect as it does not account for rounding to the nearest hundredth. Choices B and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the calculated value after rounding.
