1. Which of these percentages equals 1.25?

• A. 1250%
• B. 25%
• C. 50%
• D. 125%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert 1.25 to a percentage, multiply by 100. Therefore, 1.25 equals 125%. The correct answer is D because 125% is the percentage that represents 1.25. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. A (1250%) is 10 times greater than the correct answer, B (25%) is 100 times smaller, and C (50%) is 2 times smaller than the correct percentage equivalent of 1.25.

2. 5 1\3 + 3 1\2.

• A. 8 5/6
• B. 9
• C. 7
• D. 8

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 5 1\3 + 3 1\2 equals 8 5\6.

3. What is three tenths of 90?

• A. 18
• B. 45
• C. 27
• D. 36

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find three tenths of 90, you need to multiply 90 by 0.3 (since three tenths equals 0.3). Therefore, 90 * 0.3 = 27. This calculation shows that the correct answer is 27. Choice A (18), choice B (45), and choice D (36) are incorrect as they do not represent three tenths of 90.

4. Express the ratio of 6:7 as a percentage.

• A. 67%
• B. 76%
• C. 86%
• D. 93%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To express the ratio 6:7 as a percentage, we first need to find the total parts in the ratio, which is 6 + 7 = 13. To convert this ratio to a percentage, divide the part you want to find the percentage for by the total parts, then multiply by 100. In this case, to find the percentage for 6 in the ratio 6:7, the calculation would be (6/13) * 100 = 46.15%. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 67%. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect percentages as they do not result from the correct calculation for the given ratio.

5. Imaginary unit multiples are used to represent numbers that cannot be obtained on the number line. Which of the following is equivalent to 5i?

• A. -5
• B. i^5
• C. 5√-1
• D. 1/5i

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: - The imaginary unit, denoted as "i," is defined as the square root of -1. - Therefore, 5i can be expressed as 5 times the square root of -1, which is equivalent to 5√-1. - Option A, -5, is a real number and not an imaginary unit multiple. - Option B, i^5, is equal to i because i raised to any power that is a multiple of 4 results in 1, and i^5 is equivalent to i. - Option D, 1/5i, is the reciprocal of 5i and not equivalent to 5i.
