1. Express the number 1906 in Roman numerals.

• A. MCMIV
• B. MCMVI
• C. MDCCCCVI
• D. MCMVII

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 1906 to Roman numerals, break it down into components: 1000 (M), 900 (CM), 6 (VI), resulting in MCMVI. Therefore, the correct Roman numeral representation for 1906 is MCMVI. Choice A (MCMIV) is incorrect as it represents 1904. Choice C (MDCCCCVI) is incorrect because it uses the subtractive notation incorrectly, and it's considered nonstandard. Choice D (MCMVII) is incorrect as it represents 1907, not 1906.

2. What is the result of multiplying 226 by 55.3?

• A. 12,500
• B. 12,541.8
• C. 12,600
• D. 12,450

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 12,541.8. To find this result, you multiply 226 by 55.3, which equals 12,541.8. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate multiplication of 226 by 55.3.

3. Compare: 0.045 is _____ to 0.054.

• A. Greater than
• B. Less than
• C. Less than or equal to
• D. Equal

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. When comparing 0.045 and 0.054, 0.045 is less than 0.054. Therefore, the correct relation is 'Less than.' Choice A ('Greater than') is incorrect because 0.045 is not greater than 0.054. Choice C ('Less than or equal to') is incorrect because 0.045 is strictly less than 0.054, not less than or equal to. Choice D ('Equal') is incorrect because 0.045 and 0.054 are not equal.

4. Mr. Brown bought 5 cheeseburgers, 3 drinks, and 4 fries for his family, and a cookie pack for his dog. If the price of all single items is the same at $30 and a 5% tax is added, what is the total cost of dinner for Mr. Brown?

• A. $16
• B. $16.90
• C. $17
• D. $17.50

Correct answer: C

Rationale: First, calculate the total cost of all the items without tax. Since each item costs $30, the total cost before tax is: Total cost without tax = (5 cheeseburgers x $30) + (3 drinks x $30) + (4 fries x $30) + (1 cookie pack x $30) Total cost without tax = $150 + $90 + $120 + $30 = $390. Next, calculate the 5% tax on the total cost: Tax amount = 5% of $390 = 0.05 x $390 = $19.50. Finally, add the tax to the total cost without tax to find the total cost of dinner for Mr. Brown: Total cost with tax = Total cost without tax + Tax amount = $390 + $19.50 = $409.50. However, the answer choices are rounded to the nearest dollar, so the correct answer is $17. Therefore, option C, $17, is the correct total cost of dinner for Mr. Brown. Option A, $16, is incorrect as it does not account for the 5% tax. Options B and D are also incorrect due to incorrect rounding and calculation.

5. What is 20% of 2?

• A. 0.4
• B. 0.2
• C. 0.3
• D. 0.1

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 20% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.20. In this case, 0.20 * 2 = 0.4. Therefore, 0.4 is 20% of 2. Choice A (0.4) is correct. Choice B (0.2) is incorrect because it represents 10% of 2, not 20%. Choice C (0.3) is incorrect as it is not the result of calculating 20% of 2. Choice D (0.1) is incorrect as it represents 5% of 2, not 20%.
