1. What is 0.9 divided by 3?

• A. 0
• B. 3
• C. 0.3
• D. 9

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the result of dividing 0.9 by 3, we perform the division operation, which equals 0.3. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.3. Choice A (0) is incorrect as the result is not zero, but 0.3. Choice B (3) is incorrect as 0.9 divided by 3 is not 3 but 0.3. Choice D (9) is incorrect as 0.9 divided by 3 is not 9 but 0.3.

2. Jan canned 5 gallons of homemade tomatoes. She needs to purchase quart jars to finish the process. How many quart jars will she need to buy for her tomatoes?

• A. 10
• B. 15
• C. 20
• D. 25

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To determine the number of quart jars needed, we first need to convert the gallons to quarts. Since 1 gallon equals 4 quarts, 5 gallons will be equal to 5 * 4 = 20 quarts. Therefore, Jan will need to buy 20 quart jars to store her canned tomatoes. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly convert the gallons to quarts, leading to an incorrect quantity of jars required.

3. Subtract 17 2\3 - 8 5\9.

• A. 8 4\9
• B. 9 1\9
• C. 8 3\9
• D. 8 4\9

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Find a common denominator to subtract: 17 2\3 - 8 5\9 = 9 1\9.

4. Solve for y if y = 3: 4y + 21/y

• A. 19
• B. 7.7
• C. 23/3
• D. 11

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the expression 4y + 21/y when y = 3, substitute y = 3: 4 * 3 + 21 / 3 = 12 + 7 = 19. Therefore, the correct answer is 19. Choice A, '19,' is the correct result of the expression when y = 3. Choice B, '7.7,' is incorrect as the correct answer is an integer, not a decimal. Choice C, '23/3,' is incorrect as it is not the simplified integer result of the expression. Choice D, '11,' is incorrect as it does not result from the given expression when y = 3.

5. A circular bandage has a diameter of 6cm. What is the area covered by the bandage (area of a circle = πr^2)?

• A. 9π cm^2
• B. 18π cm^2
• C. 27π cm^2
• D. 36π cm^2

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: - The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle. - The diameter of the circular bandage is 6 cm, so the radius (r) is half of the diameter, which is 6/2 = 3 cm. - Substitute the radius (r = 3 cm) into the formula for the area of a circle: A = π(3)^2 = 9π cm^2. - Therefore, the area covered by the bandage is 9π cm^2.
