1. What is the result of the expression 4/5 + 6/7?

• A. 1 23/35
• B. 2 5/7
• C. 1 1/7
• D. 1 3/4

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions with different denominators, you first need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator for 5 and 7 is 35. Then, convert each fraction to have a denominator of 35. 4/5 becomes 28/35, and 6/7 becomes 30/35. Adding these fractions together gives 58/35, which simplifies to 1 23/35. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 1 23/35. Choice B, 2 5/7, is incorrect because it does not match the correct result. Choice C, 1 1/7, is incorrect as it is not the simplified form of the sum of the fractions. Choice D, 1 3/4, is incorrect as it is a different result and not the sum of 4/5 and 6/7.

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. A honeycomb cell has six equal sides, each measuring 8mm. What is its perimeter?

• A. 32mm
• B. 40mm
• C. 48mm
• D. 56mm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the perimeter of a shape with equal sides, you multiply the length of one side by the number of sides. In this case, the honeycomb cell has 6 sides, each measuring 8mm. Therefore, the perimeter is calculated as perimeter = number of sides * side length = 6 * 8mm = 48mm. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the total length around the honeycomb cell with six sides.

4. How many centimeters are there in 1 foot?

• A. 4.72 centimeters
• B. 10 centimeters
• C. 25.4 centimeters
• D. 30.48 centimeters

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert feet to centimeters, you need to consider that there are 2.54 centimeters in an inch. Since a foot is equal to 12 inches, you multiply 12 inches by 2.54 to get 30.48 centimeters. Therefore, there are 30.48 centimeters in 1 foot. Choice A (4.72 centimeters) is incorrect as it does not use the correct conversion factor. Choice B (10 centimeters) is incorrect as it is not the accurate conversion for 1 foot. Choice C (25.4 centimeters) is incorrect as it corresponds to 10 inches, not 1 foot.

5. Multiply: 52 × 04 =

• A. 0.00208
• B. 0.0208
• C. 0.208
• D. 2.08

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To multiply 52 by 04, you first multiply the two numbers together: 52 x 4 = 208. Since there are two decimal places in the expression, you need to divide the result by 100, which gives you 0.0208. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (0.00208) is incorrect because it represents a much smaller value obtained by considering the decimal incorrectly. Choice C (0.208) is incorrect because it does not account for the decimal placement. Choice D (2.08) is incorrect as it does not consider the requirement to convert the result into decimal form.
