1. 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.

2. Find x. 120:x = 40:0.5.

• A. 60
• B. 0
• C. 1
• D. 25

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find x, set up the proportion and solve for x: 120/x = 40/0.5. Cross multiply to get 120 * 0.5 = 40x. This simplifies to 60 = 40x. Divide by 40 to isolate x, giving x = 60/40 = 1. Therefore, the correct answer is C, which is 1. Choice A (60) is incorrect because it does not match the correct calculation. Choice B (0) is incorrect as the calculation results in x = 1, not 0. Choice D (25) is incorrect as it does not match the correct calculation of x = 1.

3. Donna has 4.2 liters of fertilizer. If each pecan tree needs 0.7 liters of fertilizer and Donna uses all the fertilizer, how many pecan trees does Donna have?

• A. 6 trees
• B. 8 trees
• C. 5 trees
• D. 4 trees

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the number of trees, divide the total amount of fertilizer (4.2 liters) by the amount needed for each tree (0.7 liters). 4.2 / 0.7 = 6 trees. Therefore, Donna has 6 pecan trees. Choice A is correct because the calculation is done accurately. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information.

4. How many feet are in 6 meters?

• A. 1.83 feet
• B. 18.48 feet
• C. 18.8 feet
• D. 19.68 feet

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert meters to feet, you can use the conversion factor: 1 meter = 3.28084 feet. Therefore, for 6 meters: 6 × 3.28084 = 19.684 feet. Rounding to two decimal places, the answer is 19.68 feet. Choice D, 19.68 feet, is the correct conversion. Choice A, 1.83 feet, is incorrect as it seems to be a miscalculation. Choice B, 18.48 feet, is incorrect as it doesn't match the correct conversion. Choice C, 18.8 feet, is also incorrect as it is not the accurate conversion from 6 meters to feet.

5. A researcher is collecting data on patient satisfaction. Out of 150 patients surveyed, 120 reported being satisfied with their care. What percentage of the patients were satisfied?

• A. 80%
• B. 75%
• C. 85%
• D. 90%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the percentage of satisfied patients, divide the number of satisfied patients by the total number of patients surveyed and multiply by 100. In this case, 120 (satisfied patients) ÷ 150 (total patients surveyed) x 100 = 80%. Therefore, 80% of the patients were satisfied. Choice B (75%), C (85%), and D (90%) are incorrect percentages as the actual percentage of satisfied patients is 80%.
