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. What is the perimeter of a square with a side length of 5 meters?

• A. 15 meters
• B. 20 meters
• C. 25 meters
• D. 30 meters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The formula to calculate the perimeter of a square is P = 4s, where P is the perimeter and s is the length of a side. Given that the side length is 5 meters, the perimeter is 4 * 5 = 20 meters. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choices A (15 meters), C (25 meters), and D (30 meters) are incorrect as they do not correctly apply the formula to calculate the perimeter of a square.

3. Louise wins $25 in a raffle at the fair. She spends $50 on an apple pie and $25 on lemonade. How much of her winnings does she take home?

• A. $12.75
• B. $16.25
• C. $18.25
• D. $19.50

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Louise's total spending is $50 + $25 = $75. To find out how much of her winnings she takes home, we need to subtract her total spending from her winnings: $25 - $75 = -$50. Louise actually loses $50 as she spends more than her winnings. Therefore, she doesn't take home any money and would be in debt by $50. The correct answer is $25 - $75 = -$50, indicating that she does not take home any winnings and is in a deficit.

4. Calculate the product of the following decimals: (0.67)(0.09)

• A. 0.0603
• B. 0.6
• C. 0.603
• D. 0.06

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To multiply decimals, align the numbers as whole numbers, multiply as if they were whole numbers, then adjust the decimal point in the final answer. When multiplying 0.67 by 0.09, the result is 0.0603. To get this result, multiply 67 by 9 to get 603, then adjust the decimal point two places to the left in the final product, resulting in 0.0603. Choice B, 0.6, is incorrect because it does not account for the decimal precision in the multiplication. Choice C, 0.603, is incorrect as it has the digits reversed when compared to the correct answer. Choice D, 0.06, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct product of the two decimals being multiplied.

5. A baseball team won 72 games. This was 90% of the games it played. How many games did it play?

• A. 75
• B. 80
• C. 85
• D. 100

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Let the total number of games be x. If the team won 72 games, which is 90% of the total games played, we can set up the equation: 72 = 0.90 * x. To find x, divide 72 by 0.90: x = 72 / 0.90 = 80 games. Therefore, the baseball team played 80 games in total. Choice A, 75, is incorrect because it is less than 80. Choice C, 85, is incorrect as it is more than 80. Choice D, 100, is incorrect as it is significantly more than the calculated total of 80 games.
