1. A group of 8 friends went out to eat at a restaurant. They decided to split the bill evenly. If the bill totaled $120, how much did each friend pay?

• A. $15
• B. $10
• C. $12
• D. $20

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine how much each friend paid, divide the total bill amount by the number of friends. In this scenario, $120 ÷ 8 friends = $15. Therefore, each friend paid $15. Choice B ($10) is incorrect because dividing $120 by 8 does not yield $10. Choice C ($12) is incorrect because dividing $120 by 8 does not yield $12. Choice D ($20) is incorrect because dividing $120 by 8 does not yield $20.

2. Express 4/5 as a percent.

• A. 20%
• B. 40%
• C. 50%
• D. 80%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert a fraction to a percentage, you multiply the fraction by 100. To express 4/5 as a percent, you perform the calculation 4/5 * 100 = 80%. Therefore, the correct answer is D, 80%. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the correct conversion of 4/5 to a percentage.

3. How many ounces are in 3 pints?

• A. 24 ounces
• B. 48 ounces
• C. 32 ounces
• D. 64 ounces

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find out how many ounces are in 3 pints, you need to multiply the number of pints by the number of ounces in 1 pint. Since there are 16 ounces in 1 pint, 3 pints equal 3 * 16 = 48 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is 48 ounces. Choice A (24 ounces) is incorrect because it miscalculates the conversion. Choice C (32 ounces) is incorrect as it does not correctly apply the conversion factor. Choice D (64 ounces) is incorrect as it doubles the correct answer, showing a misunderstanding of the conversion.

4. Subtract 12 - 7 4\5.

• A. 5 1\5
• B. 5 2\5
• C. 4 5\6
• D. 3 1\3

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Subtract the whole numbers and then subtract the fractions: 12 - 7 4\5 = 5 1\5.

5. Change 1/6 to a percent.

• A. 16.67%
• B. 15%
• C. 14%
• D. 17%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 1/6 to a percentage, you multiply 1/6 by 100. This gives you 16.67%. Choice A is correct. Choice B, 15%, is incorrect as it is the rounded value of 1/6 as a percentage. Choice C, 14%, and Choice D, 17%, are also incorrect as they do not represent the accurate conversion of 1/6 to a percentage.
