1. A woman received a bottle of perfume as a present. The bottle contains 3/4 oz of perfume. How many milliliters is this?
- A. 25 mL
- B. 22.5 mL
- C. 15 mL
- D. 20 mL
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To convert ounces to milliliters, multiply the number of ounces by 29.5735. 3/4 oz × 29.5735 ≈ 22.5 mL. Therefore, the correct answer is 22.5 mL. Choice A (25 mL) is incorrect as it does not result from the correct conversion. Choices C (15 mL) and D (20 mL) are also incorrect conversions.
2. Calculate: (88)(7.08) =
- A. 862.5
- B. 88.040
- C. 64.252
- D. 623.04
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To find the product of 88 and 7.08, simply multiply the two numbers: 88 x 7.08 = 623.04. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not result from the correct multiplication of 88 and 7.08.
3. What is the result of 32 divided by 8/9?
- A. 4 & 1/9
- B. 4
- C. 36
- D. 28 & 4/9
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal. Therefore, dividing 32 by 8/9 is the same as multiplying 32 by 9/8, which equals 36. The correct answer is C. Choice A, 4 & 1/9, is incorrect because the result is a whole number. Choice B, 4, is incorrect as it does not consider the fraction. Choice D, 28 & 4/9, is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 32 by 8/9.
4. Convert 5/8 to a decimal.
- A. 0.625
- B. 0.5
- C. 0.4
- D. 0.75
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To convert 5/8 to a decimal, divide 5 by 8: 5 ÷ 8 = 0.625. The correct answer is A (0.625). Choice B (0.5) is incorrect because it represents 1/2. Choice C (0.4) is incorrect because it represents 2/5. Choice D (0.75) is incorrect because it represents 3/4.
5. Subtract 6 1/2 - 2 2/3.
- A. 4 1/6
- B. 3 1/3
- C. 3 5/6
- D. 4 1/3
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To subtract mixed numbers, find a common denominator. Converting 6 1/2 to 6 3/6 and 2 2/3 to 2 4/6, the calculation becomes 6 3/6 - 2 4/6 = 4 1/6. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (3 1/3) is incorrect as the correct result is not an improper fraction. Choice C (3 5/6) is incorrect as it does not represent the result of the subtraction. Choice D (4 1/3) is incorrect as it does not match the correct calculation.
