1. What is the result of adding 1/2 + 4/5?

• A. 1 3/10
• B. 1/2/2024
• C. 1 2/5
• D. 1 1/5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions, you need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 10. So, 1/2 + 4/5 = 5/10 + 8/10 = 13/10 = 1 3/10. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 1 3/10. Choice B, 1/2/2024, is incorrect as it does not represent the sum of the fractions given. Choice C, 1 2/5, is incorrect as it does not match the sum calculated. Choice D, 1 1/5, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct sum of the fractions provided.

2. A rectangular bandage measures 5cm by 8cm. What is the area covered by the bandage?

• A. 10cm
• B. 13cm
• C. 40cm^2
• D. 64cm^2

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length by the width. In this case, the length of the bandage is 8cm and the width is 5cm. Area = length x width Area = 8cm x 5cm Area = 40cm^2 Therefore, the area covered by the bandage is 40cm^2.

3. What is the result of dividing 3.44 by 0.6?

• A. 11.41
• B. 5.73
• C. 2.33
• D. 0.57

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 5.73. When dividing 3.44 by 0.6, the calculation is 3.44 ÷ 0.6 = 5.73. Choice A (11.41) is incorrect because it is the result of multiplying, not dividing. Choice C (2.33) and Choice D (0.57) are also incorrect results obtained by incorrect calculations.

4. Convert 104°F to Celsius.

• A. 40°C
• B. 42°C
• C. 39°C
• D. 35°C

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula: °C = (°F - 32) x 5/9. Plugging in the value, °C = (104 - 32) x 5/9 = 72 x 5/9 = 40°C. Therefore, 104°F is equal to 40°C. Choice A is correct. Choice B is incorrect as it is not the result of the conversion. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the result of the conversion. Choice D is incorrect as it is not the result of the conversion.

5. Multiply 12 by 15 and express the result as a decimal:

• A. 0.0018
• B. 0.018
• C. 0.18
• D. 1.8

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the product of 12 and 15, you simply multiply them together. 12 multiplied by 15 equals 180. To express 180 as a decimal, you divide by 100. Therefore, the correct answer is 1.8. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they represent values that are not the correct result of multiplying 12 by 15 and converting it to a decimal.
