1. Add 2\3 + 1\6 + 2\5.
- A. 1 & 7\30
- B. 1 & 1\15
- C. 2\5
- D. 3\4

- C. 10%
- D. 25%
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the percentage of 8 in 40, divide 8 by 40 to get 0.2. Multiply this result by 100 to convert it to a percentage: 0.2 × 100 = 10%. Therefore, 8 is 10% of 40, making choice C the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect percentages calculated from incorrect divisions and multiplications.
3. Solve for x if x=11. x+(44/2x)
- A. 2.5
- B. 33
- C. 55
- D. 13
Correct answer: A
Rationale: Substitute x=11 into the expression: 11 + (44 / 2*11) = 11 + (44 / 22) = 11 + 2 = 13 Therefore, the correct answer is 13. Choice A (2.5) is incorrect as the correct result is 13, not 2.5. Choice B (33) is incorrect because it does not result from the given expression. Choice C (55) is incorrect as it does not match the calculated value. Choice D (13) is incorrect because the correct solution is 13, not 2.5.
