1. Add and simplify: 4⅔ + 6½ =
- A. 11⅙
- B. 10⅓
- C. 9⅙
- D. 9
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To add 4⅔ and 6½, we first need to convert the fractions to have the same denominator. Converting 4⅔ to 6ths gives us 8/6, and 6½ to 6ths gives us 7/2. Adding them together gives 15/2, which simplifies to 7½ or 9⅙. Therefore, the correct answer is 9⅙. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct sum of the fractions after conversion and simplification.
2. Divide: 11 ÷ 5 =
- A. 1.424
- B. 1.622
- C. 2.2
- D. 2
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To divide 11 by 5, you need to perform the division operation. 11 divided by 5 equals 2.2. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (1.424) and Choice B (1.622) are incorrect as they do not result from the division of 11 by 5. Choice D (2) is close but not accurate, as the exact result of 11 divided by 5 is 2.2.
3. What is 33% of 300?
- A. 3
- B. 9
- C. 33
- D. 99
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To find 33% of 300, you multiply 300 by 0.33 (which is the decimal equivalent of 33%). 300 * 0.33 = 99. Therefore, 33% of 300 equals 99. Choice A (3) is incorrect as it is too small for 33% of 300. Choice B (9) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct calculation for finding 33% of 300. Choice C (33) is incorrect as it represents the percentage value itself, not the result of calculating 33% of 300.
4. A man can type 45 words per minute. How many words can he type in 20 minutes?
- A. 875 words
- B. 800 words
- C. 900 words
- D. 875 words
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To calculate the total number of words typed in 20 minutes, multiply the typing speed per minute (45 words) by the duration in minutes (20 minutes): 45 words/min × 20 min = 900 words. Therefore, the correct answer is 900 words. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the given information.
5. Multiply: 32 × 5 and express the result in decimal form.
- A. 0.0016
- B. 0.016
- C. 0.16
- D. 1.6
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To find the product of 32 and 5, you simply multiply the two numbers: 32 × 5 = 160. Therefore, when expressed in decimal form, the answer is 1.6. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the correct multiplication result in decimal form. Choice A is way too small, choice B is also too small, and choice C is close but still not the correct result.
