1. Convert the decimal to a percent: 0.000026

• A. 0.0026%
• B. 0.026%
• C. 2.6%
• D. 26%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percent, you multiply by 100. In this case, 0.000026 * 100 = 0.0026%. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 0.0026%. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they incorrectly place the decimal point, resulting in percentages that are too large.

2. Express 0.025 as a ratio.

• A. 1:40
• B. 4:1
• C. 400:1
• D. 26:40:00

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.025 to a ratio, we can express it as 25:1000 and simplify it by dividing both terms by 25, resulting in 1:40. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (4:1) and C (400:1) do not represent the correct ratio for 0.025. Choice D (26:40:00) is incorrect as it does not follow the standard ratio format of two numbers separated by a colon.

3. An office manager makes photocopies for the entire staff each day. At the end of the week, she finds that the photocopy machine has made a total of 3,475 copies. If 6 people used the copier and each person made the same number of copies, how many copies did each person make?

• A. 579 copies
• B. 680 copies
• C. 670 copies
• D. 585 copies

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find out how many copies each person made, divide the total number of copies made (3,475) by the number of people who used the copier (6). This gives 579 copies per person (3,475 ÷ 6 = 579). Therefore, each person made 579 copies. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not result from the correct division of the total number of copies by the number of people who used the copier.

4. Solve for x: x/5 = 3/10.

• A. x = 0.6
• B. x = 0.6
• C. x = 0.9
• D. x = 1.5

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To solve for x when x/5 = 3/10, you need to cross-multiply. This gives you 10x = 5 × 3. Simplifying further, you get x = 15/10, which reduces to x = 1.5. Therefore, the correct answer is x = 1.5. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not match the correct calculation for x.

5. How many ounces are in 2 quarts?

• A. 8 ounces
• B. 16 ounces
• C. 32 ounces
• D. 64 ounces

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, you need to multiply by 32 (1 quart = 32 ounces). Therefore, 2 quarts x 32 ounces/quart = 64 ounces. Hence, there are 64 ounces in 2 quarts. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion factor from quarts to ounces.
