1. Change the following percentage to a decimal: 76.3%

• A. 0.0763
• B. 7
• C. 0.763
• D. 7.63

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide by 100. In this case, to convert 76.3% to a decimal, you move the decimal point two places to the left, resulting in 0.763. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (0.0763) is incorrect as it represents 7.63% as a decimal. Choice B (7) and Choice D (7.63) are not correct conversions of the given percentage to a decimal.

2. When a die is rolled, what is the probability of rolling an odd number?

• A. 16.67%
• B. 33.33%
• C. 75%
• D. 50%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When a die is rolled, there are 3 odd numbers (1, 3, 5) out of a total of 6 possible outcomes. The probability of rolling an odd number is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (3) by the total number of outcomes (6), resulting in a probability of 3/6 or 50%. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct probability calculation for rolling an odd number on a standard six-sided die.

3. What is three tenths of 90?

• A. 18
• B. 45
• C. 27
• D. 36

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find three tenths of 90, you need to multiply 90 by 0.3 (since three tenths equals 0.3). Therefore, 90 * 0.3 = 27. This calculation shows that the correct answer is 27. Choice A (18), choice B (45), and choice D (36) are incorrect as they do not represent three tenths of 90.

4. What is the result of subtracting 4.7 from 9.5?

• A. 4.8
• B. 4.9
• C. 4.6
• D. 4.7

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct subtraction is 9.5 - 4.7 = 4.8. Therefore, the correct answer is 4.8. Choice B (4.9) is incorrect because 9.5 - 4.7 is not equal to 4.9. Choice C (4.6) is incorrect as it is not the result of subtracting 4.7 from 9.5. Choice D (4.7) is the number being subtracted and not the result of the subtraction.

5. Convert the decimal 0.98 to a percent.

• A. 98%
• B. 9%
• C. 98
• D. 99%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percent, you multiply the decimal by 100. In this case, 0.98 × 100 = 98%. Therefore, the correct answer is A, which is 98%. Choice B (9%) is incorrect as it results from an error in calculation. Choice C (98) is incorrect as it lacks the percent symbol. Choice D (99%) is incorrect as it is not the equivalent percentage of 0.98.
