1. Convert the percentage to a decimal: 38% =

• A. 0.38
• B. 3.8
• C. 0.038
• D. 38.0

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a percentage to a decimal, you divide by 100. In this case, 38% divided by 100 equals 0.38. Moving the decimal point two places to the left converts the percentage to a decimal. Choice B is incorrect because it incorrectly moves the decimal point one place to the left. Choice C is incorrect as it moves the decimal point three places to the left. Choice D is incorrect as it does not convert the percentage to a decimal.

2. How many centimeters are in 6 meters?

• A. 600 cm
• B. 60 cm
• C. 1000 cm
• D. 500 cm

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert meters to centimeters, you need to multiply the number of meters by 100 since there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter. Therefore, 6 meters is equal to 6 * 100 = 600 cm. Choice A is correct. Choice B (60 cm) is incorrect because it represents the conversion of 0.6 meters to centimeters. Choice C (1000 cm) is incorrect because it represents the conversion of 10 meters to centimeters. Choice D (500 cm) is incorrect because it is halfway between the conversions of 5 meters (500 cm) and 6 meters (600 cm).

3. Round to the nearest whole number: What is 18% of 600?

• A. 108
• B. 76
• C. 254
• D. 176

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 18% of 600, you multiply 600 by 0.18, which equals 108. Since 108 is already a whole number, when rounding to the nearest whole number, it remains the same. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct calculation for finding 18% of 600.

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. A stop sign has five equal sides, each measuring 25cm. What is its perimeter?

• A. 100cm
• B. 125cm
• C. 150cm
• D. 175cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: - Since a stop sign has five equal sides, each measuring 25cm, the perimeter can be calculated by adding up the lengths of all five sides. - Perimeter = 25cm + 25cm + 25cm + 25cm + 25cm = 125cm - Therefore, the perimeter of the stop sign is 125cm.
