1. What is the result of dividing 152 by 2?

• A. 0.0116
• B. 0.116
• C. 76
• D. 11.6

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To divide 152 by 2, you perform the division operation, which is 152 ÷ 2 = 76. The correct answer is 76. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Choice A, 0.0116, is the result of dividing 1 by 152 instead of 152 by 2. Choice B, 0.116, is the result of dividing 1.52 by 2. Choice D, 11.6, is the result of multiplying 152 by 2.

2. What is the result of 0.003 x 4.23?

• A. 0.01269
• B. 0.01029
• C. 0.01419
• D. 0.01329

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the product of 0.003 and 4.23, multiply the two numbers: 0.003 x 4.23 = 0.01269. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 0.01269. Choice B, 0.01029, is incorrect as it is the result of a different calculation. Choice C, 0.01419, is incorrect because it is not the product of 0.003 and 4.23. Choice D, 0.01329, is also incorrect as it does not represent the correct multiplication result.

3. Multiply 0.05 by 22 and express the result as a decimal:

• A. 1.1
• B. 0.11
• C. 0.011
• D. 0.0011

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When multiplying 0.05 by 22, you get 1.10. To express this result as a decimal, you move the decimal point two places to the left since there are two total decimal places in the question (one in 0.05 and none in 22), resulting in 0.011. Choice A (1.1) incorrectly adds a decimal place, choice B (0.11) incorrectly moves the decimal point only one place, and choice D (0.0011) adds an extra zero.

4. The price dropped from $200 to $150. By what percentage did the price decrease?

• A. 5%
• B. 10%
• C. 20%
• D. 25%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The difference between the original price ($200) and the new price ($150) is $50. To find the percentage decrease, divide the difference by the original price and multiply by 100: ($50 / $200) × 100 = 25%. Therefore, the correct answer is D, meaning the price decreased by 25%. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the percentage decrease in price.

5. How many ounces are in 3 quarts?

• A. 64 ounces
• B. 32 ounces
• C. 48 ounces
• D. 96 ounces

Correct answer: D

Rationale: There are 32 ounces in a quart. Therefore, 3 quarts would be equal to 3 quarts x 32 ounces = 96 ounces. The correct answer is D. Choice A, 64 ounces, is incorrect as it miscalculates the conversion from quarts to ounces. Choice B, 32 ounces, is the conversion for 1 quart, not 3 quarts. Choice C, 48 ounces, is also an incorrect calculation, not considering the correct conversion rate.
