1. Divide: 727 ÷ 6 =

• A. 120 r1
• B. 120 r3
• C. 121 r1
• D. 127 r3

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When dividing 727 by 6, the quotient is 121 with a remainder of 1. The correct answer is, therefore, 121 r1. Choice A (120 r1) is incorrect as the quotient is 121, not 120. Choice B (120 r3) is also incorrect as the remainder should be 1, not 3. Choice D (127 r3) is incorrect as both the quotient and remainder are different from the correct values obtained by dividing 727 by 6.

2. Olivia’s Bakery gives out one extra cupcake for each dozen sold, to make a “baker’s dozen” of 13 in all. How many extra cupcakes does the bakery add to a special order of 180 cupcakes?

• A. 12
• B. 13
• C. 14
• D. 15

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Olivia’s Bakery gives out one extra cupcake for each dozen sold. For a special order of 180 cupcakes, there would be 180 cupcakes ÷ 12 cupcakes per dozen = 15 dozens. Therefore, the bakery adds 15 extra cupcakes to make a 'baker's dozen' of 13 in all for each dozen, resulting in a total of 15 extra cupcakes added to the special order. The correct answer is 13 (choice B) because the bakery adds one extra cupcake to each dozen, making a 'baker's dozen' of 13.

3. How many digits are in the Hindu-Arabic numeral system?

• A. Two
• B. Ten
• C. Twelve
• D. Twenty

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The Hindu-Arabic numeral system consists of ten digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. These ten digits are used as the fundamental symbols to represent numbers in this numerical system. Choice A, 'Two,' is incorrect as there are more than two digits in the system. Choice C, 'Twelve,' is incorrect as it exceeds the total number of digits in the system. Choice D, 'Twenty,' is incorrect as it overestimates the number of digits present in the Hindu-Arabic numeral system.

4. A researcher is collecting data on patient satisfaction. Out of 150 patients surveyed, 120 reported being satisfied with their care. What percentage of the patients were satisfied?

• A. 80%
• B. 75%
• C. 85%
• D. 90%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the percentage of satisfied patients, divide the number of satisfied patients by the total number of patients surveyed and multiply by 100. In this case, 120 (satisfied patients) ÷ 150 (total patients surveyed) x 100 = 80%. Therefore, 80% of the patients were satisfied. Choice B (75%), C (85%), and D (90%) are incorrect percentages as the actual percentage of satisfied patients is 80%.

5. Subtract 15 3/4 - 8 2/5.

• A. 7 7/20
• B. 6 7/20
• C. 9 1/5
• D. 8 2/5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To subtract mixed numbers, find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 20. Convert 15 3/4 to 15 15/20. Then, subtract 15 15/20 - 8 8/20 = 7 7/20. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B is incorrect as it does not match the result of the subtraction. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the result of the subtraction. Choice D is incorrect as it represents the second number being subtracted, not the result of the subtraction.
