1. If 30% of a given number is 18, what is the full number?

• A. 60
• B. 30
• C. 40
• D. 45

Correct answer: A

Rationale: If 30% of a number is 18, you can find the full number by dividing 18 by 0.30 (the decimal equivalent of 30%). This calculation results in 60. Therefore, the full number is 60. Choice B (30) is the result if 30% of the number itself was calculated, not the full number. Choices C (40) and D (45) are incorrect and do not align with the given information.

2. What is the result of adding 9.43 and 11.3?

• A. 20.73
• B. 21.3
• C. 22
• D. 19.5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 20.73. To calculate the sum of 9.43 and 11.3, you simply add the two numbers together. Therefore, 9.43 + 11.3 equals 20.73. Choice B (21.3) is incorrect because it represents the sum of rounding the numbers up. Choice C (22) and choice D (19.5) are also incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the sum of the provided numbers.

3. If she had $1,070 after spending $18, how much did she have initially?

• A. $1,052
• B. $1,060
• C. $1,071
• D. $1,075

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine the initial amount she had, we subtract the amount spent ($18) from the total amount she had after spending. If she had $1,070 after spending, subtracting $18 gives us $1,052, which was the initial amount. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not consider the subtraction of the amount spent to find the initial amount.

4. How many centimeters are in a foot?

• A. 30 cm
• B. 31.5 cm
• C. 30.48 cm
• D. 35 cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 30.48 cm. This conversion is based on the standard measurement where 1 foot is equal to 30.48 centimeters. Choice A (30 cm) is incorrect as it is a rounded-down value and not precise. Choice B (31.5 cm) is incorrect as it is not the standard conversion for feet to centimeters. Choice D (35 cm) is incorrect as it is not the accurate conversion for a foot to centimeters.

5. Change 0.004 to a ratio.

• A. 1:250
• B. 17:40
• C. 9:20
• D. 20:40

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.004 to a ratio, first express it as a fraction. 0.004 = 4/1000 = 1/250. Therefore, the ratio is 1:250. Choice A is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect ratios as they do not represent the equivalent fraction of 0.004.
