1. If blank CDs cost 36 cents for two, how much does it cost to buy 10 blank CDs?

• A. $0.90
• B. $1.35
• C. $1.80
• D. $3.60

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If two blank CDs cost 36 cents, each blank CD costs 18 cents (36 cents / 2). To find the cost of 10 blank CDs, you multiply the cost of one CD by the total number of CDs: 18 cents x 10 = $1.80. Therefore, it would cost $1.80 to buy 10 blank CDs. Choice A ($0.90) is incorrect because it miscalculates the cost per CD. Choice B ($1.35) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the total number of CDs. Choice D ($3.60) is incorrect as it miscalculates the cost of one CD.

2. How many ounces are in 3 pints?

• A. 24 ounces
• B. 48 ounces
• C. 32 ounces
• D. 64 ounces

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find out how many ounces are in 3 pints, you need to multiply the number of pints by the number of ounces in 1 pint. Since there are 16 ounces in 1 pint, 3 pints equal 3 * 16 = 48 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is 48 ounces. Choice A (24 ounces) is incorrect because it miscalculates the conversion. Choice C (32 ounces) is incorrect as it does not correctly apply the conversion factor. Choice D (64 ounces) is incorrect as it doubles the correct answer, showing a misunderstanding of the conversion.

3. What is the result of adding 7 2/3 and 5 5/12?

• A. 11 1/12
• B. 12 1/4
• C. 13 1/12
• D. 14 1/6

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To add mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions. 7 2/3 = 23/3 and 5 5/12 = 65/12. Adding them results in 233/12. Converting this improper fraction back to a mixed number gives 19 5/12, which simplifies to 13 1/12. Therefore, the correct answer is 13 1/12.\nChoice A (11 1/12) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct sum of the given mixed numbers. Choice B (12 1/4) is incorrect as it is not the result of adding 7 2/3 and 5 5/12. Choice D (14 1/6) is incorrect as it is not the correct sum of the provided mixed numbers.

4. Which of the following numbers is the largest? (0.667, 0.68, 0.6, 0.0688)

• A. 0.667
• B. 0.68
• C. 0.6
• D. 0.0688

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine the largest number among the given decimals, compare them. 0.68 is the largest number as it is greater than 0.667, 0.6, and 0.0688. The correct answer is 0.68 because it has the highest value. The other options are smaller: 0.667 is less than 0.68, 0.6 is less than 0.68, and 0.0688 is significantly smaller than 0.68.

5. Solve for x: 5x + 10 = 20.

• A. 4
• B. 2
• C. 5
• D. 7

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the equation 5x + 10 = 20, first subtract 10 from both sides to isolate the term with x: 5x = 10. Then, divide by 5 on both sides to find the value of x: x = 2. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B is incorrect because x is not equal to 2 but 4. Choice C is incorrect as x is not equal to 5. Choice D is incorrect as x is not equal to 7.
