1. If he pays $270 per month in rent, how much money does he put into his house savings account each month?

• A. $90
• B. $270
• C. $730
• D. $810

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is $90. If he pays $270 per month in rent and saves a total of $360 per month, he puts $360 - $270 = $90 into his house savings account each month. Choice B ($270) is incorrect as this amount represents the rent paid, not the amount saved. Choices C ($730) and D ($810) are both significantly higher than the correct amount of $90, making them incorrect as they do not align with the given information in the question.

2. Which statement about multiplication and division is true?

• A. The product of the quotient and the dividend is the divisor.
• B. The product of the dividend and the divisor is the quotient.
• C. The product of the quotient and the divisor is the dividend.
• D. None of the above.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In division, the dividend is the number being divided, the divisor is the number you are dividing by, and the quotient is the result. Multiplying the quotient by the divisor gives the original dividend. This is the reverse of the division operation. Therefore, the correct statement is that the product of the quotient and the divisor equals the dividend, making option C correct. Choices A and B provide incorrect relationships between the terms dividend, divisor, quotient, and product, making them inaccurate. Option D is a general statement that does not provide the correct relationship between multiplication and division terms.

3. Express 18/5 as a reduced mixed number.

• A. 3 3/5
• B. 3 1/15
• C. 3 1/18
• D. 3 1/54

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 18/5 = 3 with a remainder of 3, so it is 3 3/5. 3 1/15 is equivalent to 46/15 which is greater than 18/5 3 1/18 converts to 55/18 which is also greater than 18/5 3 1/54 converts to 163/54

4. How can you visually differentiate between a histogram and a bar graph?

• A. A bar graph has gaps between the bars; a histogram does not
• B. A bar graph displays frequency; a histogram does not
• C. A histogram illustrates comparison; a bar graph does not
• D. A bar graph includes labels; a histogram does not

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The key difference between a histogram and a bar graph is that a bar graph has gaps between the bars, while a histogram does not. This feature helps in visually distinguishing between the two. Choice B is incorrect because both types of graphs can show frequency. Choice C is incorrect as both graphs can be used for comparison. Choice D is incorrect as both types of graphs can have labels for better understanding.

5. In a study about anorexia conducted on 100 patients, where 70% were women, and 10% of the men were overweight as children, how many male patients in the study were NOT overweight as children?

• A. 3
• B. 10
• C. 27
• D. 30

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Out of the 100 patients, 30% were men (100 - 70% women), hence 30 men. Since 10% of the men were overweight as children (10% of 30 is 3), the remaining men (30 - 3) were NOT overweight as children, which equals 27. Therefore, the correct answer is 27. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate calculation of the number of male patients who were NOT overweight as children.
