1. If y = 4 and x = 3, solve y x³

• A. -108
• B. 108
• C. 27
• D. 4

Correct answer: B

Rationale: With y = 4 and x = 3, the expression is y × x³. Substituting the values, we get 4 × 3³ = 4 × 27 = 108. Therefore, the correct answer is 108. Option A (-108) is incorrect because the negative sign is not part of the result. Option C (27) is incorrect as it only represents x³ without considering the value of y. Option D (4) is incorrect as it represents the initial value of y, not the result of y × x³.

2. Subtract 2 5\8 - 7\8 and reduce.

• A. 1 & 5\8
• B. 1 & 1\4
• C. 1 & 6\8
• D. 1 & 3\4

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Subtract the fractions first: 2 5\8 - 7\8 = 1 & 5\8.

3. Multiply: 6 × 0.06 =

• A. 0.0036
• B. 0.036
• C. 0.36
• D. 3.6

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When multiplying 6 by 0.06, you can treat 0.06 as 6 hundredths. So, 6 × 0.06 is equivalent to 6 × 6 hundredths, which equals 0.36. The correct answer is 0.36. Choice A (0.0036) is incorrect because it represents 6 multiplied by 0.0006, not 0.06. Choice B (0.036) is incorrect as it represents 6 multiplied by 0.06 without considering the position of the decimal point. Choice D (3.6) is incorrect as it represents 6 multiplied by 6, not by 0.06.

4. How many pints are in 56 ounces?

• A. 3
• B. 3.5
• C. 7
• D. 8

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find out how many pints are in 56 ounces, you need to divide 56 by 16 (as there are 16 ounces in a pint). This results in 3.5 pints, making choice B the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the conversion from ounces to pints.

5. Multiply: 2 × 5 =

• A. 0.013
• B. 0.13
• C. 1.3
• D. 10

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When you multiply 2 by 5, the result is 10, not 13. Therefore, the correct answer is 10, which is option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent the correct product of multiplying 2 by 5.
