1. If Mr. Parker owns 150 shares of stock in Stark Industries and receives $180.00 per year in dividends, how much does Mr. Rogers receive for an annual dividend if he owns 400 shares?

• A. $480
• B. $500
• C. $450
• D. $72,000

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find out how much Mr. Rogers receives for an annual dividend with 400 shares, we can set up a proportion: 400 shares is to X dollars as 150 shares is to $180. This gives us 400 * $180 / 150 = $480 in annual dividends. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B, $500, is incorrect because it does not consider the proportionality of shares to dividend amount. Choice C, $450, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information. Choice D, $72,000, is significantly higher and incorrect as it does not align with the proportionality of shares and dividends.

2. If a dozen roses cost $36, how much will four roses cost?

• A. $9
• B. $12
• C. $10
• D. $15

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the cost of each rose, divide the total cost by the number of roses in a dozen: $36 ÷ 12 = $3 per rose. Therefore, 4 roses will cost 4 × $3 = $12. Choice A ($9) is incorrect because it miscalculates the cost per rose. Choice C ($10) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the correct division of the total cost. Choice D ($15) is incorrect as it overestimates the cost of four roses.

3. Multiply and express as a decimal: 6 × 55 =

• A. 0.0033
• B. 0.033
• C. 0.33
• D. 3.3

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the result of multiplying 6 by 55, you perform the operation 6 × 55, which equals 330. To express this product in decimal form, you place the decimal point one place from the right, resulting in 3.3. Therefore, the correct answer is D (3.3). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the correct decimal equivalent of the multiplication of 6 and 55.

4. How many kilometers are there in 12 miles?

• A. 7.5 kilometers
• B. 13.2 kilometers
• C. 19.2 kilometers
• D. 22 kilometers

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert miles to kilometers, you can use the conversion factor of 1 mile is equal to 1.609 kilometers. Therefore, to find the number of kilometers in 12 miles, you can multiply 12 miles by 1.609 to get 19.2 kilometers. The correct answer is 19.2 kilometers, making choice C the correct option. Choice A (7.5 kilometers) is incorrect because it represents half the correct conversion. Choice B (13.2 kilometers) is incorrect as it does not apply the correct conversion factor. Choice D (22 kilometers) is incorrect and represents an incorrect conversion calculation.

5. Subtract 6 1/2 - 2 2/3.

• A. 4 1/6
• B. 3 1/3
• C. 3 5/6
• D. 4 1/3

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To subtract mixed numbers, find a common denominator. Converting 6 1/2 to 6 3/6 and 2 2/3 to 2 4/6, the calculation becomes 6 3/6 - 2 4/6 = 4 1/6. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (3 1/3) is incorrect as the correct result is not an improper fraction. Choice C (3 5/6) is incorrect as it does not represent the result of the subtraction. Choice D (4 1/3) is incorrect as it does not match the correct calculation.
