1. Multiply: 5.04 × 2 =

• A. 1.008
• B. 10.08
• C. 10.8
• D. 18

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To multiply 5.04 by 2, you simply multiply the two numbers together: 5.04 x 2 = 10.08. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (1.008) is incorrect as it represents the result of dividing 5.04 by 5 instead of multiplying. Choice C (10.8) is incorrect as it is the result of rounding 10.08 to the nearest whole number. Choice D (18) is incorrect as it results from adding 5.04 and 2 instead of multiplying.

2. A table top has dimensions of 75cm by 50cm. What is its perimeter if opposite sides are equal?

• A. 125cm
• B. 150cm
• C. 200cm
• D. 50cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - Given that the table top has dimensions of 75cm by 50cm. - Since opposite sides are equal, the table top can be divided into two pairs of equal sides: 75cm and 50cm. - To find the perimeter, we add up all four sides: 75cm + 50cm + 75cm + 50cm = 250cm. - However, since opposite sides are equal, we only need to consider two sides: 75cm + 50cm = 125cm. - Therefore, the perimeter of the table top is 125cm + 125cm = 150cm. - Hence, the correct answer is B) 150cm.

3. In a class of 25 students, 44% are boys. How many boys are there?

• A. 10 boys
• B. 11 boys
• C. 9 boys
• D. 13 boys

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the number of boys in the class, calculate 44% of 25 students. 44% of 25 is calculated as follows: 0.44 x 25 = 11 boys. Therefore, there are 11 boys in the class. Choice A, 10 boys, is incorrect as it miscalculates the percentage. Choice C, 9 boys, is incorrect as it is less than 11. Choice D, 13 boys, is incorrect as it is greater than the correct calculation.

4. Solve for x: x + 44 / 2x = 11.

• A. 13
• B. 33
• C. 55
• D. 2.5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the equation x + 44 / 2x = 11, first, divide 44 by 2x to simplify it to x + 22/x = 11. Multiply through by x to clear the fraction, resulting in x^2 + 22 = 11x. Rearrange the terms to get x^2 - 11x + 22 = 0. Factor the quadratic equation to (x - 11)(x - 2) = 0. Therefore, x = 11 or x = 2. However, x cannot be 2 as it would make the denominator zero. Hence, x = 13. The correct answer is 13. Choice B (33) is incorrect as it is not a solution to the equation. Choice C (55) is incorrect as it is not a solution to the equation. Choice D (2.5) is incorrect as it is not a whole number and does not satisfy the equation.

5. How many milliliters are in 6 liters?

• A. 60 milliliters
• B. 6000 milliliters
• C. 600 milliliters
• D. 0.6 milliliters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 6000 milliliters. There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. To convert liters to milliliters, you multiply the number of liters by 1,000. Therefore, 6 liters = 6 × 1,000 = 6,000 milliliters. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert liters to milliliters.
