1. What is the result of subtracting 10.012 from 0.120?

• A. 10
• B. 9.892
• C. 10.122
• D. 9.012

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the result of subtracting 10.012 from 0.120, you need to subtract the two numbers: 0.120 - 10.012 = -9.892. The correct answer is B, 9.892. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct subtraction operation and result.

2. If a person wants to plant 65,536 trees so that the number of rows equals the number of trees in each row, how many trees should they plant in each row?

• A. 1684
• B. 1268
• C. 668
• D. 256

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To plant 65,536 trees with the same number of rows and trees in each row, you need to calculate the square root of 65,536. The square root of 65,536 is 256. Therefore, planting 256 trees in each row would result in 256 rows with 256 trees in each row, totaling 65,536 trees. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not provide the correct calculation based on the requirements of the question.

3. Jeff needed a 6 ft. rope. He found 2 pieces of rope and thought maybe he could tie them together. One rope was 40 inches and the other was 36 inches. How long would the rope be, and would he have enough rope if he ties them together?

• A. No, the rope would be 76 inches.
• B. Yes, the rope would be 76 inches.
• C. Yes, the rope would be 6 feet.
• D. No, the rope would be 6 feet.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 6 feet to inches, we multiply 6 by 12 (1 foot = 12 inches), giving us 72 inches needed. By adding the lengths of the two ropes (40 inches + 36 inches), Jeff would have a total of 76 inches, which is more than the 72 inches required. Therefore, he would have enough rope if he ties them together. Choice A and D are incorrect because they misinterpret the conversion from feet to inches. Choice C is incorrect as it does not consider the actual combined length of the two ropes.

4. A worker's schedule is written in military time, and shows their shift is from 1500 to 0100. When will they get off work?

• A. A little bit after midnight
• B. 1:00 AM
• C. 3:00 AM
• D. 12:30 AM

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When converting military time, 0100 actually corresponds to 1:00 AM the next day. Choice A is incorrect as 'a little bit after midnight' is vague and not a specific time. Choice C is incorrect as it is after the worker's shift ends. Choice D is incorrect as it is before the worker's shift ends.

5. What is the probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die?

• A. 50%
• B. 66.70%
• C. 33.30%
• D. 25%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A six-sided die has three odd numbers (1, 3, 5) out of six possible outcomes. To calculate the probability, divide the number of favorable outcomes (odd numbers) by the total number of outcomes: 3/6 = 0.5 or 50%. Therefore, the probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die is 50%. Choice A is correct. Choice B (66.70%) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die. Choice C (33.30%) is incorrect as it represents the probability of rolling an even number. Choice D (25%) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct probability of rolling an odd number on a six-sided die.
