1. 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.

2. The recipe called for 3 1/2 pints of sour cream. How many cups of sour cream would that be equivalent to?

• A. 5 cups
• B. 7 cups
• C. 6 cups
• D. 4 cups

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 3 1/2 pints of sour cream to cups, knowing that 1 pint equals 2 cups, we multiply 3.5 by 2, resulting in 7 cups. Therefore, the equivalent amount of sour cream in cups is 7 cups. Choice A is incorrect as it does not consider the correct conversion factor. Choice C is incorrect as it does not account for the accurate conversion from pints to cups. Choice D is incorrect as it underestimates the conversion by not multiplying the pints by the correct factor.

3. A solution is 60% alcohol. If 200ml of the solution is used, how much pure alcohol is present?

• A. 100ml
• B. 120ml
• C. 140ml
• D. 160ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: If the solution is 60% alcohol, it means that 60% of the solution is alcohol. Therefore, in 200ml of the solution, the amount of alcohol present is: 200ml * 60% = 200ml * 0.60 = 120ml. So, when 200ml of the solution is used, there are 120ml of pure alcohol present. Choice A, 100ml, is incorrect because it does not account for the correct percentage of alcohol in the solution. Choice C, 140ml, and Choice D, 160ml, are incorrect as they overestimate the amount of pure alcohol present in the solution.

4. How many kilometers is equivalent to 200 meters?

• A. 50 kilometers
• B. 20 kilometers
• C. 12 kilometers
• D. 0.2 kilometers

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert meters to kilometers, divide the number of meters by 1000, as 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. Therefore, 200 meters is equivalent to 200 / 1000 = 0.2 kilometers. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not correctly convert meters to kilometers. A provides an answer that would be correct if converting from kilometers to meters. B and C are much larger distances than what 200 meters represent.

5. What is the result of adding 1/4 + 3/8?

• A. 5/8
• B. 7/12
• C. 2/3
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions with different denominators, find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator of 4 and 8 is 8. Convert 1/4 to 2/8, then add it to 3/8. The sum is 5/8. Choice B (7/12) is incorrect as it is the result of adding 1/3 + 1/4. Choice C (2/3) is incorrect as it is the result of adding 3/8 + 1/4. Choice D (1/2) is incorrect as it is the result of adding 1/4 + 1/4.
