1. Teresa began collecting baseball cards exactly 8 months ago, and in that time, she has collected 144 cards. On average, how many baseball cards has she collected per month?

• A. 12
• B. 16
• C. 18
• D. 22

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Teresa collected 144 baseball cards in 8 months. To find the average number of cards collected per month, we divide the total number of cards by the total months: 144 cards ÷ 8 months = 18 cards per month. Therefore, on average, Teresa has collected 18 baseball cards per month. Choice A (12), Choice B (16), and Choice D (22) are incorrect as they do not match the correct calculation based on the information provided in the question.

2. How many centimeters are in a foot?

• A. 30 cm
• B. 31.5 cm
• C. 30.48 cm
• D. 35 cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 30.48 cm. This conversion is based on the standard measurement where 1 foot is equal to 30.48 centimeters. Choice A (30 cm) is incorrect as it is a rounded-down value and not precise. Choice B (31.5 cm) is incorrect as it is not the standard conversion for feet to centimeters. Choice D (35 cm) is incorrect as it is not the accurate conversion for a foot to centimeters.

3. 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.

4. Which of the following numbers is a perfect square?

• A. 10
• B. 12
• C. 15
• D. 16

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A perfect square is a number obtained by squaring an integer. In this case, 16 is a perfect square because it is the result of squaring 4 (4 x 4 = 16). The other answer choices, 10, 12, and 15, are not the product of squaring any whole number, making them incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is 16, as it is a perfect square.

5. What is the result of adding 5 2/9 and 1 2/9?

• A. 6 4/9
• B. 7 5/9
• C. 7
• D. 5 2/9

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add mixed numbers with fractions, first add the whole numbers together: 5 + 1 = 6. Then add the fractions: 2/9 + 2/9 = 4/9. Combining the whole number and the fraction parts gives 6 4/9. Therefore, the correct answer is 6 4/9. Choice B (7 5/9) is incorrect as the fractions were not added correctly. Choice C (7) is incorrect as it does not account for the fractions. Choice D (5 2/9) is one of the original numbers and not the sum of both.
