1. What is 20% of 2?

• A. 0.4
• B. 0.2
• C. 0.3
• D. 0.1

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 20% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.20. In this case, 0.20 * 2 = 0.4. Therefore, 0.4 is 20% of 2. Choice A (0.4) is correct. Choice B (0.2) is incorrect because it represents 10% of 2, not 20%. Choice C (0.3) is incorrect as it is not the result of calculating 20% of 2. Choice D (0.1) is incorrect as it represents 5% of 2, not 20%.

2. In the number 743.25, which digit represents the tenths place?

• A. 3
• B. 4
• C. 2
• D. 5

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In the number 743.25, the tenths place is the first digit to the right of the decimal point, which is 2. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (3) represents the hundredths place, choice B (4) represents the units place, and choice D (5) represents the hundredths place.

3. If a recipe requires 3 eggs for every pound of cake, how many pounds of cake can be made with 40 eggs?

• A. 12 pounds
• B. 14 pounds
• C. 13 pounds
• D. 15 pounds

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To determine the pounds of cake that can be made with 40 eggs, divide the total number of eggs by the eggs needed per pound of cake: 40 eggs ÷ 3 eggs/pound = 13 pounds of cake. Therefore, the correct answer is 13 pounds. Choice A, 12 pounds, is incorrect because it does not consider the ratio of eggs to cake. Choice B, 14 pounds, and Choice D, 15 pounds, are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given ratio in the question.

4. 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.

5. A delivery of medical supplies includes 36 boxes. If each box weighs 2.5 pounds, what is the total weight of the delivery?

• A. 90 pounds
• B. 75 pounds
• C. 120 pounds
• D. 100 pounds

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total weight of the delivery, you need to multiply the number of boxes (36) by the weight of each box (2.5 pounds). This gives you 36 boxes * 2.5 pounds = 90 pounds, which is the correct answer. Choice B (75 pounds), C (120 pounds), and D (100 pounds) are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the total weight based on the given information.
