1. What is 50% of 120?

• A. 50
• B. 50
• C. 70
• D. 60

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 60. To find 50% of 120, you multiply 0.5 by 120: 0.5 x 120 = 60. Choice A and B are incorrect as they are duplicates. Choice C, 70, is incorrect because it is not the result of calculating 50% of 120.

2. What is the result of subtracting 2 5/8 from 7/8?

• A. 1 3/4
• B. 2
• C. 1
• D. 2 & 1/2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To subtract 2 5/8 from 7/8, first, convert 7/8 to an equivalent fraction with the same denominator as 2 5/8, which is 8. 7/8 equals 1 whole and 1/8. Subtracting 1 whole from 2 whole results in 1 whole, and subtracting 1/8 from 5/8 gives 4/8 or 1/2. Therefore, the answer is 1 1/2, which simplifies to 1 3/4. Choice B, 2, is incorrect as it doesn't represent the correct result of the subtraction. Choice C, 1, is incorrect as it doesn't account for the fractional part of the answer. Choice D, 2 & 1/2, is incorrect as it doesn't match the calculated result of 1 3/4.

3. Which of the following fractions is the largest? 3/8, 3/9, 3/6, 3/7

• A. 3/7
• B. 3/6
• C. 3/9
• D. 3/8

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine the largest fraction, it's helpful to convert them to decimals for easier comparison. Converting the fractions to decimals gives: 3/8 = 0.375, 3/9 = 0.333, 3/6 = 0.5, and 3/7 ≈ 0.429. Therefore, 3/7 is the largest fraction among the given options. Choice B, 3/6, is actually equivalent to 3/6 = 0.5 which is greater than 3/7. Choices C and D are smaller fractions compared to 3/7, making them incorrect.

4. What is the sum of 3/7, 4/7, and 2/7?

• A. 7/7
• B. 9/7
• C. 6/7
• D. 7/7

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the sum of fractions with the same denominator, add the numerators. Here, 3/7 + 4/7 + 2/7 = (3 + 4 + 2)/7 = 9/7. Therefore, the correct answer is 9/7. Choice A (7/7) is incorrect as the sum is not 7/7. Choice C (6/7) is incorrect as the sum is not 6/7. Choice D (7/7) is incorrect as the sum is not 7/7.

5. How many pounds are in 192 ounces?

• A. 16 pounds
• B. 10 pounds
• C. 12 pounds
• D. 16 pounds

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert ounces to pounds, divide the number of ounces by 16 since there are 16 ounces in a pound. Therefore, 192 ounces ÷ 16 = 12 pounds. Choice A, 16 pounds, is incorrect because it does not represent the correct conversion from ounces to pounds. Choice B, 10 pounds, is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 192 ounces by 16. Choice D, 16 pounds, is the same as choice A and is incorrect in the context of this conversion.
