1. What is the probability of rolling a 3 on a six-sided die?

• A. 1/6
• B. 1/4
• C. 1/3
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The probability of rolling a specific number on a six-sided die is calculated by dividing the favorable outcomes (rolling a 3) by the total possible outcomes. In this case, there is 1 favorable outcome (rolling a 3) out of 6 total possible outcomes (numbers 1 to 6 on the die). Therefore, the probability of rolling a 3 is 1/6. Choice B (1/4), C (1/3), and D (1/2) are incorrect because they do not represent the correct calculation of the probability for rolling a 3 on a six-sided die.

2. What is the sum of the digits of the number 72?

• A. 6
• B. 5
• C. 9
• D. 7

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the sum of the digits of the number 72, you simply add the individual digits together: 7 + 2 = 9. Therefore, the sum of the digits is 9. Choice A (6), Choice B (5), and Choice D (7) are incorrect as they do not correctly sum up the individual digits of the number 72.

3. Multiply: 35 × 25 =

• A. 0.00875
• B. 0.0875
• C. 0.875
• D. 8.75

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To multiply 35 × 25, break it down into (30 + 5) × 25. Now distribute: (30 × 25) + (5 × 25) = 750 + 125 = 875. Therefore, 35 × 25 = 875. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent the correct result of multiplying 35 by 25. Choice A is 1000 times smaller than the correct answer, Choice B is 100 times smaller, and Choice C is 10 times smaller, making them all incorrect. The correct answer is Choice D, 8.75.

4. How many ounces are in 3 pints?

• A. 24 ounces
• B. 48 ounces
• C. 32 ounces
• D. 64 ounces

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find out how many ounces are in 3 pints, you need to multiply the number of pints by the number of ounces in 1 pint. Since there are 16 ounces in 1 pint, 3 pints equal 3 * 16 = 48 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is 48 ounces. Choice A (24 ounces) is incorrect because it miscalculates the conversion. Choice C (32 ounces) is incorrect as it does not correctly apply the conversion factor. Choice D (64 ounces) is incorrect as it doubles the correct answer, showing a misunderstanding of the conversion.

5. Express 2/5 as a decimal.

• A. 0.2
• B. 0.25
• C. 0.4
• D. 2.5

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To express 2/5 as a decimal, you divide the numerator (2) by the denominator (5). 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4. Choice A (0.2) is the decimal equivalent of 1/5, not 2/5. Choice B (0.25) is the decimal equivalent of 1/4, not 2/5. Choice D (2.5) is not the correct decimal equivalent of 2/5 as it is greater than 1.
