A stop sign has five equal sides, each measuring 25cm. What is its perimeter?
- A. 100cm
- B. 125cm
- C. 150cm
- D. 175cm
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale:
- Since a stop sign has five equal sides, each measuring 25cm, the perimeter can be calculated by adding up the lengths of all five sides.
- Perimeter = 25cm + 25cm + 25cm + 25cm + 25cm = 125cm
- Therefore, the perimeter of the stop sign is 125cm.

Add 2/3 + 4/9.
- A. 8/15
- B. 1
- C. 10/9
- D. 1/2
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To add the fractions, first find a common denominator. The least common denominator between 3 and 9 is 9.
Convert 2/3 to 6/9 then add 6/9 + 4/9:
= 10/9
The height of a building is 150 feet. If each floor of the building is 12 feet high, how many floors are in the building?
- A. 13 floors
- B. 15 floors
- C. 10 floors
- D. 18 floors
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To determine the number of floors in the building, divide the total height of the building (150 feet) by the height of each floor (12 feet). 150 feet · 12 feet per floor = 12.5 floors. Since floors cannot be in fractions, the answer is rounded down to the nearest whole number, which is 13 floors. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 13 floors. Choice B (15 floors) is incorrect because the calculation results in 12.5 floors, which should be rounded down. Choices C (10 floors) and D (18 floors) are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the division result and rounding down process.
A birdbath has a hemispherical bowl with a diameter of 30cm. What is its volume?
- A. 675 cu cm
- B. 1350 cu cm
- C. 2700 cu cm
- D. 4050 cu cm
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the volume of a hemispherical bowl, we use half the formula for a sphere's volume: (2/3) * π * (radius)^3. Given the diameter is 30cm, the radius is half of that, which is 15cm. Substitute the radius into the formula: (2/3) * π * (15cm)^3 ≈ 2700 cu cm. Therefore, the correct volume is approximately 2700 cu cm. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the volume of the hemispherical bowl.
A vitamin's expiration date has passed. It was supposed to contain 500 mg of calcium, but it has lost 325 mg of calcium. How many mg of calcium are left?
- A. 175 mg
- B. 135 mg
- C. 185 mg
- D. 200 mg
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 175 mg. The vitamin originally contained 500 mg of calcium. After losing 325 mg, the remaining amount of calcium is calculated as 500 mg - 325 mg = 175 mg. Choice B (135 mg) is incorrect because the vitamin lost more calcium than that. Choices C (185 mg) and D (200 mg) are incorrect as they do not consider the amount of calcium lost from the original 500 mg.
What is 39 · 8 · 7/6?
- A. 56/39
- B. 39/8
- C. 4 & 7/8
- D. 5 & 8/14
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To solve the division problem, we need to remember the rule 'Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.' Therefore, 39 · 8 · 7/6 is equivalent to 39 · 8 6/7. Simplifying this gives (39 6) · (8 7) = 234 · 56 = 56/39. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly simplify the given division problem.
