Change the following fraction into a ratio: 22/91
- A. 22:91
- B. 1/3
- C. 22/91
- D. Not here
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert a fraction into a ratio, you express it as a ratio of two numbers separated by a colon. Therefore, 22/91 as a ratio is 22:91. Choice B (1/3) is a different fraction not equivalent to 22/91. Choice C (22/91) is the original fraction and not the ratio form. Choice D is irrelevant to the question.

What is the result of adding 12 1/21 and 3 1/3?
- A. 15 8/21
- B. 16 5/24
- C. 15
- D. 14
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To add 12 1/21 and 3 1/3, first add the whole numbers: 12 + 3 = 15. Then, add the fractions: 1/21 + 1/3. To find a common denominator, multiply 21 by 3 to get 63. Convert 1/21 to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 63 by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 3, resulting in 3/63. Now add 3/63 (equivalent to 1/21) and 21/63 (equivalent to 1/3) to get 24/63. Simplifying 24/63 gives 8/21. Therefore, the sum is 15 8/21. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not result from the correct addition of the given numbers and fractions.
Solve the proportion (find the value of x): 9:14 = x:56.
- A. x = 14
- B. x = 25
- C. x = 36
- D. x = 42
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To solve the proportion 9:14 = x:56, you can cross multiply to get 9 * 56 = 14 * x. This simplifies to 504 = 14x. Dividing by 14 on both sides gives x = 36. Therefore, the value of x in the proportion is 36. Choice A, x = 14, is incorrect as it does not satisfy the proportion equation. Choice B, x = 25, is incorrect as it is not the value that makes the proportion true. Choice D, x = 42, is incorrect as it does not correctly satisfy the proportion equation.
Add 6 & 3/4 + 8 & 1/6.
- A. 35/6
- B. 14 & 2/5
- C. 14 & 11/12
- D. 12 & 3/24
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To add mixed numbers, first add the whole numbers together, then add the fractions. 6 + 8 = 14. For the fractions: 3/4 + 1/6 = (18 + 4) / 24 = 22/24 = 11/12. Therefore, 6 & 3/4 + 8 & 1/6 equals 14 & 11/12. Choice A is incorrect as it does not represent the correct sum. Choice B is incorrect because it does not match the correct result. Choice D is incorrect as it simplifies to 12 & 1/6, not 12 & 3/24.
A medication dosage is listed as 1/4 gram. What is the equivalent dosage in milligrams (1 gram = 1000 milligrams)?
- A. 125mg
- B. 250mg
- C. 375mg
- D. 500mg
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: 1/4 gram is equivalent to 1/4 * 1000 milligrams (since 1 gram = 1000 milligrams).
1/4 * 1000 = 250 milligrams.
Therefore, the equivalent dosage in milligrams is 250mg, which corresponds to option B. The other choices are incorrect because they do not correctly convert 1/4 gram to milligrams using the conversion factor of 1 gram = 1000 milligrams.
Alan is making a table. The table will be 6 1/2 feet long and 4 feet wide. The board for the table is 7 7/8 feet long and 4 feet wide. How much of the board will Alan need to cut off?
- A. 1 3/8
- B. 2
- C. 7/8
- D. 3/4
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To determine how much board Alan needs to cut off, subtract the length of the table from the length of the board: 7 7/8 - 6 1/2 = 1 3/8. Therefore, Alan needs to cut off 1 3/8 feet from the board. Choice A is correct. Choice B (2) is incorrect because the subtraction result is 1 3/8, not 2. Choice C (7/8) is incorrect as it represents only the fraction part of the answer, not the whole amount. Choice D (3/4) is incorrect as it is a different fraction value than the result of the subtraction.
