Rewrite the following expression as a decimal: 5/8
- A. 0.7
- B. 0.325
- C. 0.625
- D. 5.8
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. In this case, 5 · 8 = 0.625. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.625. Choice A (0.7) is incorrect as it represents 7/10, choice B (0.325) is incorrect as it represents 325/1000, and choice D (5.8) is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 5 by 8.

What is the result of subtracting 10.012 from 0.120?
- A. 10
- B. 9.892
- C. 10.122
- D. 9.012
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the result of subtracting 10.012 from 0.120, you need to subtract the two numbers: 0.120 - 10.012 = -9.892. The correct answer is B, 9.892. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct subtraction operation and result.
How many ounces are in 2 quarts?
- A. 8 ounces
- B. 16 ounces
- C. 32 ounces
- D. 64 ounces
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, you need to multiply by 32 (1 quart = 32 ounces). Therefore, 2 quarts x 32 ounces/quart = 64 ounces. Hence, there are 64 ounces in 2 quarts. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion factor from quarts to ounces.
Roger's car gets an average of 25 miles per gallon. If his gas tank holds 16 gallons, how far can he drive on a full tank?
- A. 41 miles
- B. 100 miles
- C. 400 miles
- D. 320 miles
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To calculate the distance Roger can drive on a full tank, multiply the number of gallons in his tank by the average miles per gallon his car gets. 16 gallons x 25 miles per gallon = 400 miles. Therefore, Roger can drive 400 miles on a full tank. Choice A (41 miles) is incorrect as it does not consider the tank's full capacity. Choice B (100 miles) is incorrect as it does not account for the full tank's capacity and the average miles per gallon. Choice D (320 miles) is incorrect as it miscalculates the total distance based on the given information.
What is the total perimeter of a playground fence that has a rectangular section (5m by 3m) attached to a semicircular section with a radius of 2m?
- A. 13m
- B. 16m
- C. 19m
- D. 22m
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To find the total perimeter, we first calculate the perimeter of the semicircle, which is half of a full circle, so the formula is π * radius. For the semicircle with a radius of 2m, the perimeter is approximately 3.14 * 2m = 6.28m. Next, we calculate the perimeter of the rectangular section by adding twice the length and twice the width (2 * length + 2 * width). For the rectangle with dimensions 5m by 3m, the perimeter is 2 * 5m + 2 * 3m = 10m + 6m = 16m. Finally, we sum the perimeters of the semicircle and the rectangle to get the total perimeter: 6.28m + 16m = 22.28m. Rounding to the nearest meter, the total perimeter is approximately 22m. Therefore, the correct answer is 22m. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately calculate the total perimeter of the playground fence.
Convert the decimal to a percent: 0.64
- A. 0.64%
- B. 6.4%
- C. 64%
- D. 0.064%
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percent, you multiply by 100 or move the decimal point two places to the right. In this case, 0.64 becomes 64%. Therefore, the correct answer is 64%. Choice A, 0.64%, is incorrect because it does not convert the decimal to a percent. Choice B, 6.4%, is incorrect as it mistakenly moves the decimal point only one place. Choice D, 0.064%, is incorrect as it moves the decimal point three places instead of two.
