What is the result of adding 7/8 + 9/10 + 6/5?
- A. 3 & 39/40
- B. 3 & 22/23
- C. 22/23
- D. 30
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To add fractions, you need to find a common denominator. The common denominator for 8, 10, and 5 is 40. Then, convert each fraction: 7/8 = 35/40, 9/10 = 36/40, and 6/5 = 24/40. Now, add the fractions: 35/40 + 36/40 + 24/40 = 95/40, which simplifies to 2 15/40 or 2 3/8. Therefore, 7/8 + 9/10 + 6/5 = 3 & 39/40. Choice B is incorrect because it does not represent the correct addition of the fractions. Choice C is incorrect as it does not account for the whole number part. Choice D is incorrect as it is not the sum of the fractions and whole numbers.

Add 2\3 + 1\6 + 2\5.
- A. 1 & 7\30
- B. 1 & 1\15
- C. 2\5
- D. 3\4
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To add fractions, find a common denominator (30), which gives 20/30 + 5/30 + 12/30=37/30= 1 7/30
A man is reading a book with 798 pages. If he reads 2 chapters a day and each chapter has 6 pages, how many days will it take him to finish the book?
- A. 133 days
- B. 399 days
- C. 66.5 days
- D. 75 days
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the total number of chapters, divide the total number of pages by the number of pages per chapter: 798 · 6 = 133 chapters. Reading 2 chapters per day means it will take 133 · 2 = 66.5 days. Choice A, 133 days, is incorrect because it miscalculates the days needed to finish the book. Choice B, 399 days, is incorrect as it doesn't consider the number of chapters read per day. Choice D, 75 days, is incorrect as it doesn't account for the total number of chapters in the book.
Imaginary unit multiples are used to represent numbers that cannot be obtained on the number line. Which of the following is equivalent to 5i?
- A. -5
- B. i^5
- C. 5√-1
- D. 1/5i
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale:
- The imaginary unit, denoted as "i," is defined as the square root of -1.
- Therefore, 5i can be expressed as 5 times the square root of -1, which is equivalent to 5√-1.
- Option A, -5, is a real number and not an imaginary unit multiple.
- Option B, i^5, is equal to i because i raised to any power that is a multiple of 4 results in 1, and i^5 is equivalent to i.
- Option D, 1/5i, is the reciprocal of 5i and not equivalent to 5i.
How many milliliters are in 5 pints of water?
- A. 2400 milliliters
- B. 4800 milliliters
- C. 2000 milliliters
- D. 3600 milliliters
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 2400 milliliters. Since 1 pint is equivalent to 480 milliliters, to find out how many milliliters are in 5 pints, you multiply 480 by 5, which equals 2400 milliliters. Choice B (4800 milliliters) is incorrect because it multiplies 480 by 10 instead of 5. Choice C (2000 milliliters) is incorrect as it incorrectly equates 1 pint to 400 milliliters. Choice D (3600 milliliters) is incorrect as it miscalculates the conversion of pints to milliliters.
If a man reads 2 chapters a day and there are 6 pages per chapter in a 798-page book, how long will it take him to finish the book?
- A. 133 days
- B. 399 days
- C. 75 days
- D. 66.5 days
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To find the total number of chapters, divide the total number of pages by the number of pages per chapter: 798 · 6 = 133 chapters. If he reads 2 chapters a day, it will take him 133 · 2 = 66.5 days to finish the book. Therefore, the correct answer is 66.5 days. Choice A is incorrect because it miscalculates the number of days required. Choices B and C are incorrect as they do not consider the correct calculation based on the given information.
