- A. 523/10000
- B. 523/1000
- C. 523/100
- D. 523/10
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert a decimal to a fraction, place the decimal value over the place value of the last digit. In this case, 0.0523 can be expressed as 523/10000 since the last digit is in the ten-thousandths place. Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they represent different decimal values and do not match the correct conversion of 0.0523.

Express 3 5/7 as an improper fraction.
- A. 26/7
- B. 21/7
- C. 22/7
- D. 26/5
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction, then add the numerator. In this case, 3 * 7 + 5 = 21 + 5 = 26. So, 3 5/7 as an improper fraction is 26/7. Choice B (21/7) is incorrect because it represents the original fraction 3 5/7. Choice C (22/7) is incorrect and represents a different fraction. Choice D (26/5) is incorrect and does not reflect the proper conversion of the mixed number to an improper fraction.
What is the value of the sum of 3/4 and 5/8?
- A. 1 3/8
- B. 1 1/2
- C. 1 7/8
- D. 1 5/8
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To find the sum of fractions, they need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 8. So, 3/4 = 6/8. Adding 6/8 and 5/8 gives 11/8, which simplifies to 1 3/8. Therefore, the correct answer is 1 3/8, which corresponds to choice A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct sum of 3/4 and 5/8.

Rationale: The factors of 12 are numbers that divide evenly into 12 without leaving a remainder. The correct factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. Choice A (12, 24, 36) is incorrect as only 12 is a factor of 12. Choice B (1, 2, 4, 6, 12) includes all the correct factors of 12. Choice C (12, 24, 36, 48) is incorrect as 24, 36, and 48 are not factors of 12.
How will the number 847.89632 be written if rounded to the nearest hundredth?
- A. 847.90
- B. 900
- C. 847.89
- D. 847.896
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When rounding to the nearest hundredth, we look at the digit in the thousandth place, which is 8. Since the next digit, in the ten-thousandth place, is 9 (greater than or equal to 5), we round up the hundredth place digit. Therefore, 847.89632 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 847.90. Choice B (900) is incorrect as it does not round the number to the nearest hundredth. Choice C (847.89) is also incorrect as it drops the digit 6 in the ten-thousandth place. Choice D (847.896) does not round the number to the nearest hundredth as it retains the thousandth place digit 3.
Round 8.067 to the nearest tenth.
- A. 8.1
- B. 8.1
- C. 8
- D. 8.11
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To round 8.067 to the nearest tenth, you look at the digit in the hundredth place, which is 6. Since 6 is equal to or greater than 5, you round up the digit in the tenth place. Therefore, 8.067 rounded to the nearest tenth is 8.1. Choice B (8.1) is incorrect as it duplicates the correct answer. Choice C (8) is incorrect as it does not account for the decimal part. Choice D (8.11) is incorrect as it rounds the number to the nearest hundredth, not the nearest tenth.
