## SECTION 1: BASIC MATH & ARITHMETIC
### Questions 1-35
**Question 1**
144,140 ÷ 12 = ?
A) 12,011 r8
B) 12,010 r7
C) 12,012 r4
D) 12,011 r0
**Correct Answer: A**
**Rationale:** 144,140 ÷ 12 = 12,011 remainder 8. 12 × 12,011 = 144,132,
leaving a remainder of 8. This tests basic division with remainders, a foundational
skill for the GED Mathematical Reasoning exam .

**Question 2**
A jacket originally costs $80 and is discounted by 25%. After the discount, sales
tax of 8% is applied. What is the final price?
A) $60.00
B) $64.80
C) $65.60
D) $86.40
**Correct Answer: B**
**Rationale:** Step 1: 25% of $80 = $20. Step 2: $80 − $20 = $60. Step 3: 8% of
$60 = $4.80. Step 4: $60 + $4.80 = $64.80. Always apply discounts before adding
tax .

**Question 3**
What is 3/4 + 2/5?
A) 5/9
B) 5/20
C) 23/20
D) 1 3/20
,3|Page
**Correct Answer: D**
**Rationale:** Find a common denominator: 3/4 = 15/20, 2/5 = 8/20. 15/20 + 8/20
= 23/20 = 1 3/20. This tests fraction addition, a core GED math skill .

What is 3/4 × 1/2?
A) 1/4
B) 3/8
C) 5/8
D) 3/4
**Correct Answer: B**
**Rationale:** Multiply numerators: 3 × 1 = 3. Multiply denominators: 4 × 2 = 8.
Result: 3/8. This tests fraction multiplication .

**Question 5**
What is 5/6 × 3/4?
, 4|Page
A) 1/2
B) 5/8
C) 15/24
D) 5/9
**Correct Answer: B**
**Rationale:** 5/6 × 3/4 = 15/24 = 5/8. This tests fraction multiplication with
simplification .
---
**Question 6**
What is 2/3 ÷ 1/4?
A) 2/12
B) 2/3
C) 8/3
D) 1/6
**Correct Answer: C**
**Rationale:** To divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal: 2/3 × 4/1 = 8/3.
This tests fraction division .
