1. Multiply & simplify: 1/3 x 3 1/9 =
A) 31/27
B) 1 1/3
C) 1 1/27
D) 26/27 correct answer C) 1 1/27
Express 3 1/9 as an improper fraction: 28/9. Then multiply numerators adn
denominators: 1/3 x 28/9 = 28/27.
Finally, express this as a mixed number in lowest terms: 1 1/27
2. Ninety percent of the class passed with a 75 or higher. If that percent equaled
27 students, how many students were in the whole class?
A) 28
B) 30
C) 36
D) 40 correct answer B) 30
Express the percent as a decimal: 0.90.
Think: 0.90x = 27.
,Solve: x = 27 ÷ 0.90.
The answer is 30
3. If a party planner assumes 2 bottles of sparkling water per 5 guests, how many
bottles must she purchase for a party of 65?
A) 26
B) 33
C) 49
D) 58 correct answer A) 26
Set up this as a proportion: 2/5 = x/65.
You may cross-multiply to solve:
2 x 65 = 5x
130 = 5x
x =130/5, or 26.
4. Kayla purchased 4 paperbacks and 3 hardcover books at the library sale.
The paperbacks were 15 cents apiece, and the hardcovers were 75 cents apiece.
If Kayla paid with a $5 bill, how much change was she owed?
A) $2.00
B) $2.15
C) $2.25
D) $3.05 correct answer B) $2.15
, First, determine how much Kayla spent for the paperbacks: $ .15 x 4 = $ .60
Then find out what she spent for the hardcovers: $ .75 x 3 = $2.25.
Add those sums: $ .60 + $2.25 = $2.85
Finally, subtract that total from $5.00:
$5.00 - $2.85 = $2.15
5. Express 5.75 as a fraction in lowest terms.
A) 5 1/25
B) 5 2/5
C) 5 1/2
D) 5 3/4 correct answer D) 5 3/4
5.75 = 5 75/100, or 5 3/4 in lowest terms.
6. How many milliliters are there in 6 liters?
(Enter numeric value only). ___________________________ correct answer
(6,000) One liter = 1,000 milliliters, so 6 liters = 6,000 milliliters
7. Write the date 2017 in Roman numerals.
A) MMXVII
B) MDVII
