Question 1
What is the value of 0.75 × 0.4?
• A) 0.03
• B) 0.3
• C) 3.0
• D) 0.003
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Multiply 75 × 4 = 300. Since 0.75 has two decimal places
and 0.4 has one decimal place, the product has three decimal places:
0.300 = 0.3.
Question 2
What is 15% of 80?
• A) 10
, • B) 12
• C) 15
• D) 18
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: 15% = 15/100 = 0.15. 0.15 × 80 = 12. Alternatively, 10% of
80 is 8, and 5% of 80 is 4, so 8 + 4 = 12.
Question 3
Add: 3/4 + 1/2
• A) 4/6
• B) 5/4
• C) 1 1/4
• D) Both B and C
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: 1/2 = 2/4. 3/4 + 2/4 = 5/4 = 1 1/4. Both 5/4 and 1 1/4 are
correct representations.
Question 4
Subtract: 5/6 - 1/3
• A) 1/6
• B) 1/2
, • C) 2/6
• D) 4/6
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: 1/3 = 2/6. 5/6 - 2/6 = 3/6 = 1/2.
Question 5
What is the least common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 8?
• A) 12
• B) 18
• C) 24
• D) 48
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30... Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24,
32... The least common multiple is 24.
Question 6
Convert 0.75 to a fraction in simplest form.
• A) 1/4
• B) 2/3
• C) 3/4
• D) 4/5
, Correct Answer: C
Rationale: 0.75 = 75/100. Simplify by dividing numerator and
denominator by 25: 75 ÷ 25 = 3, 100 ÷ 25 = 4. So 3/4.
Question 7
What is the decimal equivalent of 7/8?
• A) 0.78
• B) 0.875
• C) 0.85
• D) 0.88
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: 7 ÷ 8 = 0.875. This is a common conversion to memorize.
Question 8
What is the value of 0.005 written as a fraction?
• A) 5/100
• B) 5/1000
• C) 1/200
