Question 1 of 5

A die is rolled. What is the probability of getting 5?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 16.67%. When rolling a standard 6-sided die, each face has an equal probability of 1/6. Therefore, the probability of rolling a 5 specifically is 1/6, which is approximately 16.67% when converted to a percentage. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct probability of rolling a 5 on a standard die.

Question 2 of 5

Subtract 28 3/4 - 5 5/6.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To subtract mixed numbers, find a common denominator. Convert 28 3/4 to 28 9/12. Then, subtract 5 5/6 from 28 9/12 to get 22 11/12. Therefore, 28 3/4 - 5 5/6 = 22 & 11/12, which matches choice A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct subtraction result after finding the common denominator and performing the subtraction.

Question 3 of 5

Multiply: 4/9 1 4/5 2/5.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To multiply the fractions, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions: 1 4/5 = 9/5. Then, multiply the fractions: (4/9) (9/5) (2/5) = 8/25. The correct answer is A. Choice B is incorrect as it does not match the result of the multiplication. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the result of multiplying the fractions. Choice D is incorrect as it is not the result of the given multiplication.

Question 4 of 5

Express 0.025 as a ratio.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.025 to a ratio, we can express it as 25:1000 and simplify it by dividing both terms by 25, resulting in 1:40. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (4:1) and C (400:1) do not represent the correct ratio for 0.025. Choice D (26:40:00) is incorrect as it does not follow the standard ratio format of two numbers separated by a colon.
