Question 1 of 5
Change the following fraction into a ratio: 22/91
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert a fraction into a ratio, you express it as a ratio of two numbers separated by a colon. Therefore, 22/91 as a ratio is 22:91. Choice B (1/3) is a different fraction not equivalent to 22/91. Choice C (22/91) is the original fraction and not the ratio form. Choice D is irrelevant to the question.
Question 2 of 5
If John buys 3 bags of chips for $4.50, how much will it cost John to buy five bags of chips?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: If 3 bags of chips cost $4.50, then the cost per bag is $4.50/3 = $1.50. To buy five bags, John would need to pay 5 bags * $1.50 = $7.50. Therefore, it will cost John $7.50 to buy five bags of chips. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the total cost based on the given information.
Question 3 of 5
Convert the following decimal to a percent: 0.0068
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percent, move the decimal point two places to the right. Therefore, 0.0068 as a percentage is 0.68%. Choice A is correct because it represents the correct conversion. Choice B is incorrect as it would be the decimal 6.8 represented as a percentage. Choice C is incorrect as it would be the decimal 0.068 represented as a percentage. Choice D is incorrect as it is the original decimal value.
Question 4 of 5
Change the following percentage to a decimal: 76.3%
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide by 100. In this case, to convert 76.3% to a decimal, you move the decimal point two places to the left, resulting in 0.763. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (0.0763) is incorrect as it represents 7.63% as a decimal. Choice B (7) and Choice D (7.63) are not correct conversions of the given percentage to a decimal.
Question 5 of 5
What is 20% of 2?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find 20% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.20. In this case, 0.20 * 2 = 0.4. Therefore, 0.4 is 20% of 2. Choice A (0.4) is correct. Choice B (0.2) is incorrect because it represents 10% of 2, not 20%. Choice C (0.3) is incorrect as it is not the result of calculating 20% of 2. Choice D (0.1) is incorrect as it represents 5% of 2, not 20%.
