Question 1 of 5
Roger's car gets an average of 25 miles per gallon. If his gas tank holds 16 gallons, how far can he drive on a full tank?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To calculate the distance Roger can drive on a full tank, multiply the number of gallons in his tank by the average miles per gallon his car gets. 16 gallons x 25 miles per gallon = 400 miles. Therefore, Roger can drive 400 miles on a full tank. Choice A (41 miles) is incorrect as it does not consider the tank's full capacity. Choice B (100 miles) is incorrect as it does not account for the full tank's capacity and the average miles per gallon. Choice D (320 miles) is incorrect as it miscalculates the total distance based on the given information.

Question 3 of 5
Change the decimal to a percent: 0.64 =
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percent, multiply by 100. In this case, 0.64 100 = 64%. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (0.64%) is incorrect as it represents the original decimal value in percentage form. Choice B (6.4%) is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies the decimal value by 10 instead of 100. Choice D (0.064%) is incorrect as it represents the decimal value as a fraction of 1000 instead of 100.
Question 4 of 5
Convert the percentage to a decimal: 38% =
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert a percentage to a decimal, you divide by 100. In this case, 38% divided by 100 equals 0.38. Moving the decimal point two places to the left converts the percentage to a decimal. Choice B is incorrect because it incorrectly moves the decimal point one place to the left. Choice C is incorrect as it moves the decimal point three places to the left. Choice D is incorrect as it does not convert the percentage to a decimal.
Question 5 of 5
Round to the nearest whole number. Change the fraction to a percent: 17/80 =
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert 17/80 to a percent, we divide 17 by 80 to get 0.2125. Multiplying by 100, we get 21.25%. Rounding to the nearest whole number, 21.25% becomes 21%. Choice A (20%) is incorrect because rounding 21.25% down to the nearest whole number gives 21%. Choice C (22%) is incorrect as it is the next whole number after 21. Choice D (23%) is incorrect as it is more than 21.25% and thus rounds up to 22%.
