Question 1 of 5
Subtract 12 1/8 - 9 1/2.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To subtract mixed numbers, first subtract the fractions: 1/8 - 1/2 = -3/8. Then, subtract the whole numbers: 12 - 9 = 3. Combine the whole number and fraction: 3 - 3/8 = 2 5/8. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B is incorrect because it does not reflect the correct subtraction of the fractions. Choices C and D are incorrect as they do not result from the correct subtraction process outlined above.

Question 4 of 5
A female ran a 24-mile course. Her first 6 miles took 1 hour, the second set of 6 miles took 1.2 hours, the third set of 6 miles took 1.5 hours, and the fourth set of 6 miles took 1.6 hours. How long did it take her to complete the course?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the total time taken, add the time for each segment: 1 hour + 1.2 hours + 1.5 hours + 1.6 hours = 5.3 hours. Therefore, it took her 5.3 hours to complete the course. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the cumulative time calculated based on the given information.
Question 5 of 5
If a man reads 2 chapters a day and there are 6 pages per chapter in a 798-page book, how long will it take him to finish the book?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To find the total number of chapters, divide the total number of pages by the number of pages per chapter: 798 · 6 = 133 chapters. If he reads 2 chapters a day, it will take him 133 · 2 = 66.5 days to finish the book. Therefore, the correct answer is 66.5 days. Choice A is incorrect because it miscalculates the number of days required. Choices B and C are incorrect as they do not consider the correct calculation based on the given information.
