What is the result of dividing 3.44 by 0.6 rounded off to the nearest whole number?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the result of dividing 3.44 by 0.6, you perform the division operation: 3.44 · 0.6 = 5.73. When rounded off to the nearest whole number, 5.73 becomes 6. Therefore, the correct answer is 6. Choice A is incorrect as the result is not 0. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the closest whole number to 5.73. Choice D is incorrect as it does not reflect the accurate division result.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: There are 1,000 milliliters in 1 liter. The prefix 'milli-' means one-thousandth, so when converting from liters to milliliters, you multiply by 1,000. Therefore, the correct answer is 1,000 mL. Choice A (100 mL) is incorrect as it represents one-tenth of the correct conversion. Choice C (500 mL) is incorrect as it is half of the correct conversion. Choice D (50 mL) is incorrect as it is one-twentieth of the correct conversion.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: 15\25 + 42\52 simplifies to 1 3\10.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milligrams in a gram. Therefore, 7 grams is equal to 7,000 milligrams. Choice A (700 mg) is incorrect because it represents grams to milligrams incorrectly. Choice B (0.7 mg) is incorrect as it converts grams to milligrams erroneously by decimal placement. Choice D (0.07) is incorrect as it converts grams to milligrams inaccurately by misplacing the decimal point.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To divide mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions. 5 & 3/4 = 23/4 and 1/2 = 2/1. So, 23/4 · 2/1 = 23/4 * 1/2 = 23/8 = 2 & 7/8. Therefore, 5 & 3/4 divided by 1/2 reduces to 11 & 1/2. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent the correct result of dividing 5 & 3/4 by 1/2.

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.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To plant 132 bulbs in 12 rows, Edie should plant 11 bulbs in each row. This is calculated by dividing the total number of bulbs by the number of rows: 132 bulbs · 12 rows = 11 bulbs per row. Choice B, 10 bulbs, is incorrect because dividing 132 bulbs by 12 rows does not equal 10. Choice C, 12 bulbs, is incorrect because if Edie plants 12 bulbs in each row, the total number of bulbs planted would exceed 132. Choice D, 15 bulbs, is incorrect as dividing 132 bulbs by 12 rows does not result in 15 bulbs per row.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find out how many gallons are in the tank when it is 3/4 full, you need to calculate 3/4 of 16 gallons. 3/4 of 16 is (3/4) x 16 = 12 gallons. Therefore, the car's gas tank contains 12 gallons when it is 3/4 full. Choice B (8 gallons) is incorrect because that would be 1/2 of the tank's capacity, not 3/4. Choice C (14 gallons) is incorrect as it exceeds the full capacity of the tank. Choice D (10 gallons) is incorrect as it is less than 3/4 of the tank's capacity.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the total cost, first calculate the cost of pens and staplers separately. 240 pens require 40 packs (240 pens · 6 pens per pack = 40 packs). Each pack of pens costs $2.35, so 40 packs cost $94 (40 packs $2.35 per pack = $94). For the staplers, 6 staplers require 3 packs (6 staplers · 2 staplers per pack = 3 packs). Each pack of staplers costs $12.95, so 3 packs cost $38.85 (3 packs $12.95 per pack = $38.85). Adding the cost of pens and staplers together gives a total of $132.85, which rounds to $132.00. Therefore, the correct answer is $132.00. Choice A is incorrect as it does not consider the individual prices of pens and staplers. Choice C is incorrect as it overestimates the total cost by combining the costs incorrectly. Choice D is incorrect as it underestimates the total cost by not considering both pens and staplers.
