Question 1 of 5

What is the sum of 3/7, 4/7, and 2/7?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the sum of fractions with the same denominator, add the numerators. Here, 3/7 + 4/7 + 2/7 = (3 + 4 + 2)/7 = 9/7. Therefore, the correct answer is 9/7. Choice A (7/7) is incorrect as the sum is not 7/7. Choice C (6/7) is incorrect as the sum is not 6/7. Choice D (7/7) is incorrect as the sum is not 7/7.

Question 2 of 5

What is 60% of 150?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find 60% of 150, you multiply 0.6 by 150, which equals 90. Therefore, the correct answer is 90. Choice A (80) is incorrect because it does not represent 60% of 150. Choice C (120) is incorrect as it exceeds 100% of 150. Choice D (80) is a duplicate of choice A and does not accurately represent 60% of 150.

Question 3 of 5

A train travels at 80 mph for 3 hours. How far did it travel?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the distance traveled, you multiply the speed of the train (80 mph) by the time it traveled (3 hours): 80 mph 3 hours = 240 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is 240 miles. Choice B (160 miles) is incorrect because it results from multiplying the speed by the incorrect time. Choices C (280 miles) and D (320 miles) are incorrect as they represent calculations that do not match the given speed and time.

Question 4 of 5

What is the probability of rolling a 4 on a six-sided die?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 1/6. When rolling a six-sided die, there is only one outcome that results in a '4' out of a total of six possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Therefore, the probability of rolling a 4 is 1/6. Choice A (1/2) is incorrect as it represents the probability of rolling an even number on a six-sided die, not specifically a '4.' Choice C (1/3) and Choice D (1/2) do not accurately reflect the probability of rolling a '4' on a six-sided die.

Question 5 of 5

Convert 7/8 to a decimal.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To convert the fraction 7/8 to a decimal, you divide the numerator (7) by the denominator (8): 7 · 8 = 0.875. Therefore, the correct decimal representation of the fraction 7/8 is 0.875. Choice A and B, which are both 0.8, are incorrect as they represent 4/5 and not 7/8. Choice D, 0.9, is also incorrect as it represents 9/10 and not 7/8.
