Question 1 of 5

Which of the following is the correct simplification of the expression below? 12 · 3 4 - 1 + 23

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct order of operations dictates solving division and multiplication before addition and subtraction. Therefore, following the order: (12 · 3) 4 - 1 + 23 = 4 4 - 1 + 23 = 16 - 1 + 23 = 38. Choice A (6) results from adding and subtracting before division and multiplication. Choice B (21) results from incorrect placement of parentheses. Choice D (23) is the last number in the expression and does not reflect the cumulative result of the operations.

Question 2 of 5

Two friends get frozen yogurt. The ratio of yogurt to toppings is 4:3. If one of the friends has 4.5 oz of toppings in their bowl, what is the amount of yogurt in their dessert?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The ratio 4:3 implies that for every 4 oz of yogurt, there are 3 oz of toppings. To find the amount of yogurt when the friend has 4.5 oz of toppings, we use the proportion: (4/3) 4.5 = 6 oz. Therefore, the amount of yogurt in their dessert is 6 oz. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given ratio.

Question 3 of 5

Which of the following is the decimal form of 87.5%?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To convert a percentage to a decimal, you move the decimal point two places to the left. Therefore, 87.5% as a decimal is 0.875. Choice A (875) is incorrect as it represents the percentage without converting to a decimal. Choice B (8,750) is incorrect as it represents the percentage in whole numbers without decimal conversion. Choice D (8.75) is incorrect as it represents 875% instead of 87.5%.

Question 5 of 5

Which of the following weights is equivalent to 3.193 kilograms?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to remember that 1 kilogram is equal to 1,000 grams. Therefore, 3.193 kilograms is equivalent to 3,193 grams (3.193 kg * 1,000 g/kg = 3,193 g). Choice A (3,193,000 grams) incorrectly converts kilograms to milligrams, Choice C (319.3 grams) incorrectly moves the decimal point one place to the right, and Choice D (0.003193 grams) incorrectly converts kilograms to milligrams and then further to grams.
