Question 1 of 5
Convert 0.60 to a ratio in simplest form.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert 0.60 to a ratio, start by expressing it as a fraction: 0.60 = 60/100. Then simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 20 in this case. Dividing 60 by 20 gives 3, and dividing 100 by 20 gives 5. Therefore, the simplified fraction is 3/5, which translates to the ratio 3:5 in simplest form.
Question 2 of 5
How many pints are in 56 ounces?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert ounces to pints, you need to know that there are 16 ounces in a pint. To find out how many pints are in 56 ounces, you divide 56 by 16 (56 ounces � 16 ounces/pint), which equals 3.5 pints. Therefore, there are 3.5 pints in 56 ounces.
Question 3 of 5
Convert 3/5 to a decimal.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert a fraction to a decimal, you divide the numerator by the denominator. In this case, 3 � 5 = 0.6. Therefore, the correct answer is B) 0.6.
Question 4 of 5
Ratio and Proportion: 0.5:20 :: X:200
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To solve this proportion problem, you need to set up the ratio 0.5/20 equal to X/200. Cross-multiply to solve for X, which gives you 0.5 � 200 = 20X. Simplifying this, you get 100 = 20X, and then by dividing both sides by 20, you find that X = 5. Therefore, the correct answer is A, X = 50.
Question 5 of 5
What is the result of adding 2/3 and 4/9?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To add 2/3 and 4/9, you need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 9. Convert 2/3 to 6/9. Now, the addition becomes 6/9 + 4/9 = 10/9. Simplifying 10/9 gives you 1 (1/9). Therefore, the correct answer is 1 (1/9). When adding fractions, having a common denominator is essential for accurate calculation.
