Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the fraction of blue shirts, we need to subtract the fractions of green and red shirts from 1 (total). Given that 1/4 are green and 1/3 are red, the fraction of blue shirts is 1 - 1/4 - 1/3 = 12/12 - 3/12 - 4/12 = 5/12. Therefore, the correct answer is C: 5/12. Choice A (1/2) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the given fractions of green and red shirts. Choice B (1/3) is incorrect as it only considers the fraction of red shirts. Choice D (1/4) is incorrect as it only considers the fraction of green shirts.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find 15% of 200, you multiply 200 by 0.15 (which is the decimal equivalent of 15%). 200 * 0.15 = 30. Therefore, the correct answer is A (30). Option B (20) is incorrect because it represents 10% of 200. Option C (25) is incorrect as it is not the result of calculating 15% of 200. Option D (40) is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying 20% by 200.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To round 8.067 to the nearest tenth, we look at the hundredth place, which is 6. Since 6 is equal to or greater than 5, we round the digit in the tenths place up by 1. Therefore, 8.067 rounded to the nearest tenth is 8.1. Choice A is correct because it correctly follows the rounding rule. Choice B is incorrect as it is a duplicate of Choice A. Choice C is incorrect as it rounds down to the nearest whole number, not the nearest tenth. Choice D is incorrect as it rounds up to the hundredth place, not the nearest tenth.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Correct Answer: D (1 apple) Rationale: 1. Xavier starts with 20 apples. 2. He gives half to Emma, leaving him with 10 apples. 3. He gives 6 apples to Jim, leaving him with 4 apples. 4. He uses 3/4 of his remaining 4 apples for the pie, leaving him with 1 apple. Summary: - Choice A (4 apples) is incorrect because Xavier uses 3/4 of his remaining apples for the pie. - Choice B (6 apples) is incorrect because Xavier gives 6 apples to Jim. - Choice C (2 apples) is incorrect because Xavier uses 3/4 of his remaining apples for the pie.
