Question 2 of 5
What number is represented by the Roman Numerals XLIV?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The Roman numeral XLIV represents the number 44. Here's the breakdown: - "XL" is 40 in Roman numerals. - Adding "IV" (4) to XL gives us 44. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Other choices are incorrect because: - A (34): This is incorrect as XL is 40, not 30. - B (54): XL is 40, not 50. - D (24): XL is 40, not 20.
Question 3 of 5
If a rat can finish a maze in about 3 minutes, how much longer will it take the rat to finish the maze if a small backpack is put on it, reducing its speed by 50%?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 6 minutes. When the rat's speed is reduced by 50% due to the backpack, it will take twice as long to finish the maze. Therefore, if the rat initially finished the maze in 3 minutes, it will take 6 minutes with the reduced speed. Summary of other choices: A) 3 minutes - Incorrect because the rat's speed is reduced by 50%, so it will take longer than the initial 3 minutes. B) 4 minutes - Incorrect because the reduction in speed by 50% will result in a doubling of the time taken from the initial 3 minutes, making it 6 minutes. D) 1.5 minutes - Incorrect as the reduction in speed will cause the rat to take longer than the initial 3 minutes, not less time.
Question 4 of 5
After the young mother goes shopping and spends $101.85 on groceries, $21.90 at the dry cleaners, and $42.66 at the pet store, she has $200.00 in cash. How much money would she have left after her day of shopping?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To determine the money left after shopping, subtract the total expenses ($101.85 + $21.90 + $42.66 = $166.41) from the initial cash amount ($200.00). Thus, $200.00 - $166.41 = $33.59 left. Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate remaining amount after subtracting the total expenses from the initial cash.
Question 5 of 5
If Mr. Johnson gives half of his pay to his family, $250 to his landlord, and has exactly 3/7 of his pay left over, how much pay does he receive?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Step 1: Let Mr. Johnson's pay be x. Step 2: He gives half to family, so he has x/2 left. Step 3: He pays $250 to landlord, leaving him with x/2 - $250. Step 4: He has 3/7 of his pay left, so x/2 - $250 = 3x/7. Step 5: Solve for x: x/2 - $250 = 3x/7. Step 6: Simplify and solve to get x = $3,500. Therefore, the correct answer is B: $3,500. Summary: A: $3,600 - Incorrect. Does not satisfy the given conditions. C: $2,800 - Incorrect. Does not satisfy the given conditions. D: $1,750 - Incorrect. Does not satisfy the given conditions.
