  1. A recipe calls for 2/3 cup of sugar to make one batch of cookies. How many cups of sugar are needed to make 4 batches?

    Answer: 2 2/3 cups

    Multiply 2/3 by 4: (2/3) × 4 = 8/3. Converting to a mixed number: 8 ÷ 3 = 2 remainder 2, so 8/3 = 2 2/3 cups.

  2. Which of the following is equivalent to 5/8 expressed as a percent?

    Answer: 62.5%

    Divide 5 by 8 to get the decimal: 5 ÷ 8 = 0.625. Multiply by 100 to convert to a percent: 0.625 × 100 = 62.5%.

  3. A jacket originally priced at $80 is on sale for 35% off. What is the sale price?

    Answer: $52.00

    Find the discount: 35% of $80 = 0.35 × 80 = $28. Subtract from the original price: $80 − $28 = $52.

  4. What is the value of −6 + (−4) − (−10)?

    Answer: 0

    Subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive: −6 + (−4) − (−10) = −6 − 4 + 10 = −10 + 10 = 0.

  5. A car travels 180 miles in 3 hours. At the same speed, how far will it travel in 5 hours?

    Answer: 300 miles

    Find the speed: 180 ÷ 3 = 60 miles per hour. Then multiply by 5 hours: 60 × 5 = 300 miles.

  6. Which of the following correctly orders −2, 3/4, −0.5, 1, and −1/4 from greatest to least?

    Answer: 1, 3/4, −1/4, −0.5, −2

    Converting to decimals: 1 = 1.0, 3/4 = 0.75, −1/4 = −0.25, −0.5, −2. From greatest to least: 1, 0.75, −0.25, −0.5, −2, which is 1, 3/4, −1/4, −0.5, −2.
