Question 1: What is the fraction 3/4 expressed as a decimal?
- 0.34
- 0.50
- 0.70
- 0.75 (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 0.75
Dividing the numerator by the denominator gives 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75.
Question 2: If a car travels at 60 miles per hour for 2.5 hours, how far does it travel?
- 120 miles
- 130 miles
- 150 miles (Correct answer)
- 160 miles
Correct answer: 150 miles
Distance = Rate × Time = 60 × 2.5 = 150 miles.
Question 3: What is the mean (average) of the numbers 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20?
- 10
- 12 (Correct answer)
- 14
- 16
Correct answer: 12
Mean = sum ÷ count = (4 + 8 + 12 + 16 + 20) ÷ 5 = 60 ÷ 5 = 12.
Question 4: Which fraction is equivalent to the decimal 0.6?
- 1/2
- 3/5 (Correct answer)
- 2/3
- 4/7

Question 5: If x + 7 = 15, what is the value of x?
- 6
- 7
- 8 (Correct answer)
- 9
Correct answer: 8
Subtract 7 from both sides of the equation: x = 15 − 7 = 8.
Question 6: What is the area of a triangle with a base of 10 and a height of 6?
- 16
- 30 (Correct answer)
- 60
- 20
Correct answer: 30
Area of a triangle = (base × height) ÷ 2 = (10 × 6) ÷ 2 = 30.
