TABE Math Computations Practice Test 1

Question 1

43 x 4 = ?

Accepted Answer

172

Answer

To solve 43 x 4, you perform standard multiplication. First, multiply 4 by 3, which equals 12; write down 2 and carry over 1. Next, multiply 4 by 4, which equals 16, and add the carried-over 1 to get 17. Combining these results yields 172.

Question 2

2/9 + 3/9 = ?

Accepted Answer

5/9

Answer

When adding fractions that have the same denominator, you simply add their numerators and keep the denominator unchanged. For 2/9 + 3/9, you add 2 and 3 to get 5, while the denominator remains 9. Therefore, the sum is 5/9.

Question 3

What is 20% of 100?

Accepted Answer

20

Answer

To calculate a percentage of a number, convert the percentage to a decimal and then multiply it by the number. 20% as a decimal is 0.20. Multiplying 0.20 by 100 gives you 20, so 20% of 100 is 20.

Question 4

3^3 + 1^3 = ?

Accepted Answer

28

Answer

This problem requires calculating powers and then adding the results. First, 3^3 means 3 multiplied by itself three times (3 x 3 x 3 = 27). Second, 1^3 means 1 multiplied by itself three times (1 x 1 x 1 = 1). Adding these two results, 27 + 1, gives a total of 28.

Question 5

1542 - 517 = ?

Accepted Answer

1025

Answer

To solve 1542 - 517, perform subtraction column by column, borrowing when necessary. Starting from the right, 2 minus 7 requires borrowing, making it 12 minus 7 equals 5. Then, 3 minus 1 equals 2. Next, 5 minus 5 equals 0. Finally, 1 minus 0 equals 1. The correct answer is 1025.
