Question 1: What is 4,836 − 1,979?
- 2,757
- 2,847
- 2,857 (Correct answer)
- 2,967
Correct answer: 2,857
4,836 − 1,979 = 2,857. Subtract carefully with regrouping: 6−9 requires borrowing, giving 16−9=7; 2−7 requires borrowing, and so on.
Question 2: What is the product of 47 × 38?
- 1,696
- 1,706 (Correct answer)
- 1,786
- 1,986
Correct answer: 1,706
47 × 38 = 47 × 30 + 47 × 8 = 1,410 + 376 = 1,786.
Question 3: Divide: 2,184 ÷ 24 = ?
- 81
- 89
- 91 (Correct answer)
- 93
Correct answer: 91
2,184 ÷ 24 = 91. Check: 24 × 91 = 24 × 90 + 24 × 1 = 2,160 + 24 = 2,184. ✓
Question 4: What is 3/4 + 5/6?
- 8/10
- 1 7/12 (Correct answer)
- 1 1/2
- 1 2/3
Correct answer: 1 7/12
Find a common denominator of 12. 3/4 = 9/12 and 5/6 = 10/12. 9/12 + 10/12 = 19/12 = 1 7/12.
Question 5: What is 15% of 240?
- 30
- 34
- 36 (Correct answer)
- 40
Correct answer: 36
15% of 240 = 0.15 × 240 = 36. You can also compute 10% of 240 = 24, plus 5% of 240 = 12, giving 24 + 12 = 36.
Question 6: Simplify: 5² + √49 − 3 × 4
- 10
- 14 (Correct answer)
- 20
- 32
Correct answer: 14
Follow order of operations (PEMDAS): 5² = 25, √49 = 7, 3 × 4 = 12. Then 25 + 7 − 12 = 20.
