Question 1 :

Which fraction is between 1/5 and 1/2 ?

(a)  1/10      (b)  3/10     (c)  4/5     (d)  9/10

Solution :

L.C.M of denominator of the given fractions is 10

1/5  =  (1/5) ⋅ (2/2)  =  2/10

1/2  =  (1/2) ⋅ (5/5)  =  5/10

So, 3/10 is the fraction lies between 1/5 and 1/2.

Solution :

In rectangle the number of sides is 4 and it has four right angles.

Question 5 :

Which number is divisible by 9 with a remainder of 1 ?

(a)  181   (b)  180    (c)  179  (d)  178

Solution :

Question 6 :

Shown below is a plan for a parking lot that a grocery store building. All angles shown in the plan are 90 degree.

According to the grocery store's plan, what will be the perimeter of the parking lot ? (P  =  s + s + s + s + s + s)

(a)  300 ft   (b)  260 ft   (c)  200 ft     (d)  160 ft

Solution :

Sum of length of all sides  = 

50 + 40 + 10 + 40 + 30 + 50 + 40

=  260 ft 

Question 7 :

What is the mode of the set of data ?

Time spent reading in minutes

(a)  15     (b)  25   (c)  30      (d)  45

Solution :

In the given data 30 is repeating 9 times. Hence the mode is 30.

Question 8 :

Use the number sequence to answer the question  

1, 4, 7, ___, 13, 16

What is the missing number in the sequence ?

(a)  9      (b)  10       (c)  11     (d)  12

Solution :

Difference  between two consecutive terms is 3.

1 + 3  =  4, 4 + 3  =  7, 7 + 3  =  10

Hence the answer is 10.

Question 9 :

Brendan tried to fill an empty vase with 6  1/6 cups of water, but he accidentally spilled 1  2/3 cups of water onto the floor. If he poured the rest of the water into the vase, how many cups of water ended up in the vase ?

(a)  2  2/3    (b)  3  1/2    (c)  4  1/3    (d)  4  1/2

Solution :

Capacity of vase  =  6  1/6 cups

Quantity of water spilled  =  1  2/3

Quantity of water poured  =  6  1/6  -  1  2/3

  =  (37/6) - (5/3)

  =  (37 - 10)/6

  =  27/6

  =  9/2

  =  4  1/2

Question 10 :

The chart below shows Anne's purchases at the store.

What is the total estimated cost ?

(a)  between $0 and $8

(b)  between $8 and $16

(c)  between $16 and $24

(d)  between $24 and $32

Solution :

Total cost  =  3(2.99) + 2(1.49) + 1(4.99) + 1(3.49)

  =  8.97 + 2.98 + 4.99 + 3.49

  =  20.43

Hence option c is correct.
