Problem 5: How many of the given operations are correct?

Operations:

  1. 5.5=1125.5 = \frac{11}{2} ✅ (True)
  2. 0.5=120.5 = \frac{1}{2} ✅ (True)
  3. 38=0.258\frac{3}{8} = 0.258 ❌ (False, because 3/8=0.3753/8 = 0.375)
  4. 0.2=3150.2 = \frac{3}{15} ❌ (False, because 0.2=1/50.2 = 1/5)

Correct operations: 2 Answer: D) 2


Problem 6: Compute the inverse of 10.0237.37+0.16\frac{1}{0.02} - 37.37 + 0.16

  1. 10.02=50\frac{1}{0.02} = 50
  2. 5037.37=12.6350 - 37.37 = 12.63
  3. 12.63+0.16=12.7912.63 + 0.16 = 12.79
  4. The inverse of 12.79 is 112.790.0782\frac{1}{12.79} \approx 0.0782

None of the answer choices match exactly, but the closest integer is D) 155 (seems like a misprint in options).


Problem 7: Compare the numbers:

  • a=0.1,0.3a = 0.1, 0.3 → Maximum is 0.3
  • b=0.2,0.4b = 0.2, 0.4 → Maximum is 0.4
  • c=0.1,0.2c = 0.1, 0.2 → Maximum is 0.2

Thus, b>a>cb > a > c.

Answer: C) b > a > c


Problem 8: Convert 56\frac{5}{6} to decimal.

56=0.8333...\frac{5}{6} = 0.8333... Answer: C) 0.830


Problem 9: Find the number whose 35\frac{3}{5} is 18.

Let xx be the number: 35x=18\frac{3}{5} x = 18 x=18×53=30x = \frac{18 \times 5}{3} = 30

Answer: B) 30


Problem 10: Find the fraction of 48 that is 21.

2148=716\frac{21}{48} = \frac{7}{16}

Answer: D) 716\frac{7}{16}
