Q1. Round the number 5.852 to one decimal place.
A. 5.8
B. 5.9
C. 6.0
D. 5.85
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B. 5.9
To round to one decimal place, look at the second decimal digit. It is 5, so you round the first decimal digit up. 5.8 becomes 5.9.
Q2. Which of these decimals is equivalent to 3/5?
A. 0.35
B. 3.5
C. 0.6
D. 0.53
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C. 0.6
To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. 3 ÷ 5 = 0.6. Alternatively, 3/5 is equivalent to 6/10, which is 0.6.
Q3. A car travels a distance of 90 miles in 1 hour and 30 minutes. What is the average speed of the car in miles per hour (mph)?
A. 90 mph
B. 45 mph
C. 135 mph
D. 60 mph
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: D. 60 mph
First, convert the time into hours. 1 hour and 30 minutes is 1.5 hours. Speed is calculated as Distance ÷ Time. So, the average speed is 90 miles ÷ 1.5 hours = 60 mph.
