1. What is 1011_2 + 110_2, expressed in base 2?
  1. 11001_2
  2. 10001_2
  3. 1111_2
  4. 10101_2

Answer: B. 10001_2

1011_2 is 11 in base ten and 110_2 is 6, so their sum 17 is 10001_2.

2. Evaluate 3/4 - 2/5.
  1. 1/20
  2. 11/20
  3. 7/20
  4. 23/20

Answer: C. 7/20

Using denominator 20 gives 15/20 - 8/20 = 7/20.

3. A sum of 840 is divided in the ratio 2:3:7; how much does the smallest share receive?
  1. 140
  2. 120
  3. 210
  4. 490

Answer: A. 140

The ratio parts total 12, so each part is 840/12 = 70 and the smallest share is 2 x 70 = 140.

4. Round 58,476 to the nearest hundred.
  1. 58,400
  2. 58,470
  3. 58,600
  4. 58,500

Answer: D. 58,500

The tens digit is 7, so 58,476 rounds up from 58,400 to 58,500.

5. Evaluate 2^5 / 2^3.
  1. 2
  2. 4
  3. 8
