Tanong 1 ng 15
Ipakita ang sagot
Sagot: B. 12
3/4 = 12/16, because you multiply the top and bottom by 4. So 3/4 in is 12 sixteenth marks.
-
Tanong 2 ng 15
Ipakita ang sagot
Sagot: C. 5/8 in
Divide the top and the bottom by the same number. 10 ÷ 2 = 5 and 16 ÷ 2 = 8, so 10/16 = 5/8.
-
Tanong 3 ng 15
Ipakita ang sagot
Sagot: B. 0.875 in
Divide the top by the bottom: 7 ÷ 8 = 0.875. (0.625 is 5/8 and 0.75 is 3/4.)
-
Tanong 4 ng 15
Ipakita ang sagot
Sagot: D. 4 1/8 in
Change 3/4 to 6/8, then add: 3/8 + 6/8 = 9/8 = 1 1/8. Add the whole numbers (2 + 1 = 3) and the carried 1 to get 4 1/8 in.
-
Tanong 5 ng 15
Ipakita ang sagot
Sagot: D. 60 3/8 in
Borrow 1 inch: 96 = 95 8/8. Then 95 8/8 − 35 5/8 = 60 3/8 in.
-
Tanong 6 ng 15
Ipakita ang sagot
Sagot: C. 73 1/2 in
Pieces: 4 × 18 1/4 = 73 in. Kerf: 4 × 1/8 = 1/2 in. Total 73 + 1/2 = 73 1/2 in.
-
Tanong 7 ng 15
Ipakita ang sagot
Sagot: D. 9 3/4 in
Change 1 5/8 to an improper fraction: 13/8. Then 6 × 13/8 = 78/8 = 9 6/8 = 9 3/4 in.
-
Tanong 8 ng 15
Ipakita ang sagot
Sagot: B. 14 3/8 in
72 ÷ 5 = 14.4 in. 0.4 × 16 = 6.4 sixteenths, which rounds to 6/16 = 3/8. So each space is about 14 3/8 in.
-
Tanong 9 ng 15
Ipakita ang sagot
Sagot: D. 12 ft 9 in
Only the decimal part changes: 0.75 ft × 12 = 9 in. So 12.75 ft = 12 ft 9 in, not 12 ft 7.5 in.
-
Tanong 10 ng 15
Ipakita ang sagot
Sagot: D. 1.047 m
4 cm = 0.04 m and 7 mm = 0.007 m. 1 + 0.04 + 0.007 = 1.047 m.
-
Tanong 11 ng 15
Ipakita ang sagot
Sagot: B. 2 5/16 in
Each small mark is 1/16 in, so 5 marks = 5/16 in. The length is 2 5/16 in.
-
Tanong 12 ng 15
Ipakita ang sagot
Sagot: D. 2.61 m
Put everything in metres first: 760 mm = 0.76 m. Then 1.25 + 0.76 + 0.6 = 2.61 m.
-
Tanong 13 ng 15
Ipakita ang sagot
Sagot: B. 5/16 in
Multiply by 16: 0.3125 × 16 = 5. So 0.3125 in = 5/16 in.
-
Tanong 14 ng 15
Ipakita ang sagot
Sagot: B. 5/8 in
Change each to a decimal: 5/8 = 0.625, 19/32 = 0.594, 0.6 and 9/16 = 0.5625. 0.625 is the largest.
-
Tanong 15 ng 15
Ipakita ang sagot
Sagot: B. 23 11/16 in
Half of 47 is 23 1/2 = 23 8/16, and half of 3/8 (6/16) is 3/16. 23 8/16 + 3/16 = 23 11/16 in.

Ang dapat malaman bago ang pagsusulit
- The Government of Canada's Skills for Success model defines numeracy as the ability to find, understand, use and report mathematical information in words, numbers, symbols and graphics.
- Numeracy is one of nine Skills for Success. The model describes five numeracy proficiency levels; at the highest level, tasks have several steps and numbers may need to be derived or estimated.
- Under the Weights and Measures Act, all units of measurement used in Canada are based on the International System of Units (SI).
- The Act defines the yard as exactly 0.9144 metre and the inch as 1/36 of a yard, so 1 inch is exactly 25.4 mm.
- The Act defines the Canadian gallon as 0.00454609 cubic metre (4.54609 L) and the pound as 0.45359237 kilogram.
- Red Seal exam questions are multiple choice with four choices and one correct answer, and the pass mark is 70%.
- The Red Seal exam guide advises candidates to know the math concepts used in their trade and to estimate the answer to a calculation question first.
- The Canada Revenue Agency lists the GST rate in Alberta as 5%, with no provincial sales tax.
Mga madalas itanong
What is the Certificate of Completion, and what is it not?
It shows that you finished this course and scored at least 80% on the final assessment. It is not an accredited qualification, a Red Seal or apprenticeship credential, or a government, employer or vendor certification.
Will this course prepare me for the Red Seal exam?
It practises the general math that many trades use, which can help. The Red Seal exam also tests the full knowledge of your trade, so study your trade's occupational standard and official Red Seal preparation materials too.
Does the course use metric or imperial units?
Both, because Canadian job sites use both. Lesson 2 shows how to convert between them using the exact definitions in the Weights and Measures Act.
Can I use a calculator?
Yes. Most questions are easier with a calculator, and the trigonometry questions need one set to degrees. Estimate the answer first so you can spot a slip.
How does the final assessment work?
It has 35 questions drawn at random from the course question bank, with a 35-minute time limit. You need 80% to pass, and each attempt gives a new mix of questions.
Accredited ba o opisyal na kinikilala ang sertipiko?
Hindi. Ito ay pribadong sertipiko ng pagkumpleto para lamang sa kaalaman. Hindi ito kinikilala, hindi accredited at hindi inaprubahan ng anumang pamahalaan, ahensyang nagbibigay ng lisensya, regulator o institusyong pang-edukasyon, at hindi nito pinapalitan ang anumang lisensya, sertipikasyon o pagsasanay na hinihingi ng batas.
