The CEPE is Madagascar's national primary-completion certificate, while entry to public lower secondary school also involves the entrance-to-Sixième process. MEN confirms the five-level primary pathway and a one-day multi-paper process in its official 2024 calendar, but complete 2026 logistics were not publicly specified in the materials reviewed. This English-language, four-option MCQ bank supports concept review and does not simulate or translate the official written papers.

B.5,893

C.5,913

D.6,003

Explanation: Adding column by column: 8 + 5 = 13 (write 3, carry 1); 1 + 2 + 7 = 10 (write 0, carry 1); 1 + 5 + 3 = 9; 4 + 1 = 5. The total is 5,903.

2What is the result of the subtraction: 8,240 - 3,615?

A.4,625

B.4,635

C.5,625

D.4,525

Explanation: Subtracting column by column: 10 - 5 = 5; 3 - 1 = 2; 12 - 6 = 6; 7 - 3 = 4. The difference is 4,625.

3What is the product of 45 multiplied by 20?

A.900

B.90

C.450

D.9,000

Explanation: Multiply 45 by 2 first: 45 * 2 = 90. Then append one zero for multiplying by 20: 90 * 10 = 900.

4What is the quotient and remainder of 127 divided by 5?

A.Quotient 25 and remainder 2

B.Quotient 24 and remainder 7

C.Quotient 26 and remainder 1

D.Quotient 25 and remainder 0

Explanation: 5 * 25 = 125. 127 - 125 = 2. Since remainder 2 < divisor 5, the Euclidean division gives quotient 25 and remainder 2.

5How many centimeters are there in 3.5 meters?

A.350 cm

B.35 cm

C.3,500 cm

D.0.35 cm

Explanation: 1 meter = 100 centimeters. Therefore, 3.5 m * 100 = 350 cm.

A.20.25

B.19.25

C.20.29

A.3/4

B.2/3

C.9/12

D.6/8
