Question 1: Find the average of the following numbers: 12, 14, 29, 38, 22

A)23.0

B)22.9

C)28.8

D)23.1

Answer:

To find the average of these 5 numbers add them together then divide by 5: 115 / 5 = 23.0 Question 2: If a square box has a volume of 8 in3in3 what's the perimeter of each side of the box?A)4 inches B)10 inches C)8 inches D)6 inches

Answer:

SOLUTION

A square box is a cube which means that length = width = height. Volume for a cubic box is the length of one side of the box cubed or V = s3s3 where s is the length of one side of the box. The cube root of 8 is

• so the size of each side of the box is

2.

The perimeter of a box is 2w + 2h which, in our case, is:

(2 inches x 2) + (2 inches x 2) = 4 inches + 4 inches = 8 inches

Question 3: Connie loaned Sam $1,000 at a yearly interest rate of 5%. After one year what is the interest owed on this loan?A)$50

B)$1,050

C)$60 D)$5

Answer:

SOLUTION

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate (5%) multiplied by the amount borrowed ($1,000). To get the interest charged first convert the interest rate from a percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100 (5 / 100) to get 0.05 then multiply 0.05 by $1,000 to get $50 NOTE When you're dealing with percentages you'll always need to convert the percent to a decimal by dividing by 100 before doing any calculations with it.

Question 4: 6(x+5)+8=2

A)-2 B)6 C)36 D)-6

Answer:

Explanation:

6x+30+8=2 6x+38=2 6x=-36 x=-6

Question 5: If n = 6 what's the value of 9n2+3n+29n2+3n+2 ?

A)342 B)306 C)344 D)340

Answer:

SOLUTION

9n2=9×62=9×36=3249n2=9×62=9×36=324 3n=3×6=183n=3×6=18

324+18+2=344

Question 6: Which of the following is the correct calculation for 7! :

A)0×1×2×3×4×5×6×70×1×2×3×4×5×6×7

B)1×2×3×4×5×6×7×81×2×3×4×5×6×7×8

C)1×2×3×4×5×61×2×3×4×5×6

D)1×2×3×4×5×6×7

Answer:

SOLUTION

The factorial of a number is the product of all positive integers less than or equal to the number. So, the factorial of 7 is 1×2×3×4×5×6×71×2×3×4×5×6×7 which is 5,040

Question 7: What's the circumference of a circle that has a radius of 6?

A)9.42

B)177.65

C)75.40

D)37.70

Answer:

SOLUTION

The circumference (C) of a circle in terms of the radius of the circle is defined as: C=2?rC=2?r

For this problem, that's:

C=2×3.1416×6=37.70

Question 8: The day the Johnson family arrived to their vacation destination the temperature reached to 100 degrees in the day and 20 degrees at night. What was the average temperature for the day?A)60 B)70 C)80 C)90

Answer:

A)60

To work this out we use the following equation:

(highest temperature + lowest temperature)/2 = (100+20)/2 = 60 degrees

Question 9: What is the quotient of 6.69 and 0.83?

A)7.52

B)8.06

C)5.86

B)5.55

Answer:

SOLUTION

You find the quotient of two numbers by dividing them. 6.69 / 0.83 = 8.06 Question 10: If a rectangular swimming pool has a perimeter of 132 feet and is 21 feet wide what is its area?

A)945 SF

B)2772SF

C)111 SF

D)1890 SF

Answer:

Answer: A)945 SF

Area=L X W Perimeter= 2(L) +2(W)

L=132 W=21

132=2(L)+2 *21

132=2(L)+42

132-42=2L

90=2L L=45 Area=4521=945 SF Question 11: The distance between cities A and B is approximately 1,800 miles. If you drive an average of 55 miles per hour, how many hours will it take you to drive from city A to city B?A)approximately 22 hours B)approximately 36 hours C)approximately 24 hours D)approximately 33 hours

Answer:

Use the formula for distance, speed and time:

*Distance = speed x time 1800 mile = 55 miles per hour x time Time = 1800/55 = 32.73 hours or approximately 33 hours Question 12: If a circle has a radius of 18 feet, whats the closet approximation for circumference?

A) 108

B)113 C)54 D)36

Answer:

Circumference= 3.14 * 2
