Question 1: The sum of the measures of the angles of a trapezoid is:
- 360 degrees
- 540 degrees
- 180 degrees
- 720 degrees
Answer:
Answer: A
All quadrilaterals have angles that total 360 degrees.Question 2: 150 centimeters is equivalent to:
- 1 meter
- 1 1?2 meters
- 750 millimeters
- 1 yard
Answer:
Answer: B
100 centimeters equal 1 meter, so 150 centimeters equal 1 1?2 meters.
Question 3: If (5 + 1)(6 ÷ 3)(8 -
5) = (3 + 3)x, then x =
- 12
- 3
- 4
- 6
Answer:
Answer: D
Solve the first half of the equation. (6) (2) (3) = 36. Therefore, 36 = (3 + 3)x, which turns into 36 = 6x.Isolate x.36 ÷ 6 = 6x ÷ 6
- = x
- 15 feet
- 14 feet
- 16 feet
- 12 feet
To check your answer, substitute 6 for x.Question 4: A carpenter needs to cut four sections, each 3-feet 8-inches long, from a piece of molding. If the board is only sold by the foot, what's the shortest length of board she can buy?
Answer:
Answer: A)15
Convert the mixed number to inches. 3 feet 8 inches equals 44 inches (12 inches per foot × 3 feet = 36 inches + 8 inches = 44 inches). 44 inches (length each section needs to be) × 4 (number of sections needed) = 176 inches (total molding needed). To determine the amount of molding needed in feet, convert 176 inches into feet by dividing 176 inches by 12 inches. You get 142?3 feet, so the shortest board length is 15 feet.Question 5: As a member of FEMA, you're required to set up a contingency plan to supply meals to residents of a town devastated by a tornado. A breakfast ration weighs 12 ounces and the lunch and dinner rations weigh 18 ounces each. Assuming a food truck can carry 3 tons and that each resident will receive 3 meals per day, how many residents can you feed from one truck during a 10-day period?
- 150 residents
- 200 residents
- 250 residents
- 300 residents
Answer:
Answer: B
One ton = 2,000 pounds, so one truck can carry 6,000 pounds. There are 16 ounces in a pound, so one truck can carry 96,000 ounces. The total daily ration for each resident is 12 ounces + 18 ounces + 18 ounces, or 48 ounces. The number of daily rations supplied can be expressed as 96,000 ÷ 48 = 2,000.Dividing 2,000 by 10 days results in 200 residents who can be fed by one truck during this 10-day period.
Question 6: If 2 + x ? 4, what is the value of x = ?
- 6
- 2
- 4
D. 1/2
Answer:
Answer: B
Solve as you would solve for any unknown. 2 + x ? 4 = 2 + x - 2 ? 4 -
- Or, x ?
- To check your answer, substitute 2 for x. 2 + 2 ?
- True, so the answer is correct.
- y = 2x - 1
- y = 2x + 1
- x = 2y - 1
- x = 2y + 1
Question 7: What's the equation of a line that passes through points (0, -1) and (2, 3)?
Answer:
Answer: A
The slope of the line is equal to the change in y values divided by the change in x values. The change in
y values is 4 (3 - (-1)). The change in x values is 2 (2 - 0). 4?2 =
- To find the intercept, substitute 0 for x in the equation y = 2x +
- -1 = 2(0) +
- Therefore, b = -1, so the equation is y = 2x - 1.
- 25
Question 8: Solve for the factorial of 5 (5!):
B. 125
C. 120
- 15
Answer:
Answer: 120
The factorial (!) of a number is the number multiplied by the next smallest whole number, then by the next smallest whole number, and so on (down to 1). 5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120.
