1. A honeycomb cell has six equal sides, each measuring 8mm. What is its perimeter?

• A. 32mm
• B. 40mm
• C. 48mm
• D. 56mm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the perimeter of a shape with equal sides, you multiply the length of one side by the number of sides. In this case, the honeycomb cell has 6 sides, each measuring 8mm. Therefore, the perimeter is calculated as perimeter = number of sides * side length = 6 * 8mm = 48mm. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the total length around the honeycomb cell with six sides.

2. What is the result of subtracting 4.7 from 9.5?

• A. 4.8
• B. 4.9
• C. 4.6
• D. 4.7

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct subtraction is 9.5 - 4.7 = 4.8. Therefore, the correct answer is 4.8. Choice B (4.9) is incorrect because 9.5 - 4.7 is not equal to 4.9. Choice C (4.6) is incorrect as it is not the result of subtracting 4.7 from 9.5. Choice D (4.7) is the number being subtracted and not the result of the subtraction.

3. Solve for x: 4x - 8 = 16.

• A. x = 7
• B. x = 7
• C. x = 4
• D. x = 6

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To solve the equation 4x - 8 = 16, first, add 8 to both sides to isolate 4x: 4x = 24. Then, divide by 4 to solve for x: x = 6. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A, x = 7, is incorrect as the correct solution is x = 6. Choices B and C are duplicates of choice A and are also incorrect.

4. A car travels 60 miles per hour for 2.5 hours. How far does the car travel?

• A. 120 miles
• B. 150 miles
• C. 180 miles
• D. 170 miles

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total distance traveled, multiply the speed of the car (60 miles per hour) by the time it traveled (2.5 hours): 60 miles/hour * 2.5 hours = 150 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total distance traveled by the car.

5. After the young mother goes shopping and spends $101.85 on groceries, $21.90 at the dry cleaners, and $42.66 at the pet store, she has $200.00 in cash. How much money would she have left after her day of shopping?

• A. $33.59
• B. $29.59
• C. $25.59
• D. $21.59

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, $33.59. To find out how much money she would have left, we need to calculate the total spending by adding the amounts spent at the groceries, dry cleaners, and pet store: $101.85 + $21.90 + $42.66 = $166.41. Subtract the total spending from the initial cash amount to determine the remaining cash: $200.00 - $166.41 = $33.59. Choice B, $29.59, is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the correct calculation. Choices C and D, $25.59 and $21.59 respectively, are also incorrect as they do not consider the correct total spending amount and subtraction from the initial cash.
