1. A lab technician took 500 milliliters of blood from a patient. The technician used 16.66% of the blood for further tests. How many milliliters of blood were used for further tests? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the amount of blood used for further tests, we multiply 500 mL by 0.1666 (equivalent to 16.66%). This calculation results in 83.3, which rounded to the nearest hundredth is 83.33. Therefore, 83.33 milliliters of blood were used for further tests. Choice A is incorrect as it does not consider rounding to the nearest hundredth. Choices B and D are slightly off due to incorrect rounding. Choice C is the correct answer after rounding to the nearest hundredth.

2. A farmer had about 150 bags of potatoes on his trailer. Each bag contained from 23 to 27 pounds of potatoes. What is the best estimate of the total number of pounds of potatoes on the farmer’s trailer?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To estimate the total number of pounds of potatoes on the farmer's trailer, we can use the average weight of a bag of potatoes. The average weight is calculated by adding the minimum and maximum weights of the bags and dividing by 2: (23 + 27) / 2 = 25 pounds. Next, multiply the average weight by the total number of bags: 25 pounds/bag * 150 bags = 3,750 pounds. Therefore, the best estimate of the total number of pounds of potatoes on the farmer's trailer is 3,750 pounds. Choice A (3,000 pounds) is too low as it underestimates the total weight. Choice C (4,100 pounds) and Choice D (5,000 pounds) are too high as they overestimate the total weight.

3. Simplify (x^2 - y^2) / (x - y)

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The expression π‘₯^2 - 𝑦^2 is a difference of squares, which follows the identity: π‘₯^2 - 𝑦^2 = (π‘₯ + 𝑦)(π‘₯ - 𝑦). Therefore, the given expression becomes: (π‘₯^2 - 𝑦^2) / (π‘₯ - 𝑦) = (π‘₯ + 𝑦)(π‘₯ - 𝑦) / (π‘₯ - 𝑦). Since (π‘₯ - 𝑦) appears in both the numerator and the denominator, they cancel each other out, leaving π‘₯ + 𝑦. Thus, the simplified form of (π‘₯^2 - 𝑦^2) / (π‘₯ - 𝑦) is π‘₯ + 𝑦. Therefore, the correct answer is A (x + y). Option B (x - y) is incorrect as it does not result from simplifying the given expression. Option C (1) is incorrect as it does not account for the variables x and y present in the expression. Option D ((x + y)/(x - y)) is incorrect as it presents the simplified form in a different format than the correct answer.

4. Half of a circular garden with a radius of 11.5 feet needs weeding. Find the area in square feet that needs weeding. Round to the nearest hundredth. Use 3.14 for Ο€.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The formula for the area of a full circle is calculated as Area = Ο€ Γ— (radiusΒ²). When finding the area of half a circle, we multiply by 0.5. Thus, the formula becomes Area = 0.5 Γ— Ο€ Γ— (radiusΒ²). Given that the radius of the circular garden is 11.5 feet, the calculation using Ο€ = 3.14 is as follows: Area = 0.5 Γ— 3.14 Γ— (11.5Β²) = 0.5 Γ— 3.14 Γ— 132.25 = 0.5 Γ— 415.27 = 207.64 square feet. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct calculation for finding the area of half a circular garden with a radius of 11.5 feet.

5. Solve |x| = 10.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The absolute value of x is equal to 10 when x is either -10 or 10. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not satisfy the equation |x| = 10. For choice B, -11 and 11 do not satisfy the condition. Choices C and D also do not provide solutions that meet the equation's requirement.
