1. What is the total perimeter of a playground fence that has a rectangular section (5m by 3m) attached to a semicircular section with a radius of 2m?

• A. 13m
• B. 16m
• C. 19m
• D. 22m

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the total perimeter, we first calculate the perimeter of the semicircle, which is half of a full circle, so the formula is π * radius. For the semicircle with a radius of 2m, the perimeter is approximately 3.14 * 2m = 6.28m. Next, we calculate the perimeter of the rectangular section by adding twice the length and twice the width (2 * length + 2 * width). For the rectangle with dimensions 5m by 3m, the perimeter is 2 * 5m + 2 * 3m = 10m + 6m = 16m. Finally, we sum the perimeters of the semicircle and the rectangle to get the total perimeter: 6.28m + 16m = 22.28m. Rounding to the nearest meter, the total perimeter is approximately 22m. Therefore, the correct answer is 22m. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately calculate the total perimeter of the playground fence.

2. Divide: 11 ÷ 5 =

• A. 1.424
• B. 1.622
• C. 2.2
• D. 2

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To divide 11 by 5, you need to perform the division operation. 11 divided by 5 equals 2.2. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (1.424) and Choice B (1.622) are incorrect as they do not result from the division of 11 by 5. Choice D (2) is close but not accurate, as the exact result of 11 divided by 5 is 2.2.

3. Divide: 92 ÷ 11 =

• A. 8 r3
• B. 8 r4
• C. 8 r7
• D. 9 r1

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To divide 92 by 11, you get 8 as the whole number part of the quotient. The remainder is 4, so the correct answer is 8 r4. Choice A, 8 r3, is incorrect because the remainder is 4, not 3. Choice C, 8 r7, is incorrect as the remainder cannot be greater than the divisor. Choice D, 9 r1, is incorrect as the whole number part of the quotient is 8, not 9.

4. Solve for y if y = 3: 4y + 21/y

• A. 19
• B. 7.7
• C. 23/3
• D. 11

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the expression 4y + 21/y when y = 3, substitute y = 3: 4 * 3 + 21 / 3 = 12 + 7 = 19. Therefore, the correct answer is 19. Choice A, '19,' is the correct result of the expression when y = 3. Choice B, '7.7,' is incorrect as the correct answer is an integer, not a decimal. Choice C, '23/3,' is incorrect as it is not the simplified integer result of the expression. Choice D, '11,' is incorrect as it does not result from the given expression when y = 3.

5. How many kilometers is equivalent to 200 meters?

• A. 50 kilometers
• B. 20 kilometers
• C. 12 kilometers
• D. 0.2 kilometers

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert meters to kilometers, divide the number of meters by 1000, as 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. Therefore, 200 meters is equivalent to 200 / 1000 = 0.2 kilometers. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not correctly convert meters to kilometers. A provides an answer that would be correct if converting from kilometers to meters. B and C are much larger distances than what 200 meters represent.
