1. A soccer field is rectangular in shape and is 100 meters long and 75 meters wide. The hectare is a metric unit of area often used to measure larger areas. Given that 1 hectare = 10,000 square meters, which of the following represents the soccer field’s area in hectares?

A. 0.75 hectares
B. 7.5 hectares
C. 7,500 hectares
D. 75,000,000 hectares

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the area of the soccer field, multiply its length by its width: 100 meters × 75 meters = 7500 square meters. To convert this to hectares, divide by 10,000 (since 1 hectare = 10,000 square meters), resulting in 0.75 hectares. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert the area to hectares. B and C are off by a factor of 10, while D is off by a factor of 10,000.

2. Joshua needs more than 92 points to qualify for a scholarship. Each question is worth 4 points, and there are 30 questions. What inequality determines how many questions he must answer correctly?

A. 4x < 92
B. 4x > 92
C. 4x < 120
D. 4x > 120

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine the number of questions Joshua must answer correctly, we divide the total points required (92) by the points per question (4) to get 23. Since he needs more than 92 points, he must answer more than 23 questions correctly, which is represented by the inequality 4x > 92. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the requirement for Joshua to answer more than 92 points' worth of questions.

3. How many milliliters (mL) are there in a liter?

A. 1000 mL
B. 100 mL
C. 10 mL
D. 1 mL

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1000 mL. This is a standard conversion in the metric system where 1 liter is equivalent to 1000 milliliters. Choice B, 100 mL, is incorrect as it represents only a tenth of a liter. Choice C, 10 mL, is incorrect as it represents only a hundredth of a liter. Choice D, 1 mL, is significantly less than a liter, as it is only a thousandth of a liter.

4. How many kilometers is 4382 feet?

A. 1.336 kilometers
B. 14.376 kilometers
C. 1.437 kilometers
D. 13.336 kilometers

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert feet to kilometers, you need to divide the number of feet by 3280.84 (the number of feet in a kilometer). Therefore, 4382 feet is equal to 4382/3280.84 ≈ 1.336 kilometers. Choice B, 14.376 kilometers, is incorrect as it seems to be a miscalculation. Choice C, 1.437 kilometers, is also incorrect, as it is slightly off from the correct conversion. Choice D, 13.336 kilometers, is significantly higher than the correct answer and does not align with the conversion factor.

5. A car dealership’s commercials claim that this year’s models are 20% off the list price, plus they will pay the first 3 monthly payments. If a car is listed for $26,580, and the monthly payments are set at $250, what is the total potential savings?

A. $1,282
B. $5,566
C. $6,066
D. $20,514

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the total potential savings: First, find the 20% discount on the list price of $26,580: 0.20 × $26,580 = $5,316. Then, determine the savings over the first 3 months of payments: 3 months × $250/month = $750. Add the discount and the monthly payment savings to get the total potential savings: $5,316 + $750 = $6,066. Therefore, the correct answer is $6,066. Choice A, $1,282, is incorrect because it does not account for the total savings from both the discount and the monthly payments. Choice B, $5,566, is incorrect as it miscalculates the total savings by excluding the savings from the monthly payments. Choice D, $20,514, is incorrect as it does not consider the discount and only focuses on the list price.
