1. Which unit of measurement is larger, inches or centimeters?

• A. Inches are larger
• B. Centimeters are larger
• C. They are the same size
• D. It depends on the measurement

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Inches are larger than centimeters. This is because one inch is equivalent to 2.54 centimeters. Therefore, when comparing the two units, inches are greater in length than centimeters. Choice B is incorrect as centimeters are smaller than inches. Choice C is incorrect as inches and centimeters are not the same size. Choice D is incorrect as the relationship between inches and centimeters is fixed, with inches being larger in general.

2. A consumer makes a $400 down payment on a television that costs $1,570. Which of the following is the number of months it will take to pay off the television with monthly payments of $100?

• A. 12
• B. 16
• C. 15
• D. 11

Correct answer: A

Rationale: After the $400 down payment, the remaining balance is $1,170. With monthly payments of $100, it will take 12 months to pay off the remaining balance. Therefore, the correct answer is 12 months. Choice B (16) is incorrect as it exceeds the required timeframe. Choice C (15) is incorrect as it is close but still one month over the correct timeframe. Choice D (11) is incorrect as it underestimates the time needed to pay off the remaining balance.

3. Which statement about multiplication and division is true?

• A. The product of the quotient and the dividend is the divisor.
• B. The product of the dividend and the divisor is the quotient.
• C. The product of the quotient and the divisor is the dividend.
• D. None of the above.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In division, the dividend is the number being divided, the divisor is the number you are dividing by, and the quotient is the result. Multiplying the quotient by the divisor gives the original dividend. This is the reverse of the division operation. Therefore, the correct statement is that the product of the quotient and the divisor equals the dividend, making option C correct. Choices A and B provide incorrect relationships between the terms dividend, divisor, quotient, and product, making them inaccurate. Option D is a general statement that does not provide the correct relationship between multiplication and division terms.

4. If , then

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If \(2x = 6\), then solving for \(x\), we have \(x = \frac{6}{2} = 3\). So, if \(x = 3\), then \(x+1 = 3+1 = 4\). Therefore, the value of \(x+1\) would be 4.

5. What is the mathematical expression for 'Twelve less than thrice a number'?

• A. 3x-12
• B. 12-3x
• C. 3-12x
• D. 12x-3

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The phrase 'thrice a number' translates to 3x, and 'twelve less than' means subtracting 12 from it. Therefore, the correct expression is 3x-12. Choice B, '12-3x', represents '12 less than a number thrice,' which is the opposite of the given phrase. Choice C, '3-12x', does not correctly interpret the phrase provided. Choice D, '12x-3', represents 'a number thrice less than twelve,' which is not the same as the original phrase.
