1. Complete the following equation: 5 + 3 × 4 - 6 / 2 = ?

• A. 5
• B. 9
• C. 11
• D. 7

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To solve this equation, follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS): First, perform multiplication and division from left to right. 3 × 4 equals 12, and 6 / 2 equals 3. Then, carry out addition and subtraction from left to right. 5 + 12 - 3 equals 14, not 9. Therefore, the correct answer is 14, making choice B the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D can be eliminated as they do not match the correct result obtained by following the order of operations.

2. What is the number of students who said their favorite color is blue if 35% of 100 students chose blue as their favorite color?

• A. 35
• B. 25
• C. 20
• D. 10

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the number of students who said their favorite color is blue, we calculate 35% of 100, which is (35/100) * 100 = 35. Therefore, 35 students said their favorite color is blue. Choice B is incorrect because it represents the percentage of students who chose red. Choice C is incorrect as it represents the percentage of students who chose green. Choice D is incorrect as it represents the percentage of students who chose yellow.

3. A recipe calls for 5.5 teaspoons of vanilla. 1 teaspoon equals approximately 4.93 mL. Which of the following is the correct amount of vanilla in mL?

• A. 10.2 mL
• B. 12 mL
• C. 7.43 mL
• D. 27 mL

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert the amount of vanilla from teaspoons to milliliters, we multiply the number of teaspoons by the conversion factor of 4.93 mL/teaspoon. 5.5 teaspoons * 4.93 mL/teaspoon = 27.115 mL, which rounds to 27 mL. Therefore, the correct amount of vanilla in mL is 27 mL. Choice A (10.2 mL), Choice B (12 mL), and Choice C (7.43 mL) are incorrect as they do not correctly convert the given amount of teaspoons to milliliters based on the provided conversion factor.

4. 3(x-2)=12. Solve the equation above for x. Which of the following is the correct answer?

• A. 6
• B. -2
• C. -4
• D. 2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the equation 3(x-2)=12, first distribute the 3: 3x - 6 = 12. Next, isolate x by adding 6 to both sides: 3x = 18. Finally, divide by 3 to find x: x = 6. Therefore, the correct answer is A (6). Choice B (-2) is incorrect as it does not satisfy the equation. Choice C (-4) is also incorrect as it does not satisfy the equation. Choice D (2) is incorrect as it does not satisfy the equation either.

5. A school has 15 teachers and 20 teaching assistants. They have 200 students. What is the ratio of faculty to students?

• A. 3:20
• B. 4:17
• C. 3:02
• D. 7:40

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The total number of faculty members is 15 teachers + 20 teaching assistants = 35. The ratio of faculty to students is then 35:200, which simplifies to 7:40. Further simplifying by dividing both numbers by 5 gives the ratio 4:20, which can be simplified to 4:17. Therefore, the correct ratio is 4:17. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect ratios and do not match the calculated ratio of faculty members to students in this scenario.
