1. Four more than a number is 2 less than 5\6 of another number. Which equation represents this?

• A. x + 4 = 5\6y - 2
• B. x + 4 = 2 - 5\6y
• C. 4 + x = 5\6y + 2
• D. x + 4 = 5\6y - 2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The equation that represents the relationship is x + 4 = 5\6y - 2.

2. If (D) is the distance traveled and (R) is the rate of travel, which of the following represents the relationship between D and R for the equation D=2R?

• A. D is twice as much as R
• B. R is twice as much as D
• C. R is two times D
• D. D is two more than R

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The equation D=2R means that D equals 2 times R, which translates to D being twice the value of R. Therefore, choice A, 'D is twice as much as R,' is the correct representation of the relationship between D and R. Choice B, 'R is twice as much as D,' incorrectly reverses the roles of D and R. Choice C, 'R is two times D,' incorrectly states the relationship between R and D. Choice D, 'D is two more than R,' does not accurately reflect the relationship presented in the equation.

3. What is the volume of a cube with a side length of 3 cm?

• A. 9 cm³
• B. 27 cm³
• C. 18 cm³
• D. 12 cm³

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the volume of a cube, you cube the length of one side. In this case, the side length is 3 cm, so the volume is calculated as 3 cm * 3 cm * 3 cm = 27 cm³. Therefore, the correct answer is 27 cm³. Choice A (9 cm³), Choice C (18 cm³), and Choice D (12 cm³) are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the volume of a cube with a side length of 3 cm.

4. After a hurricane struck a Pacific island, donations began flooding into a disaster relief organization. The organization provided four options for donors. What percentage of the funds was donated to support construction costs?

• A. 49%
• B. 23%
• C. 18%
• D. 10%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B (23%). The information was obtained from the pie chart which indicated that 23% of the funds were allocated to support construction costs. Choice A (49%), Choice C (18%), and Choice D (10%) are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate percentage designated for construction costs according to the data provided.

5. What is the value of the sum of 3/4 and 5/8?

• A. 1 3/8
• B. 1 1/2
• C. 1 7/8
• D. 1 5/8

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the sum of fractions, they need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 8. So, 3/4 = 6/8. Adding 6/8 and 5/8 gives 11/8, which simplifies to 1 3/8. Therefore, the correct answer is 1 3/8, which corresponds to choice A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct sum of 3/4 and 5/8.
