1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Approximately how many people voted for the proposition if 9.5% of the town's population of 51,623 voted for it in a municipal election?

• A. 3,000
• B. 5,000
• C. 7,000
• D. 10,000

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the approximate number of people who voted for the proposition, multiply the town's population by the percentage that voted for it. 9.5% of 51,623 is about 0.095 * 51,623 ≈ 4,904. Rounded to the nearest thousand, this gives an estimate of 5,000 people. Therefore, choice B, '5,000,' is the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the calculated estimation.

4. At the beginning of the day, Xavier has 20 apples. At lunch, he meets his sister Emma and gives her half of his apples. After lunch, he stops by his neighbor Jim's house and gives him 6 of his apples. He then uses ¾ of his remaining apples to make an apple pie for dessert at dinner. At the end of the day, how many apples does Xavier have left?

• A. 4
• B. 6
• C. 2
• D. 1

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Xavier starts with 20 apples. He gives half to Emma, leaving him with 10 apples. After giving 6 more to Jim, he has 4 apples left. Using ¾ of the remaining 4 apples for the pie leaves him with 1 apple at the end of the day. Choice A is incorrect because it doesn't account for the apple pie Xavier made. Choices B and C are incorrect as they don't reflect the correct calculations of apples remaining after each step.

5. What kind of relationship between a predictor and a dependent variable is indicated by a line that travels from the bottom-left of a graph to the upper-right of the graph?

• A. Positive
• B. Negative
• C. Exponential
• D. Logarithmic

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A line that travels from the bottom-left of a graph to the upper-right of the graph signifies a positive relationship between the predictor and dependent variable. This indicates that as the predictor variable increases, the dependent variable also increases. Choice B, 'Negative,' is incorrect as a negative relationship would be depicted by a line that travels from the top-left to the bottom-right of the graph. Choices C and D, 'Exponential' and 'Logarithmic,' respectively, represent specific types of relationships characterized by non-linear patterns, unlike the linear positive relationship shown in the described scenario.
