1. What is the product of 2/3 and 3/4?

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators to get the new numerator and multiply the denominators to get the new denominator. Therefore, multiplying 2/3 by 3/4 results in (2*3) / (3*4) = 6/12. Simplifying 6/12 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 6 gives 1. Hence, the correct answer is 1. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct product of multiplying 2/3 by 3/4.

2. How can you distinguish between these three types of graphs - scatterplots: Quadratic, Exponential, Linear?

• A. Linear: straight line; Quadratic: U-shape; Exponential: rises or falls quickly in one direction
• B. Linear: curved line; Quadratic: straight line; Exponential: horizontal line
• C. Linear: zigzag line; Quadratic: U-shape; Exponential: flat line
• D. Linear: straight line; Quadratic: W-shape; Exponential: vertical line

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To differentiate between the three types of graphs - scatterplots, a linear graph will display a straight line, a quadratic graph will have a U-shape, and an exponential graph will show a rapid rise or fall in one direction. Choice B is incorrect because linear graphs are represented by straight lines, not curved lines. Choice C is incorrect as linear graphs do not exhibit zigzag patterns, and exponential graphs do not typically result in flat lines. Choice D is incorrect because quadratic graphs form a U-shape, not a W-shape, and exponential graphs do not represent vertical lines.

3. What is the value of the sum of 0.75 and 0.625?

• A. 0.875
• B. 1.375
• C. 1.625
• D. 0.125

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Adding 0.75 and 0.625 gives: 0.75+0.625=1.375.

4. Robert secures three new clients every eight months. After how many months has he secured 24 new clients?

• A. 64
• B. 58
• C. 52
• D. 66

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To determine the number of months it takes for Robert to secure 24 new clients, we set up a proportion: 3 clients / 8 months = 24 clients / x months. Cross multiplying gives 3x = 8 * 24. Solving for x results in x = 64 / 3 = 52. Therefore, after 52 months, Robert has secured 24 new clients. Choice A (64) is incorrect as it miscalculates the solution. Choices B (58) and D (66) are also incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the given information.

5. Which of the following is the decimal form of 87.5%?

• A. 875
• B. 8,750
• C. 0.875
• D. 8.75

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert a percentage to a decimal, you move the decimal point two places to the left. Therefore, 87.5% as a decimal is 0.875. Choice A (875) is incorrect as it represents the percentage without converting to a decimal. Choice B (8,750) is incorrect as it represents the percentage in whole numbers without decimal conversion. Choice D (8.75) is incorrect as it represents 875% instead of 87.5%.
