1. Which of the following is not a negative value?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To identify the negative value, simplify each expression. A) simplifies to 6 which is positive. B) simplifies to 0 which is neither positive nor negative. C) simplifies to -11 which is negative. D) simplifies to -30 which is negative. Therefore, only choice B results in a non-negative value, making it the correct answer.

2. What is the sixth number in the sequence 5, 6, 7, 8, 9?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In the given sequence 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, the sixth number would come after 9, not after the fifth number in the sequence. To find the sixth number, we need to continue the pattern after 9. The next number after 9 would be 10, making it the sixth number in the sequence. Therefore, the correct answer is not listed among the choices provided. Choice A, 8, is the fifth number in the sequence. Choice B, 10, is the number right after the sixth number. Choice D, 12, is not in the sequence at all, making it incorrect. Thus, the correct answer is 11.

3. How many gallons are in 1,000 fluid ounces?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert fluid ounces to gallons, you need to divide the number of fluid ounces by the number of fluid ounces in a gallon. Since there are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon, to find out how many gallons are in 1,000 fluid ounces, you divide 1,000 by 128. The correct calculation is 1,000 / 128 = 7.8125 gallons. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the conversion from fluid ounces to gallons.

4. How many quarts are in a gallon?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, which is 4 quarts in a gallon. In the US customary system, there are 4 quarts in a gallon. Choice A is incorrect as it represents the equivalent of a quart, not a gallon. Choice B and C are incorrect as they are smaller quantities than a gallon and do not match the conversion of quarts to a gallon.

5. Which of the following equations does not represent a function?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: An equation represents a function if each input (x-value) corresponds to exactly one output (y-value). In the equation x = y^2, for a single x-value, there are two possible y-values (positive and negative square root), violating the definition of a function. This violates the vertical line test, where a vertical line intersects the graph in more than one point for non-functions. Choices A, B, and D all pass the vertical line test and represent functions, making them incorrect answers.
