1. What is the area of the largest circle that can fit entirely inside a rectangle that measures 8 centimeters by 10 centimeters?
- A. 18π cm²
- B. 10π cm²
- C. 16π cm²
- D. 8π cm²
Correct answer: C
Rationale: The largest circle that can fit inside the rectangle would have a diameter of 8 cm, which means the radius is half of the diameter, thus 4 cm. The area of a circle is calculated using the formula A = πr², where r is the radius. Substituting the radius value into the formula, the area of the circle is π(4)² = 16π cm². Therefore, the correct answer is 16π cm². Choice A (18π cm²), B (10π cm²), and D (8π cm²) are incorrect because they do not represent the area of the largest circle that fits inside the given rectangle.
2. Elijah drove 45 miles to his job in an hour and ten minutes in the morning. On the way home in the evening, however, the traffic was much heavier, and the same trip took an hour and a half. What was his average speed in miles per hour for the round trip?
- A. 30
- B. 45
- C. 36
- D. 40
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To find the average speed for the round trip, we calculate the total distance and total time traveled. The total distance for the round trip is 45 miles each way, so 45 miles * 2 = 90 miles. The total time taken for the morning trip is 1 hour and 10 minutes (1.17 hours), and for the evening trip is 1.5 hours. Therefore, the total time for the round trip is 1.17 hours + 1.5 hours = 2.67 hours. To find the average speed, we divide the total distance by the total time: 90 miles / 2.67 hours ≈ 33.7 miles per hour. The closest option is A, 30 miles per hour, making it the correct answer. Choice B (45) is the total distance for the round trip, not the average speed. Choices C (36) and D (40) are not derived from the correct calculations and do not represent the average speed for the round trip.
3. A can has a radius of 1.5 inches and a height of 3 inches. Which of the following best represents the volume of the can?
- A. 17.2 in³
- B. 19.4 in³
- C. 21.2 in³
- D. 23.4 in³
Correct answer: C
Rationale: The volume of a cylinder is calculated using the formula V = πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height. Substituting the given values (r = 1.5 inches, h = 3 inches) into the formula yields V ≈ 21.2 in³. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A, 17.2 in³, is incorrect as it does not correspond to the correct calculation. Choice B, 19.4 in³, is also incorrect and does not match the calculated volume. Choice D, 23.4 in³, is not the correct volume obtained when using the provided dimensions in the formula for the volume of a cylinder.
4. During January, Dr. Lewis worked 20 shifts. During February, she worked three times as many shifts as she did during January. During March, she worked half the number of shifts she worked during February. Which equation below describes the number of shifts Dr. Lewis worked in March?
- A. shifts = 20 + 3 + 1/2
- B. shifts = (20)(3)(1/2)
- C. shifts = (20)(3) + 1/2
- D. shifts = 20 + (3)(1/2)
Correct answer: B
Rationale: During January, Dr. Lewis worked 20 shifts. Shifts for January = 20. During February, she worked three times as many shifts as she did during January. Shifts for February = (20)(3) = 60. During March, she worked half the number of shifts she worked in February. Shifts for March = (60)(1/2) = 30. Therefore, the correct equation to describe the number of shifts Dr. Lewis worked in March is 'shifts = (20)(3)(1/2)', representing the calculation based on the given scenario. Choices A, C, and D do not accurately represent the correct mathematical relationship between the shifts worked in the different months, making them incorrect.
5. A teacher earns $730.00 per week before any tax deductions. The following taxes are deducted each week: $72.00 federal income tax, $35.00 state income tax, and $65.00 Social Security tax. How much will the teacher make in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted?
- A. $2,250.00
- B. $2,550.00
- C. $2,400.00
- D. $2,232.00
Correct answer: D
Rationale: After deducting $172 weekly for taxes ($72 + $35 + $65), the teacher's net weekly income is $558. Over 4 weeks, the total income is $2,232.00. Choice A is incorrect as it does not account for the taxes deducted. Choice B is incorrect as it overestimates the income by not deducting the taxes. Choice C is incorrect as it also does not consider the tax deductions.
