1. Which of the following is the correct decimal placement for the product of 1.6 * 0.93?

• A. 14.88
• B. 0.1488
• C. 1.488
• D. 0.001488

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the product of 1.6 * 0.93, you multiply these two numbers to get 1.488. Therefore, the correct decimal placement for the product is 1.488. Choice A, 14.88, is incorrect as it incorrectly places the decimal two spots to the right. Choice B, 0.1488, is incorrect as it incorrectly places the decimal one spot to the right. Choice D, 0.001488, is incorrect as it incorrectly places the decimal three spots to the right.

2. What is the percentage equivalent of 0.0016?

• A. 16%
• B. 160%
• C. 1.60%
• D. 0.16%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percentage, you multiply by 100. Therefore, to find the percentage equivalent of 0.0016, you would multiply 0.0016 by 100 to get 0.16%. This means that choice D, '0.16%', is the correct answer. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not correctly represent the percentage equivalent of 0.0016.

3. Andy has already saved $15. He plans to save $28 per month. Which of the following equations represents the amount of money he will have saved?

• A. y = 15 + 28x
• B. y = 43x + 15
• C. y = 43x
• D. y = 28 + 15x

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct equation to represent the amount of money Andy will have saved is y = 15 + 28x. This is because Andy has already saved $15 and plans to save an additional $28 per month. Therefore, the total amount he will have saved can be calculated by adding the initial $15 to the monthly savings of $28 (28x), resulting in y = 15 + 28x. Choices B, C, and D do not correctly account for the initial $15 that Andy has saved and therefore do not represent the total amount correctly.

4. What is the domain for the function f(x)=2x+5?

• A. All real numbers
• B. x ≥ 0
• C. x > 0
• D. x ≤ 0

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The domain of a function represents all possible input values that the function can accept. In this case, the function f(x)=2x+5 is a linear function, and linear functions have a domain of all real numbers. This means that any real number can be substituted for x in the function f(x)=2x+5, making choice A, 'All real numbers,' the correct domain for this function. Choices B, C, and D, restrict the domain unnecessarily by limiting the values of x to specific subsets of real numbers, which does not accurately reflect the nature of the given function.

5. If , then

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If \(2x = 6\), then solving for \(x\), we have \(x = \frac{6}{2} = 3\). So, if \(x = 3\), then \(x+1 = 3+1 = 4\). Therefore, the value of \(x+1\) would be 4.
