1. What is the equivalent weight in pounds for 45 kg? (1 kg = 2.2 lbs)

• A. 120 lbs
• B. 89 lbs
• C. 99 lbs
• D. 90 lbs

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert kilograms to pounds, multiply the weight in kilograms by the conversion factor 2.2 (1 kg = 2.2 lbs). Therefore, 45 kg * 2.2 lbs/kg = 99 lbs. Choice A is incorrect because it is a miscalculation. Choice B is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct conversion. Choice D is incorrect as it is also a miscalculation of the conversion.

2. What is the range in the number of flights the flight attendant made?

• A. 20
• B. 25
• C. 29
• D. 32

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The range is calculated as the difference between the largest and smallest values in a dataset. In this case, the largest number of flights made by the flight attendant in a month was 79, and the smallest number was 54. Therefore, the range is 79 - 54 = 25. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation of the range based on the given data.

3. Solve the inequality for the unknown.

• A. x > 5
• B. x < 5
• C. x >= 5
• D. x <= 5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When solving an inequality, the direction of the inequality sign changes depending on the operation performed. In this case, if the given inequality simplifies to x > 5, it means that the unknown value x must be greater than 5 for the inequality to hold true. Therefore, x > 5 is the correct solution. Option A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly represent the relationship between x and 5 based on the given inequality.

4. What is the perimeter of a square with a side length of 6 cm?

• A. 24 cm
• B. 12 cm
• C. 18 cm
• D. 36 cm

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The perimeter of a square is calculated by multiplying the side length by 4 since all sides are equal. In this case, the side length is 6 cm, so the perimeter is 4 * 6 = 24 cm. Therefore, choice A, 24 cm, is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct calculation for the perimeter of a square.

5. In a research study, a researcher collects data on the number of hours spent studying and the grades students received. Which of the following is the dependent variable?

• A. The number of hours spent studying
• B. The grades students received
• C. The subjects students studied
• D. The number of students in the study

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'The grades students received.' In this scenario, the grades students received are the dependent variable because they are influenced by the number of hours spent studying. The grades are the outcome that is being measured based on the manipulation or observation of the independent variable, which in this case is the number of hours spent studying. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. The number of hours spent studying is the independent variable being manipulated or observed, the subjects students studied is not directly related to the dependent variable, and the number of students in the study is not the variable being measured or influenced by the independent variable.
