1. What is the length of the unknown leg of a right triangle that has one leg measuring 9 feet and a hypotenuse of 19 feet? (Round to the nearest tenth.)
- A. 16.7 feet
- B. 16.0 feet
- C. 17.4 feet
- D. 8.4 feet
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To find the length of the unknown leg (a) of a right triangle, use the Pythagorean theorem: a² + 9² = 19². Substitute the known values, solve for a: a² + 81 = 361. Subtract 81 from both sides to get a² = 280. Taking the square root of 280 gives a ≈ 16.7 feet. Therefore, the correct answer is 16.7 feet. Choice B (16.0 feet) is incorrect as it does not accurately round to the nearest tenth. Choice C (17.4 feet) and choice D (8.4 feet) are incorrect as they do not match the calculated value using the Pythagorean theorem.
2. Simplify the expression 3x - 5x + 2.
- A. -2x + 2
- B. -8x
- C. 2x + 2
- D. -2x
Correct answer: D
Rationale: When simplifying the expression 3x - 5x + 2, start by combining like terms. -5x is subtracted from 3x to give -2x. Adding 2 at the end gives the simplified expression -2x. Therefore, the correct answer is -2x. Choice A, -2x + 2, incorrectly adds 2 at the end. Choice B, -8x, incorrectly combines the coefficients of x without considering the constant term. Choice C, 2x + 2, incorrectly adds the coefficients of x without simplifying.
3. To begin making her soup, Jennifer added four containers of chicken broth with 1 liter of water into the pot. Each container of chicken broth contains 410 milliliters. How much liquid is in the pot?
- A. 1.64 liters
- B. 2.64 liters
- C. 5.44 liters
- D. 6.12 liters
Correct answer: B
Rationale: Each container of chicken broth contains 410 milliliters. Jennifer added four containers, which totals 4 * 410 = 1640 milliliters of chicken broth. She then added 1 liter of water, equivalent to 1000 milliliters. Combining all the liquids, we get 1640 + 1000 = 2640 milliliters, which equals 2.64 liters. Choice A is incorrect because it miscalculates the total liquid volume. Choice C is incorrect as it greatly overestimates the liquid amount. Choice D is incorrect as it also overestimates the liquid content in the pot.
4. What defines a composite number?
- A. A number with only two factors
- B. A number that is a fraction
- C. A number with more than 2 factors
- D. A number with exactly two factors
Correct answer: C
Rationale: A composite number is a positive integer greater than one that has more than two factors. Choice A is incorrect because a number with only two factors is a prime number. Choice B is incorrect as being a fraction does not define a composite number. Choice D is incorrect because a number with exactly two factors is a prime number, not a composite number.
5. Divide 4/3 by 9/13 and reduce the fraction.
- A. 52/27
- B. 51/27
- C. 52/29
- D. 51/29
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. So, (4/3) ÷ (9/13) = (4/3) * (13/9) = 52/27. This fraction is already in its reduced form, making choice A the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct result of dividing the fractions 4/3 by 9/13.
