1. Which of the following lists is in order from least to greatest? 2−1 , −(4/3), (−1)3 , (2/5)

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To determine the correct order from least to greatest, start by simplifying the expressions. 2^(-1) = 1/2 and (-1)^3 = -1. Now, comparing the values, (-4/3) is the most negative, followed by -1, then (2/5), and finally 1/2. Therefore, the correct order is (-4/3), (-1)^3, (2/5), 2^(-1), making choice D the correct answer. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not follow the correct order from least to greatest as determined by comparing the values of the expressions after simplification.

2. Robert plans to drive 1,800 miles. His car gets 30 miles per gallon, and his tank holds 12 gallons. How many tanks of gas will he need for the trip?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate how many gallons of gas Robert needs for the 1,800-mile trip, divide the total distance by the car's mileage per gallon: 1,800 miles ÷ 30 mpg = 60 gallons. Since his tank holds 12 gallons, Robert will need 60 gallons ÷ 12 gallons per tank = 5 tanks of gas for the trip. Choice A (4 tanks), Choice C (6 tanks), and Choice D (7 tanks) are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the number of tanks needed based on the car's mileage and tank capacity.

3. Alan currently weighs 200 pounds, but he wants to lose weight to get down to 175 pounds. What is the difference in kilograms? (1 pound is approximately equal to 0.45 kilograms.)

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The difference between Alan's current weight of 200 pounds and his goal weight of 175 pounds is 25 pounds (200 pounds - 175 pounds). To convert pounds to kilograms, you multiply the number of pounds by 0.45 (not divide by 2.2). Thus, 25 pounds is approximately 11.25 kilograms (25 pounds x 0.45). Therefore, the difference in kilograms is 11.25 kg. Choice A is incorrect because it miscalculates the conversion. Choices C and D are significantly higher values and do not reflect the correct conversion from pounds to kilograms.

4. A quantity increases from 40 to 60. Express this increase as a percentage.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the percentage increase, use the formula: Percentage Increase = ((New Value - Original Value) / Original Value) x 100 Substitute the values: ((60 - 40) / 40) x 100 = (20 / 40) x 100 = 0.5 x 100 = 50% Therefore, the correct answer is 50%. Choice A (26%) is incorrect as the percentage increase is not 26%. Choice C (35%) is incorrect as the percentage increase is not 35%. Choice D (12%) is incorrect as the percentage increase is not 12%.

5. Which statement best describes the rate of change?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The rate of change refers to how one quantity changes concerning another quantity. In this scenario, the rate of change is the amount of snow melting per day, which is 5 centimeters. This is determined by the slope of the graph, indicating a decrease in snow depth. Choices C and D incorrectly describe an increase in snow depth, while choice A exaggerates the rate of snow melting compared to the actual value of 5 centimeters per day.
