Q #1: For a school's annual budget, the total amount of money spent on supplies (s) and textbooks (t) cannot exceed $12,000. Which of the following inequalities represents this scenario?
A. s + t >= $12,000
B. s + t > $12,000
C. s + t < $12,000
D. s + t <= $12,000
Answer Explanation
We can interpret ‘cannot exceed” as less than ‘<’. Therefore, in our inequality, the symbol < must be included. Now let’s convert the word problem into a mathematical inequality.
Money spent on supplies=s
Money spent on textbooks=t
Total money spent=money spent on supplies + money spent on textbooks
Total money spent = s+t
But the money spent cannot exceed $12,000. Then,
s+t < $12,000.
However the money spent can still be equal to $12000, as it has not exceeded it.Therefore, the required inequality is s + t <= $12,000.

A. 4.5 feet
B. 6.5 feet
C. 3.6 feet

Q #5: Using the numbers below, which of the following is the greatest? 4/3, 27/20, 1.369, 1.357
A. 1.369
B. 4/3
C. 27/20
D. 1.357
Answer Explanation
to do a comparison of the given data set, we convert the fraction numbers into the approximate decimals.
4/3=1.333
2720=1.35
Now, we have 1.333, 1.35, 1.369, 1.357. These numbers are arranged from the smallest to the largest number, we look at the number in the second decimal place value
1.333 the number in second decimal place value is 3
1.35 the number in third decimal place value is 5
1.369 the number in third decimal place value is 6
1.357 the number in third decimal place value is 5
However, 1.35 and 1.357 have 5 in the second-place vale. We use the ird place value to compare the two number:
1.35 is same as 1.350 and the number in the third-place value is 0
1.357 the number in the third-place value is 7
Now, 0 is less than 7, and thus 1.35 is less than 1.357
Overall, 3 is less than 5, and 5 less than 6 and the provided numbers can be arranged from the smallest to the largest as:
1.333, 1.35, 1.357, 1.369
Thus, the corresponding given numbers organized from the smallest to the largest become:
4/3, 27/20, 1.357, 1.369
The greatest value is 1.369

Q #6: Using the table below, which of the following statements describes the relationship between days and dollars?
A. There is a positive correlation between days and dollars
B. There is a negative correlation between days and dollars
C. There is an inverse correlation between days and dollars
D. There is no correlation between days and dollars
Answer Explanation
To answer this question, we need to observe the trend of the number of days with dollars. On day 2, the dollars were 8, after 5 days, the dollars decreased to 3, after 13 days, the dollars increased to 10. After 14 days, the dollars declined to 6 and again rose to 16 dollars after 19 days.
From this observation, we cannot be able to establish any correlation between days and dollars.

Q #7: To rent tablecloth from a rental vendor, there is an initial charge of $40. There is an additional charge of $5 per circular tablecloth (c) and $3.50 per rectangular tablecloth (r). Which of the following represents the total cost (T) to rent tablecloths?
A. 5r + 3.5c - 40 = T
B. 5c + 3.5r + 40 = T
C. 5c + 3.5r - 40 = T
D. 5r + 3.5c + 40 = T
Answer Explanation
From the given scenario:
Initial charge is $40
Additional charge per circular cloth=$5c
Additional charge per rectangular cloth=$3.50r
Total cost = additional charge per circular rectangular cloths + Initial charge
Total cost, T = 5c + 3.5r + 40
