The graph below represents the amount of rainfall in a particular state by month. Which of the following is the total rainfall for the months May, June, and July?
A. 9.0 inches
B. 8.4 inches
C. 7.5 inches
D. 10.5 inches
: We need to find the total rainfall for the months of May, June, and July using the given graph.
In the month of May, rainfall is between 3 and 4, which is halfway. Therefore, rainfall in May is 3.5 inches
On June, rainfall was 3 inch and on July the rainfall was 2.5 inches. Thus,
Total rainfall=3.5 inches+3 inches+ 2.5 inches=9.0 inches
Therefore, the Correct Answer is A.

Q #2: Which of the following is the greatest value?
A. 43÷55
B. 5/7
C. 0.729
D. 73%
Answer Explanation
we are asked to find the largest value from the options given. To solve this problem, we need to convert all the given values into fraction. Then find the least common denominator for all fractions, which we will use to multiply each fraction and make a comparison.
43÷
55=43/555/7
0.729=729/1000
73%=73/100
Now, we need to find the least common denominator of 55, 7, 1000, and 100, which is 77000. We multiply each fraction by 77000 as follows:
43/55*77000=60200
5/7*77000=55000
729/1000*77000=56133
73/100*77000=56210
From the calculated values, it can be noted that 43/55 is the greatest value among the given options.

Q #3: A teacher earns $730.00 per week before any tax deductions. The following taxes are deducted each week: $72.00 federal income tax, $35.00 state income tax, and $65.00 Social Security tax. How much will the teacher make in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted?
A. $2,250.00
B. $2,550.00
C. $2,400.00
D. $2,232.00
Answer Explanation
The net income is the salary of the teacher gets after deducting total taxes.
Weekly net income=weekly gross income-total tax
Total tax=federal income tax+state income tax+Social Security tax
Total tax=$(72.00+35.00+65.00)
Total tax=$172.00
Weekly net income=$(730.00-172.00)=$558.00
The net income the teacher gets in 4 weeks is what she gets in one week multiplied by 4
The teacher will earn a net income of $2,232.00 in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted.

Q #5: An athlete runs 5 miles in 25 minutes and then changes their pace to run the next 3 miles in 15 minutes. Overall, what is the average time in minutes it takes the athlete to run 1 mile?
A. 7 minutes
B. 5 minutes
C. 6.5 minutes
D. 8.5 minutes
Answer Explanation
to find the average time the athlete runs in 1 mile, find total time divided by total distance covered in the two runs.
Total distance=5+3=8 miles
Total time=25+15=40 minutes
We now know that the athlete runs 8 miles in 40 minutes, so the time the athlete will run in 1 mile will be:
In 5 minutes, the athlete runs 1 mile.

Q #6: Which of the following relationships represents a no correlation between two variables?
A. As a student’s class attendance decreases, the student’s overall grade remains the same
B. As the number of hours a person exercises decreases, the weight of that person increases
C. As the number of miles driven increases, the amount of the gasoline in the tank decreases
D. As the amount of water plant receives increases, the growth rate of the plant increase.

Correlation of two variables falls into:
Positive correlation: an increase in one variable causes another variable to increase
Negative correlation: an increase in one variable causes another one to decrease
No correlation: a change in one variable does not cause any response in another variable.
From the given choices
Option a is no correlation
Option b is a negative correlation
Option c is a negative correlation
Option d is a positive correlation
Thus, the correct statement is a.
