Three friends are sharing a pizza. One friend eats half of the pizza. The other two friends equally divide the rest among themselves. What portion of the pizza did each of the other two friends receive?
A. 1/6
B. 1/3
C. ¼
D. 1/5
we need to find the portion of pizza shared by two other friends.
We know that a whole pizza represents 1 and one friend eats half of it. So, the remaining amount left to other two friends is
Remaining fraction of the pizza=1-1/2=1/2
Now, the two friends share ½ amongst themselves equally. Then, each friend gets
The two friends each gets 1/4 of the pizza.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is C.

Q #2: Soft Drinks Orange Two 24-packs for $15; one 24-pack for $9 Root Beer One 24-pack for $14 Cream Soda One 12-pack for $3 A consumer needs to purchase at least 50 soft drinks for a picnic. Which of the following combinations is the most cost-effective?
A. 2 two-24 packs of Orange and 1 pack of Cream Soda
B. 3 one 24-pack of Orange
C. 2 packs of Root Beer and 1 pack of Cream Soda
D. 5 packs of cream Soda
Answer Explanation
To find the cheapest option, we find the expenditure on each given option.:
2 two-24 packs of Orange and 1 pack of Cream Soda=2($15)+$3=$33
3 one 24-pack of Orange=3($9)=$27
2 packs of Root Beer and 1 pack of Cream Soda=2($14)+$3=$31
5 packs of cream Soda=5($3)=$15
Spending 5 packs of cream soda is the cost-effective option.

Q #3: -2/9, -0.9, -1.7, -4/7 Of the number listed above, which number is the greatest?
A. -0.9
B. -4/7
C. -1.7
D. -2/9
Answer Explanation
The initial step is to convert the decimal options to fractions. Then, we find the LCM of the denominators of all fractions, which will be used to compare the values of the given options.
-0. becomes -9/10
-1.7 becomes -17/10
Then, the resulting denominators are 9, 10, and 63. Their LCM of 630 is used to multiply each fraction.
-2/9*630=-140
-9/10*630=-567
-17/10*630=-1071
-4/7*630=-360
From the calculations above, -140 is the greatest value of all the values. Thus, -2/9 is the greatest number.

Q #4: Which of the following is the median of the date set below? 9, -7, 1, -4, 3
A. -7
B. 1
C. 3
D. -4
Answer Explanation
The median of a data set is determined by arranging the numbers in ascending orders, and the median is the number the falls in the middle position.
-7, -4, 1, 3, 9
There are five numbers in the data set, and the median falls in the third position from either side. Thus, 1 fall in the third position.

Q #6: A circle has an area of 64π in2. Which of the following is the circumference of the circle in terms of pi ( π)?
A. 9 π in
B. 16 π in
C. 4 π in
D. 8 π in
Answer Explanation
we need determine the radius of the circle before we can find the circumference of the circle from the given area.
Let r be the radius of the circle, then
Substituting the value of area
Dividing both sides by pi and taking square root on both sides yields
Now, the radius of the circle is 8 in. and the circumference of the circle is given by the relation:

Q #9: The length of a rectangular room is 8 feet greater than its width. Which of the following equations represents the area (A) of the room?
A. A = w(w+8)
B. A = 2w+2(w+8)
C. A = 5(w+8)
D. A = w+(w+8)
Answer Explanation
To find the area of the room, we form an equation of find an equation relating the length and width of the rectangle. If we let the width of the room to be w, then
Width of the rectangle= w
Length of rectangle=(w+8)
Area of the rectangle, A= Length*width=(w+8)*w
A=w(w+8)
Thus, the area of the rectangular room is w(w+8).

Q #10: Which of the following values is the greatest?
A. 3/8
B. 6.25
C. 10/7
D. 7.4
Answer Explanation
To find the greatest number from the given options, convert the decimal numbers into fractions.
6.25 becomes 625/100
7.4 becomes 74/10
The LCM for the denominators of 8, 100, 7, and 10 is 2800. Now we can multiply each fraction with the LCM.
3/8*2800=1050
625/100*2800=17500
10/7*2800=4000
74/10*2800=20720
The fraction 7.4 is the greatest of all.
