Q #1: The American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that the slope of a wheelchair ramp be no greater than 1:12. Which of the following is the minimum length of a ramp needed to provide access to a door that is 1.5 feet above the sidewalk?
A. 12 feet
B. 4.5 feet
C. 3 feet
D. 18 feet
Answer Explanation
We use the given slope to find the minimum length of the ramp. In this case, slope is the ratio of height to length of the lamp. Thus,
If we let x be the minimum length of the ramp. Then,
Substituting the value of slope into the above equation results in,
Solve for value of x by cross-products
X = 18 Feet
Thus, the minimum length of the ramp needed to provide access to a door that is 1.5 high is 18 feet.

Q #2: Which of the following is the independent variable in the equation below? A(f) = 92 + 2f
A. f
B. 2
C. A
D. 92
Answer Explanation
Given the equation A(f)=92+2f
To find the value of A(f), we need to manipulate the value of f. In this case, f is the independent variable while A(f) is the dependent variable.

Q #3: Which of the following is the mean of the test scores listed below? 83, 86, 76, 88, 97
A. 97
B. 76
C. 86
D. 83
Answer Explanation
The mean of a data set is the sum of all scores divided by the number of tests.
Total test scores = 83+86+76+88+97 = 430
Number of tests = 5
Mean test score = 430/5 = 86
The mean test score is 86.

Q #4: Which of the following values is the greatest?
A. 3/7
B. 6.98
C. 10/7
D. 9.2
Answer Explanation
To find the greatest number from the given options, convert the decimal numbers into fractions.
6.98 becomes 698/100
9.2 becomes 92/10
The least common denominator for the denominators of 7, 100 and 10 is 700. Now we can multiply each fraction with 700 as follows:
3/7*700=300
698/100*700=4886
10/7*700=1000
92/10*700=6440
In order from the smallest to largest, we organize the number set as follows:
3/7, 10/7, 6.98, 9.2.
Thus, 9.2 is the greatest of all.

Q #5: The length of a rectangular room is 5 feet greater than its width. Which of the following equations represents the area (A) of the room?
A. A=w+(w+5)
B. A=2w+2(w+5)
C. A=5(w+8)
D. A=w(w+5)
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+5)
Area of the rectangle, A= Length*width=(w+5)*w
A=w(w+5)
Thus, the area of the rectangular room is w(w+5).

Q #6: Which of the following is the length of the unknown leg of a right triangle that has one leg length of 10 feet and a hypotenuse of 24 feet? (Round to the nearest tenth.)
A. 21.8 feet
B. 25 feet
C. 13.6 feet
D. 17.7 feet
Answer Explanation
Let the unknown length of the x. The resulting triangle is shown below.
We use the Pythagoras theorem as follows to find the unknown value of x as:
Thus, the value of unknown side of the triangle is 21.8 feet.

Q #7: Which of the following is the appropriate unit of a measure to express the weight of a mobile phone?
A. Liter
B. Milliliter
C. Gram
D. Milligram
Answer Explanation
Here, we are required to find the unit of measuring mass. The SI unit of mass is kilogram but other derived units are grams, milligrams, microgram and more.
A kilogram is a large quantity for measuring heavier objects but grams can used to measure small and light objects such as the mass of the mobile phone. Therefore, gram is the appropriate unit for measuring weight of a mobile phone.

Q #8: There are 1200 students enrolled in four allied health programs at a local community college. The percent students in each program are displayed in the pie chart. Which of the following is the number of students enrolled in the radiologic technology program?
A. 216
B. 504
C. 228
D. 252
Answer Explanation
We are asked to find the number of students enrolled in the radiologic program using the information provided on the pie chart.
If we let x represent the number of students enrolled in the radiologic program, we set a proportion equation with number of students on the numerator and percentages on the denominator.
Total percent in the pie chart adds to 100%, which equals 1200 students. Then, 21% will represent
We solve the value of x by cross-multiplying the equation above.
Therefore, 252 students will enroll for a radiologic program.

Q #9: A circle has an area of 169 π in2. Which of the following is the circumference of the circle in terms of pi ( )?
A. 13 π in
B. 26 π in
C. 7.5 π in
D. 20 π in
Answer Explanation
We need to find the radius of the circle in order to find circumference of the circle. If we let r to be radius of the circle, then
Substituting 169π
in place of area
Dividing both sides by pi and taking square root on both sides yields
The radius of the circle from the given area is 13 in. and the circumference of the circle is given by the relation:

Q #10: To determine the cost of a laptop, the seller considers the brand of the laptop, the tax rate, and the memory size. Which of the following is the dependent variable?
A. Cost of a laptop
B. Tax rate
C. Memory size
D. Brand of the laptop
Answer Explanation
A dependent variable is one that depends on the independent variable. An independent variable is one that when changed result in a change of another variable.
In this problem, if we change the brand of laptop, tax rate, and memory size, the price of the laptop changes. Thus, the cost of the laptop is the dependent variable.
