Q #1: A person weighed themselves at 190 lb. Three months later they weighed themselves at 180 lb. Which of the following is the percent of weight the person lost over 3 months? (Round to the nearest percent.)
A. 8%
B. 9%
C. 11%
D. 5%
Answer Explanation
Explanation: The percentage change in weight is found in three steps below:
Absolute change in weight = final weight - initial weightAbsolute change in weight = (|180 - 190| = |-10| = 10)
Relative change in weight = (frac{absolute change}{initial weight} = frac{10}{190} = 0.0526)
Percent change = relative change * 100%
Percent change = 0.0526 * 100% = 5.26%
The percent change in weight lost is 5.26%, which is about 5%.

Q #4: The data below represents students’ test scores. Which of the following is the median of the set data? 80, 76, 92, 96, 44, 86, 56, 93, 69
A. 86
B. 69
C. 44
D. 80
Answer Explanation
Explanation: the median of a data set is the element that is found on the middle position.
To find median, organize the given data from the smallest to largest.
44, 56, 69, 76, 80, 86, 92, 93, 96
Now, the number of elements in the date set is 9, which is an odd number. The median falls in the position
(N+1)/2=(9+1)/2=10/2=5.
The number that falls in the 5th position is 80. Thus, 80 is the median of the data.

Q #5: Simplify the expression above. Which of the following is correct?
A. 33
B. 44
C. 25
D. 12
Answer Explanation
Let's simplify the expression step by step:
Step 1: Inside the square brackets, perform the operation within parentheses first:
([4(3+6?5)]=[4(3+30)] )
Step 2: Continue simplifying inside the square brackets:
([4(3+30)]=[4ast33])
Step 3: Calculate the value inside the square brackets:
([4ast33]=132)
Step 4: Now, deal with the denominator:
((20÷5)=4)
Step 5: Finally, divide the result from step 3 by the result from step 4:
(132/4=33)
So, the simplified expression is 33.

Q #7: 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 5.2 feet above the sidewalk?
A. 52 feet
B. 148 feet
C. 32.2 feet
D. 62.4 feet
Answer Explanation
In this problem slope represents the change in height above sidewalk to change in length of the ramp.
From the definition of slope
Letting x to be the minimum length of the ramp, then
Substituting with the known value of slope
Cross-multiply to find the value of x
Thus, the minimum length of the ramp needed is 62.4 feet to access to a door that is 5.2 feet above the sidewalk.

Q #8: A macaroni and cheese recipe calls for 4/7 cup of flour for every 2 1/5 cup of milk. To make a bigger batch, the chef uses 4 cups of flour. Which of the following would be the amount of milk needed for the bigger batch?
A. 15 1/5 cups
B. 15 2/5
C. 12 8/15 cups
D. 15 cups
Answer Explanation
To find the required number of cups of milk, we need to set up a proportion equation. If we let x be the required number of cups and cups of flour as numerator and cups of milk in denominator, then the result proportion becomes:
We cannot multiply mixed fractions with any number, so we change 2 1/5 into an improper fraction as
The proportion equation becomes
Cross-multiply to solve for x
As a mixed fraction, 77/5 becomes 15 2/5. Therefore, to make a bigger batch, the chef needs 15 2/5 cups of milk.

Q #10: Which of the following is the length of the unknown leg of a right triangle that has one leg length of 5 feet and a hypotenuse of 17 feet? (Round to the nearest tenth.)
A. 18 feet
B. 14.4 feet
C. 9.8 feet
D. 16.2 feet
Answer Explanation
We are asked to find the one of the lengths of a right-angled triangle, we use the Pythagoras theorem to find the unknown length.
First, we label the triangle as below and let the unknown length be x.
Then, we apply the Pythagoras theorem to find the value of x as:
We take square-root on both sides
The value of the unknown length is 16.2 feet.
