Q #1: A circle has an area of 81π in2. Which of the following is the circumference of the circle in terms of pi ( π)?
A. 4.5 π in
B. 14 π in
C. 18 π in
D. 9 π in
Answer Explanation
we need to find the circumference of the circle from the given area.
The first step is to find the radius of the circle using the given area. Let r be the radius of the circle, then:
Substituting the value of area in the above equation becomes
Dividing both sides by pi and taking square root on both sides yields
Now, we know the radius of circle to be 9 in, the circumference of the circle becomes,

Q #2: The length of a rectangular room is 2 feet greater than its width. Which of the following equations represents the area (A) of the room?
A. A = 2x
B. A = 2x+2(x+2)
C. A = x+(x+2)
D. A = x(x+2)
Answer Explanation
we are asked to find the area of a rectangle, which can only be found by finding the relation between length and width. Now, letting x represent the width, then
Length of rectangle=(x+2)
Width of the rectangle= x
Area of the rectangle, A= Length*width=(x+2)*x
A=x(x+2)
Therefore, the area of the rectangle becomes x(x+2).

Q #4: Solve for z in the equation above.
A. z=rwy+x
B. z=rw+(y/x)
C. z=y(x+rw)
D. z=rw-(y/x)
Answer Explanation
We are asked to make z the subject of the formula.
First, we subtract y/x from both sides of the equation
Thus, the formula for finding the value of z is

Q #5: -3/5, -0.9, -1.9, -8/3 Of the number listed above, which number is the greatest?
A. -3/5
B. -0.9
C. -1.9
D. -8/3
Answer Explanation
To answer this question, we need to convert the numbers into a similar form. Converting decimal numbers into fraction is appropriate to finding the greatest number.
-0.9 becomes 9/10
-1.9 becomes 19/10
Now we find the LCM of the denominators of the four fractions. The LCM of 5, 10 and 3 is 30. Multiply each fraction with the LCM to compare the fractions.
-3/5*30=-18
-9/10*30=-27
-19/10*30=-57
-8/3*30=-24
The greatest number is -18, meaning -3/5 is the greatest number.

Q #6: A recipe calls for 3.4 teaspoons of milk. 1 teaspoon equals approximately 5 mL. Which of the following is the correct amount of milk in mL?
A. 16.8 mL
B. 17.0 mL
C. 10.5 mL
D. 6.8 mL
Answer Explanation
we are asked to find the amount of milk in mL using the given information.
If we let x represent the amount of milk in mL, we set up a proportion with number of teaspoons on the numerator and amount in mL in the denominator.
A recipe of 3.4 teaspoons is equal to 17.0 mL.

Q #7: Which of the following is the total number of whole boxes that measure 2.5 ft * 2.5 ft * 2.5 ft that can be stored in a room that measures 12 ft * 12 ft * 12 ft, if the size of the boxes cannot be altered?
A. 111
B. 105
C. 150
D. 120
Answer Explanation
The number of boxes to fit the room is found as volume of the room divided by the volume of the box.
Number of boxes:
\(\frac{volume\ of\ the\ room}{volume\ of\ the\ box} = \frac{12ft\ *\\ 12ft\ *\ 12ft}{2.5ft\ *\ 2.5t\ *\ 2.5ft}\ =\ 110.592\)
The approximate number of boxes that can be stored in the room is approximately 111 square feet.

Q #8: Which of the following values is the greatest?
A. 25/2
B. 12.35
C. 40/3
D. 11.46
Answer Explanation
To find the greatest number from the given set, we first convert the decimal numbers into fractions.
12.35 becomes 1235/100
11.46 becomes 1146/10
Then, the LCM for the denominators of the given fractions of 2, 100, 3 and 10 is 300. Now we multiply each fraction with 300, which we will use to compare the give set.
25/2*300=3750
1235/100*300=3705
40/3*300=4000
1146/10*300=3438
From the calculated values, 4000 is the greatest value. Then, 40/3 is the greatest value.

Q #9: A bucket containing 3 3/5 gallons of water is 2/3 full. How many gallons of water is in one fully filled bucket?
A. 13/15
B. 6 7/15
C. 8 2/5
D. 5 2/5
Answer Explanation
we are asked to find the number of gallons a full tank holds. A full tank is treated as 1 whole.
Letting x be the number of gallons in full tank and setting the proportion equation with the number of gallons on the numerator and fraction of tank on denominator as follows.
Convert the mixed fraction into proper fraction and cross-multiply to find the value of x.
x 1 full tank=185 gallons23full tank
A full tank holds 27/5 gallons, which when converted to a mixed fraction is 5 2/5.

Q #10: Soft Drinks Shop Orange: Two 24-packs for $15; one 24-pack for $9 Root Beer: One 24-pack for $14 Cream Soda: One 12-pack for $5 A consumer needs to purchase at least 60 soft drinks for a picnic. Which of the following combinations is the most cost-effective?
A. 2 pack of Orange and 2 packs of Cream Soda
B. 3 packs of Root Beer
C. 1 pack of orange, 2 packs of Root Beer and 1 pack of Cream Soda
D. 4 packs of cream Soda
Answer Explanation
Choice A: 2 packs of Orange and 2 packs of Cream Soda
- Total drinks: 48 + 24 = 72 drinks
- Total cost: (2 * $15) + (2 * $5) = $30 + $10 = $40
- This choice not only meets the requirement of at least 60 drinks but also offers the best value in terms of cost per drink, making it the most cost-effective option.
Choice B: 3 packs of Root Beer
- Total drinks: 3 * 24 = 72 drinks
- Total cost: 3 * $14 = $42
- While this choice meets the requirement of at least 60 drinks, it's not the most cost-effective, as it costs $42 for 72 drinks.
Choice C: 1 pack of Orange, 2 packs of Root Beer, and 1 pack of Cream Soda
- Total drinks: 24 + 48 + 12 = 84 drinks
- Total cost: $9 + (2 * $14) + $5 = $9 + $28 + $5 = $42
- This choice provides more than 60 drinks, but it's not the most cost-effective due to its higher cost of $42, same as choice B.
Choice D: 4 packs of Cream Soda
- Total drinks: 4 * 12 = 48 drinks
- Total cost: 4 * $5 = $20
- While this choice is the most cost effective, it falls short of providing the desired number of drinks.
