1. What is the result of (6.4)(2.8) ÷ 0.4? Which of the following is correct?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To simplify the expression, first multiply 6.4 by 2.8 to get 17.92. Then, divide the result by 0.4 to find the final answer. Therefore, (6.4)(2.8) ÷ 0.4 equals 44.8. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent the correct result of the given expression.

2. Bridget is repainting her rectangular bedroom. Two walls measure 15 feet by 9 feet, and the other two measure 12.5 feet by 9 feet. One gallon of paint covers an average of 32 square meters. Which of the following is the number of gallons of paint that Bridget will use? (There are 3.28 feet in 1 meter.)

Correct answer: B

Rationale: First, convert the dimensions to meters: 15 ft. × (1 m/3.28 ft.) = 4.57 m; 9 ft. × (1 m/3.28 ft.) = 2.74 m; 12.5 ft. × (1 m/3.28 ft.) = 3.81 m. Next, find the total area in square meters: total area = 2(4.57 m × 2.74 m) + 2(3.81 m × 2.74 m) = 45.9 m². Finally, convert the area to gallons of paint: 45.9 m² × (1 gallon/32 m²) = 1.43 gallons. Therefore, Bridget will need 1.43 gallons of paint to repaint her bedroom. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the required amount of paint based on the given dimensions and the coverage area of one gallon of paint.

3. A student gets 42 questions out of 48 correct on a quiz. What is the percentage of questions that the student answered correctly?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the percentage of questions answered correctly, divide the number of correct questions by the total number of questions: 42/48 = 0.875. Multiply the result by 100 to express it as a percentage, which gives 87.5%. Therefore, the correct answer is 87.50%. Choice A (1.14%) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct percentage. Choices B (82.50%) and C (85.00%) are also incorrect as they do not align with the calculation based on the given information.

4. Half of a circular garden with a radius of 11.5 feet needs weeding. Find the area in square feet that needs weeding. Round to the nearest hundredth. Use 3.14 for π.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The formula for the area of a full circle is calculated as Area = π × (radius²). When finding the area of half a circle, we multiply by 0.5. Thus, the formula becomes Area = 0.5 × π × (radius²). Given that the radius of the circular garden is 11.5 feet, the calculation using π = 3.14 is as follows: Area = 0.5 × 3.14 × (11.5²) = 0.5 × 3.14 × 132.25 = 0.5 × 415.27 = 207.64 square feet. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct calculation for finding the area of half a circular garden with a radius of 11.5 feet.

5. Which of the following is not a negative value?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To identify the negative value, simplify each expression. A) simplifies to 6 which is positive. B) simplifies to 0 which is neither positive nor negative. C) simplifies to -11 which is negative. D) simplifies to -30 which is negative. Therefore, only choice B results in a non-negative value, making it the correct answer.
