1. A book has a width of 2.5 decimeters. What is the width of the book in centimeters?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert decimeters to centimeters, we use the conversion factor that 1 decimeter is equal to 10 centimeters. Setting up the proportion: 1/0.1 = x/2.5. Solving for x gives 2.5 = 0.1x, x = 25. Therefore, the width of the book in centimeters is 25. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert decimeters to centimeters. A and D have decimal placement errors, and C has an incorrect magnitude of centimeters.

2. How can you distinguish between these three types of graphs - scatterplots: Quadratic, Exponential, Linear?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To differentiate between the three types of graphs - scatterplots, a linear graph will display a straight line, a quadratic graph will have a U-shape, and an exponential graph will show a rapid rise or fall in one direction. Choice B is incorrect because linear graphs are represented by straight lines, not curved lines. Choice C is incorrect as linear graphs do not exhibit zigzag patterns, and exponential graphs do not typically result in flat lines. Choice D is incorrect because quadratic graphs form a U-shape, not a W-shape, and exponential graphs do not represent vertical lines.

3. A patient requires a 20% decrease in medication dosage. Their current dosage is 400 mg. What will their dosage be after the decrease?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate a 20% decrease of 400 mg, you multiply 400 mg by 0.20 to get 80 mg. Subtracting 80 mg from the current dosage of 400 mg results in a new dosage of 320 mg. Choice A is incorrect because it miscalculates the decrease. Choice C is incorrect as it represents a 20% increase instead of a decrease. Choice D is incorrect as it represents the initial dosage, not the reduced dosage.

4. What is the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 12 cm and a width of 5 cm?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2(l + w), where l represents the length and w represents the width. Substituting the given values into the formula: P = 2(12 cm + 5 cm) = 2(17 cm) = 34 cm. Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 34 cm. Choice A (17 cm) is incorrect as it seems to have added only the length and width without multiplying by 2. Choice B (24 cm) is incorrect as it does not consider the multiplication by 2. Choice D (40 cm) is incorrect as it seems to have added the length and width without multiplying by 2.

5. A woman wants to stack two bookcases, one 32.75 inches tall and another 17.25 inches tall. How tall will they be when stacked together?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the total height of the stacked bookcases, you need to add the heights of the two bookcases: 32.75 inches + 17.25 inches = 50 inches. Therefore, the correct answer is 50 inches. Choice A (49.5 inches) is incorrect as it does not consider rounding off the total height. Choices C (48 inches) and D (51 inches) are incorrect as they do not accurately calculate the sum of the heights of the two bookcases.
