1. A circle has an area of 121π in². Which of the following is the circumference of the circle in terms of pi (π)?

• A. 11π in
• B. 22π in
• C. 44π in
• D. 5.5π in

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the circumference of the circle, we first need to determine the radius. Given that the area of the circle is 121π in², we use the formula for the area of a circle (A = πr²) to find the radius squared. So, r² = 121, which means the radius (r) is 11 in. The circumference of a circle is calculated using the formula 2πr. Substituting the radius value of 11 in, we get 2π(11) = 22π in. Therefore, the correct answer is 22π in. Choice A (11π in), Choice C (44π in), and Choice D (5.5π in) are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the circumference based on the given area of the circle.

2. What is the value of the sum of 0.75 and 0.625?

• A. 0.875
• B. 1.375
• C. 1.625
• D. 0.125

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Adding 0.75 and 0.625 gives: 0.75+0.625=1.375.

3. What is the volume of a cube with a side length of 3 cm?

• A. 9 cm³
• B. 27 cm³
• C. 18 cm³
• D. 12 cm³

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the volume of a cube, you cube the length of one side. In this case, the side length is 3 cm, so the volume is calculated as 3 cm * 3 cm * 3 cm = 27 cm³. Therefore, the correct answer is 27 cm³. Choice A (9 cm³), Choice C (18 cm³), and Choice D (12 cm³) are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the volume of a cube with a side length of 3 cm.

4. The phone bill is calculated each month using the equation y = 50x. The cost of the phone bill per month is represented by y and x represents the gigabytes of data used that month. What is the value and interpretation of the slope of this equation?

• A. 75 dollars per day
• B. 75 gigabytes per day
• C. 50 dollars per day
• D. 50 dollars per gigabyte

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The slope of the equation y = 50x is 50, which means that for each additional gigabyte of data used, the cost increases by 50 dollars. Therefore, the interpretation of the slope is that it represents the cost per gigabyte, making '50 dollars per gigabyte' the correct answer. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not reflect the relationship between the cost and the amount of data used in the given equation.

5. A set of patients is divided into groups: 1/2 in Group Alpha, 1/3 in Group Beta, and 1/6 in Group Gamma. Order the groups from smallest to largest.

• A. Alpha, Beta, Gamma
• B. Alpha, Gamma, Beta
• C. Gamma, Alpha, Beta
• D. Gamma, Beta, Alpha

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To determine the order from smallest to largest groups, we look at the fractions representing the groups. Group Gamma has 1/6, which is the smallest fraction, followed by Group Alpha with 1/2, and Group Beta with 1/3 being the largest fraction. So, the correct order is Gamma, Alpha, Beta. Choice A is incorrect because it lists Alpha, Beta, Gamma, which is the reverse order. Choice B is incorrect as it lists Alpha, Gamma, Beta, which is also incorrect. Choice D is incorrect as it lists Gamma, Beta, Alpha, which is not the correct order based on the fractions provided.
