1. A female ran a 24-mile course. Her first 6 miles took 1 hour, the second set of 6 miles took 1.2 hours, the third set of 6 miles took 1.5 hours, and the fourth set of 6 miles took 1.6 hours. How long did it take her to complete the course?

• A. 5.3 hours
• B. 4.5 hours
• C. 6 hours
• D. 7 hours

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total time taken, add the time for each segment: 1 hour + 1.2 hours + 1.5 hours + 1.6 hours = 5.3 hours. Therefore, it took her 5.3 hours to complete the course. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the cumulative time calculated based on the given information.

2. What is the result of the addition: 34 + 4 + 234?

• A. 70.2
• B. 230.72
• C. 234.74
• D. 272

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Adding the given numbers together: 34 + 4 + 234 = 272. The correct sum is 272. Choice A, 70.2, is incorrect as it does not reflect the accurate addition of the numbers. Choice B, 230.72, is incorrect as well. Choice C, 234.74, is also incorrect since the correct sum is 272, not 234.74.

3. What is the solution to the equation 4y - 6 = 14? Solve for y.

• A. 4
• B. 5
• C. 6
• D. 7

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To solve the equation 4y - 6 = 14 for y, isolate y by adding 6 to both sides: 4y = 14 + 6 => 4y = 20. Then, divide by 4 to solve for y: y = 20 ÷ 4 = 5. Therefore, the correct answer is 5. Choice A is incorrect as it does not represent the correct solution to the equation. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the solution obtained after correctly solving the equation. Choice D is incorrect as it is not the correct solution to the given equation.

4. What is the result of adding 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08?

• A. 21.114
• B. 21.042
• C. 20.214
• D. 59.13

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the sum of 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08, we add them together: 4.934 + 7.1 + 9.08 = 21.114. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 21.114. Choice B, 21.042, is incorrect as it does not represent the accurate sum of the numbers provided. Choice C, 20.214, is incorrect as it does not account for the correct addition of the given numbers. Choice D, 59.13, is incorrect as it is not the sum of the numbers 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08.

5. A runner leaves at 7:45 for a morning run at an average speed of 6 mph and returns at 10:00. How many miles did he run?

• A. 11.5 miles
• B. 14.5 miles
• C. 12 miles
• D. 13.5 miles

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The runner left at 7:45 and returned at 10:00, which means he ran for 2 hours and 15 minutes (10:00 - 7:45). At an average speed of 6 mph, in 2.25 hours, he would have covered 6 mph * 2.25 hours = 13.5 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is 13.5 miles. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they incorrectly calculate the distance based on the time and speed provided in the question.
