1. What is the cost of building a fence around a square lawn with an area of 62,500 square meters at a rate of $5 per meter?

• A. $4,000
• B. $4,500
• C. $5,000
• D. $5,500

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To determine the cost of building a fence around the square lawn, first calculate the length of one side by finding the square root of the area: √62500 = 250 meters (length of one side). The perimeter of a square is four times the length of one side, so the perimeter of the lawn is 4 * 250 = 1000 meters. To find the cost of the fence, multiply the perimeter by the cost per meter: 1000 meters * $5/meter = $5000. Therefore, the correct answer is $5,000, which corresponds to choice C. Choice A ($4,000), choice B ($4,500), and choice D ($5,500) are incorrect as they do not accurately calculate the cost based on the given information.

2. Solve for x if x=11. x+(44/2x)

• A. 2.5
• B. 33
• C. 55
• D. 13

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Substitute x=11 into the expression: 11 + (44 / 2*11) = 11 + (44 / 22) = 11 + 2 = 13 Therefore, the correct answer is 13. Choice A (2.5) is incorrect as the correct result is 13, not 2.5. Choice B (33) is incorrect because it does not result from the given expression. Choice C (55) is incorrect as it does not match the calculated value. Choice D (13) is incorrect because the correct solution is 13, not 2.5.

3. What is the probability of getting a 1 on a six-sided die?

• A. 1/6
• B. 1/4
• C. 1/3
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The probability of getting a '1' on a six-sided die is 1 out of 6 possible outcomes, making it a 1/6 probability. Therefore, choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the correct probability of rolling a '1' on a standard six-sided die.

4. How many grams are in 10 kilograms?

• A. 10,000 grams
• B. 100 grams
• C. 1000 grams
• D. 100,000 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 10,000 grams. There are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, to find the number of grams in 10 kilograms, you multiply 10 (kilograms) by 1,000 (grams/kilogram) to get 10,000 grams. Choice B (100 grams) is incorrect as it represents the conversion for 1 kilogram, not 10 kilograms. Choice C (1000 grams) is incorrect as it is equal to 1 kilogram, not 10 kilograms. Choice D (100,000 grams) is incorrect as it represents the conversion for 100 kilograms, not 10 kilograms.

5. Subtract 5/6 - 3/4.

• A. 1/12
• B. 2/24
• C. 1/2
• D. 1/8

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To subtract fractions, find a common denominator. The common denominator for 6 and 4 is 12. So, 5/6 = 10/12 and 3/4 = 9/12. Subtracting 10/12 - 9/12 gives us 1/12 as the result. Choice A, 1/12, is the correct answer because it represents the simplified result of subtracting the fractions with the common denominator. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct subtraction result of 1/12 after finding the common denominator.
