• A. 27cm
• B. 32cm
• C. 37cm
• D. 45cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its three sides. In this case, the sides of the triangular scarf measure 10cm, 12cm, and 15cm. Therefore, the perimeter is calculated as: Perimeter = 10cm + 12cm + 15cm Perimeter = 37cm Therefore, the correct answer is B) 32cm.

2. In Mr. Garcia's class, two-thirds of the students are boys. If there are 27 students in the class, how many of them are girls?

• A. 1
• B. 9
• C. 12
• D. 20

Correct answer: B

Rationale: If two-thirds of the students are boys, then one-third of the students must be girls. One-third of 27 is 9, so there are 9 girls in Mr. Garcia's class. Therefore, the correct answer is 9. Choice A is incorrect because it is too low; only one-third of the students are girls. Choices C and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information in the question.

3. What is the numerical value of the Roman numeral XVII?

• A. 22
• B. 17
• C. 48
• D. 57

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The Roman numeral XVII represents the number 17. In Roman numerals, X stands for 10 and V stands for 5. When V (5) is subtracted from X (10), it results in 5 being subtracted from 10, which equals 5. Adding this to V (5) gives the total value of XVII as 17. Choice A is incorrect because it is not the correct numerical value of XVII. Choice C and D are also incorrect as they do not correspond to the Roman numeral XVII.

4. 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.

5. After spending money on a sandwich, a drink, and a bag of chips, how much money did the man have left from his initial $10?

• A. $1.50
• B. $0.95
• C. $1.90
• D. $2.10

Correct answer: B

Rationale: After spending $6.50 on a sandwich, the man had $3.50 left. Then, after spending $1.80 on a drink, he had $1.70 left. Finally, he spent another $0.75 on a bag of chips. Subtracting $0.75 from $1.70 gives us $0.95, which is the amount of money he had left. Choice A is incorrect because it does not consider the bag of chips he bought. Choice C is incorrect as it miscalculates the remaining amount. Choice D is incorrect as it does not account for the total expenses.
