1. 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.

2. In a scale drawing for a garden, 2 cm = 1 m. If the garden measures 8 cm by 10 cm in the drawing, how large will it be in reality?

• A. 2 m by 3 m
• B. 4 m by 5 m
• C. 8 m by 10 m
• D. 16 m by 20 m

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In the scale drawing, 2 cm represents 1 m. To find the actual dimensions of the garden in reality, we need to multiply the dimensions in the drawing by the scale factor. So, 8 cm x 2 = 16 cm in reality (length) and 10 cm x 2 = 20 cm in reality (width). Converting these to meters, the garden will be 16 m by 20 m. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly apply the scale factor to determine the actual dimensions of the garden.

3. A plan for a barn is drawn on a 1:30 scale. If the width of a barn door on the plan measures 3 inches, what is the actual width of the finished door?

• A. 90 inches
• B. 10 feet
• C. 9 feet
• D. 7.5 feet

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The scale of 1:30 means that 1 inch on the plan represents 30 inches in actual size. If the width of the barn door on the plan is 3 inches, the actual width is calculated by multiplying 3 inches by the scale factor (30), giving 90 inches. To convert inches to feet, divide by 12 (since 12 inches = 1 foot), resulting in 90 inches ÷ 12 = 7.5 feet. Therefore, the correct answer is 10 feet (option B), not 7.5 feet. Option A (90 inches) is the result before converting to feet, option C (9 feet) is the incorrect conversion if the initial calculation was done correctly, and option D (7.5 feet) is the incorrect conversion of the initial calculation.

4. How many feet are in 3 yards?

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

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert yards to feet, you multiply by 3, as 1 yard is equal to 3 feet. Therefore, 3 yards equals 3 x 3 = 9 feet. Choice A (18 feet) is incorrect because it multiplies by 2 instead of 3. Choice C (12 feet) is incorrect as it multiplies by 4 instead of 3. Choice D (27 feet) is incorrect as it multiplies by 9 instead of 3.

5. 15\25 + 42\52 = ?

• A. 1 3/10
• B. 1 1/10
• C. 1\10\2024
• D. 3\10\2024

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 15\25 + 42\52 simplifies to 1 3\10.
