1. What is the result of adding 1/6 and 1/2, expressed in reduced form?

• A. 9/7
• B. 1/3
• C. 31/36
• D. 3/5

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To add 1/6 and 1/2, you need a common denominator, which is 6. So, 1/6 + 3/6 = 4/6. Simplifying 4/6 gives 2/3, which is the correct answer (1/3). Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct sum of the fractions 1/6 and 1/2.

2. 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.

3. What is the median of Pernell's scores (81, 92, 87, 89, and 94)?

• A. 87
• B. 89
• C. 92
• D. 94

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the median, we first need to arrange the scores in ascending order: 81, 87, 89, 92, 94. Since there are five scores, the middle score would be the third one, which is 89. Hence, the median of Pernell's scores is 89. Choice A (87) is incorrect because it is the second score in the ordered list, not the middle one. Choice C (92) and Choice D (94) are also incorrect as they are not positioned in the middle of the ordered series.

4. What score must Dwayne get on his next math test to maintain an overall average of at least 90?

• A. 89
• B. 98
• C. 95
• D. 100

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To maintain an overall average of at least 90, Dwayne must aim for a score of 90 on every test. If his current average is below 90, he needs to make up for it by scoring higher on upcoming tests. Choosing 98 ensures that his overall average remains at or above 90. Choice A (89) is below the desired average of 90, so it would not be sufficient. Choices C (95) and D (100) are higher than necessary to maintain an average of at least 90.

5. If Stella's current weight is 56 kilograms, what is her approximate weight in pounds?

• A. 123 pounds
• B. 110 pounds
• C. 156 pounds
• D. 137 pounds

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert kilograms to pounds, you multiply the weight in kilograms by 2.2. So, 56 kilograms * 2.2 = 123.2 pounds, which can be approximated to 123 pounds. Therefore, Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not match the correct conversion from kilograms to pounds for Stella's weight of 56 kilograms.
