1. Cora skated around the rink 27 times but fell 20 times. What percentage of the time did she not fall?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the percentage of the time Cora did not fall, subtract the number of times she fell (20) from the total number of times she skated around the rink (27). This gives us 27 - 20 = 7 times she did not fall. To express this as a percentage, calculate (7/27) * 100% = 25.93%, which is approximately 26%. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.26 (C). Choice A (0.37), Choice B (0.74), and Choice D (0.15) are incorrect as they do not represent the percentage of the time Cora did not fall based on the information provided.

2. Which of the following lists is in order from least to greatest? (1/7), 0.125, (6/9), 0.60

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To determine the order from least to greatest, convert all fractions to decimals and compare them. Converting the fractions: (1/7) ≈ 0.14, (6/9) ≈ 0.67. The decimals in order from least to greatest are: 0.125 < 0.14 < 0.60 < 0.67. Therefore, the correct order is 0.125, (1/7), 0.60, 6/9, making choice C the correct answer. Choice A is incorrect as it lists (1/7) before 0.125. Choice B is incorrect as it places 0.60 before (6/9). Choice D is incorrect as it lists (6/9) before 0.60.

3. What is the result of adding 7/8 and 5/8 and expressing the sum in reduced form?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To add 7/8 and 5/8, we combine the numerators while keeping the denominator the same: 7/8 + 5/8 = (7+5)/8 = 12/8. To simplify this fraction, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 4. This yields 12/8 = 3/2. Therefore, the reduced form of 7/8 + 5/8 is 3/2, which is also equivalent to 1.5 as a mixed number. However, the question specifically asks for the answer in reduced form, making choice C, 3/2 or 31/36 after further simplification, the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the correct result of adding 7/8 and 5/8 in reduced form.

4. A circle has an area of 121π in². Which of the following is the circumference of the circle in terms of pi (π)?

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.

5. What is the volume of a ball with a diameter of 7 inches?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the volume of a sphere, the formula V = (4/3)πr³ is used, where r is the radius of the sphere. Given that the diameter of the ball is 7 inches, the radius (r) would be half of the diameter, which is 3.5 inches. Plugging this value into the formula: V = (4/3)π(3.5)³ = (4/3)π(42.875) ≈ 165.7 in³. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the volume of the ball with a diameter of 7 inches.
