1. Divide 52 by 27 and 51 by 27 and simplify.

• A. 52/27
• B. 51/27
• C. 52/29
• D. 51/29

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To divide 52 by 27 and 51 by 27, you get 52/27 and 51/27, respectively. When simplified, 52/27 is the correct answer. The other choices, 51/27, 52/29, and 51/29, are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct result of dividing the given numbers.

2. Find the area in square centimeters of a circle with a diameter of 16 centimeters. Use 3.14 for π.

• A. 25.12
• B. 50.24
• C. 100.48
• D. 200.96

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The formula for the area of a circle is: Area = π x (radius²). Given: Diameter = 16 cm, so Radius = Diameter / 2 = 16 / 2 = 8 cm. Now, calculate the area using π = 3.14: Area = 3.14 x (8²) = 3.14 x 64 = 200.96 cm². The correct answer is D (200.96 cm²) as it correctly calculates the area of the circle. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the accurate area of the circle based on the given diameter and π value.

3. What is the range in the number of houses sold per year?

• A. 20
• B. 25
• C. 29
• D. 35

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The range in the number of houses sold per year is calculated by subtracting the minimum number of houses sold from the maximum number of houses sold. In this case, the range is 42 (maximum) - 11 (minimum) = 31, not 29 as stated in the original rationale. Therefore, choice C (29) is incorrect. Choices A (20), B (25), and D (35) are also incorrect as they do not reflect the correct range of houses sold per year, which is 31.

4. Which of the following is listed in order from least to greatest? (-2, -3/4, -0.45, 3%, 0.36)

• A. -2, -3/4, -0.45, 3%, 0.36
• B. -3/4, -0.45, -2, 0.36, 3%
• C. -0.45, -2, -3/4, 3%, 0.36
• D. -2, -3/4, -0.45, 0.36, 3%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine the order from least to greatest, convert all the values to a common form. When written in decimal form, the order is -2, -0.75 (which is equal to -3/4), -0.45, 0.03 (which is equal to 3%), and 0.36. Therefore, the correct order is -2, -3/4, -0.45, 3%, 0.36 (Choice A). Choice B is incorrect as it has the incorrect placement of -2 and 0.36. Choice C is incorrect as it incorrectly places -0.45 before -2. Choice D is incorrect as it incorrectly places 0.36 before 3%.

5. If a product's original price is $80 and it is discounted by 20%, what is the final price?

• A. 64
• B. 60
• C. 70
• D. 66

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the discounted price, you first calculate 20% of the original price: 20% of $80 is $16. Subtracting this discount amount from the original price gives the final price: $80 - $16 = $64. Therefore, the final price after a 20% discount on a product originally priced at $80 is $64. Choice B, $60, is incorrect because it does not account for the correct discount amount. Choice C, $70, is incorrect as it does not reflect the reduction due to the 20% discount. Choice D, $66, is incorrect as it miscalculates the discounted price.
