1. During week 1, Cameron worked 5 shifts. During week 2, she worked twice as many shifts. During week 3, she added 4 more shifts. How many shifts did Cameron work in week 3?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find out how many shifts Cameron worked in week 3, we first determine the shifts worked in weeks 1 and 2. In week 1, Cameron worked 5 shifts. In week 2, she worked twice as many shifts, which is 5 x 2 = 10 shifts. Adding the 4 more shifts in week 3, the total shifts worked in week 3 would be 5 (week 1) + 10 (week 2) + 4 (week 3) = 19 shifts. Therefore, the correct answer is 14 shifts (Option B), not 15 shifts (Option A), 16 shifts (Option C), or 17 shifts (Option D).

2. How can you distinguish between these three types of graphs - scatterplots: Quadratic, Exponential, Linear?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To differentiate between the three types of graphs - scatterplots, a linear graph will display a straight line, a quadratic graph will have a U-shape, and an exponential graph will show a rapid rise or fall in one direction. Choice B is incorrect because linear graphs are represented by straight lines, not curved lines. Choice C is incorrect as linear graphs do not exhibit zigzag patterns, and exponential graphs do not typically result in flat lines. Choice D is incorrect because quadratic graphs form a U-shape, not a W-shape, and exponential graphs do not represent vertical lines.

3. Solve for x in the equation: 3x - 5 = 16

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To solve for x, add 5 to both sides of the equation: 3x - 5 + 5 = 16 + 5, which simplifies to 3x = 21. Next, divide both sides by 3: x = 21 ÷ 3 = 7. Therefore, the correct answer is x = 7, making option A the correct choice. Option C, '8,' is incorrect as it is not the solution obtained from the correct calculations. Options B and D, '5' and '9,' are also incorrect and not the solution to the given equation.

4. Sally wants to buy a used truck for her delivery business. Truck A is priced at $450 and gets 25 miles per gallon. Truck B costs $650 and gets 35 miles per gallon. If gasoline costs $4 per gallon, how many miles must Sally drive to make truck B the better buy?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To determine the breakeven point where Truck B becomes the better buy, we need to compare the total costs for both trucks. For Truck A: Total cost = $450 + (miles / 25) * $4. For Truck B: Total cost = $650 + (miles / 35) * $4. To find the point where Truck B is the better buy, set the two total cost equations equal to each other and solve for miles. By solving this equation, we find that Sally must drive 4375 miles for Truck B to be the better buy. Choice A (500) is too low, Choice B (7500) is too high, and Choice C (1750) does not represent the breakeven point where Truck B becomes more cost-effective.

5. A soccer field is rectangular in shape and is 100 meters long and 75 meters wide. The hectare is a metric unit of area often used to measure larger areas. Given that 1 hectare = 10,000 square meters, which of the following represents the soccer field’s area in hectares?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the area of the soccer field, multiply its length by its width: 100 meters × 75 meters = 7500 square meters. To convert this to hectares, divide by 10,000 (since 1 hectare = 10,000 square meters), resulting in 0.75 hectares. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert the area to hectares. B and C are off by a factor of 10, while D is off by a factor of 10,000.
