1. 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.
2. Which of the following is not a negative value?
- A. (−3)(−1)(2)(−1)
- B. 14 – 7 + (−7)
- C. 7 – 10 + (−8)
- D. −5(−2)(−3)
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To identify the negative value, simplify each expression. A) simplifies to 6 which is positive. B) simplifies to 0 which is neither positive nor negative. C) simplifies to -11 which is negative. D) simplifies to -30 which is negative. Therefore, only choice B results in a non-negative value, making it the correct answer.
3. A closet is filled with red, blue, and green shirts. If 1/4 of the shirts are green and 1/3 are red, what fraction of the shirts are blue?
- A. 1/2
- B. 1/3
- C. 5/12
- D. 1/4
Correct answer: C
Rationale: Let the total number of shirts be x. Given that 1/4 of the shirts are green and 1/3 are red, we have Green = x/4 and Red = x/3. To find the fraction of blue shirts, we subtract the fractions of green and red shirts from 1: Blue fraction = 1 - (1/4 + 1/3) = 1 - (3/12 + 4/12) = 1 - 7/12 = 5/12. Therefore, the fraction of blue shirts is 5/12. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the fraction of blue shirts given the information provided.
4. A lab technician took 100 hairs from a patient to conduct several tests. The technician used 1/7 of the hairs for a drug test. How many hairs were used for the drug test? (Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.)
- A. 14
- B. 14.2
- C. 14.29
- D. 14.3
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find how many hairs were used for the drug test, you need to calculate 1/7 of 100. 1/7 of 100 is 14.2857, which rounds to 14.29 when rounded to the nearest hundredth. Therefore, 14.29 hairs were used for the drug test. Choice A is incorrect as it does not account for rounding to the nearest hundredth. Choices B and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the calculated value after rounding.
5. What is the result of multiplying (3/5) by (5/8)?
- A. 3/8
- B. 3/5
- C. 15/40
- D. 3/30
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. For (3/5) * (5/8), you get (3*5) / (5*8) = 15 / 40, which simplifies to 3/8. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (3/5) is incorrect as it is one of the original fractions being multiplied. Choice C (15/40) is the result of the multiplication but not simplified to its lowest terms. Choice D (3/30) is incorrect as the numerator is not the result of multiplying 3 and 5 together.
