1. How do you find the radius of a circle when given the diameter? How do you find the radius of a circle when given the circumference?

• A. Radius = Diameter ÷ 2; Radius = Circumference ÷ 2π
• B. Radius = Diameter ÷ 3; Radius = Circumference ÷ π
• C. Radius = Diameter × 2; Radius = Circumference × 2π
• D. Radius = Diameter ÷ 4; Radius = Circumference ÷ π

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct way to find the radius of a circle when given the diameter is by dividing the diameter by 2 to get the radius (Radius = Diameter ÷ 2). When given the circumference, you need to divide the circumference by 2π to find the radius (Radius = Circumference ÷ 2π). Choice A provides the accurate formulas for finding the radius in both scenarios. Choices B, C, and D present incorrect formulas that do not align with the correct calculations for determining the radius of a circle based on the given information.

2. Which of the following values is the greatest?

• A. 2/11
• B. 5.4
• C. 13/3
• D. 6.25

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To determine the greatest value among the given options, convert the fractions to decimal form. 2/11 is approximately 0.1818, 5.4 is a decimal itself, 13/3 is approximately 4.333, and 6.25 is a decimal. Comparing these values, 6.25 is the largest among them. Therefore, option D, 6.25, is the correct answer. Choices A, B, and C are smaller values compared to 6.25, making them incorrect answers.

3. What is the area of a square that measures 3.1m on each side?

• A. 12.4m²
• B. 9.61m²
• C. 6.2m²
• D. 9.1m²

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the area of a square, you square the length of one side. In this case, the side length is 3.1m. So, Area = side² = 3.1m × 3.1m = 9.61m². Therefore, the correct answer is 9.61m². Choice A (12.4m²) is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying 3.1m by 4 instead of squaring it. Choice C (6.2m²) is incorrect as it is half of the correct answer. Choice D (9.1m²) is incorrect as it is the result of squaring the wrong value (3.1²).

4. Simplify the expression 3x - 5x + 2.

• A. -2x + 2
• B. -8x
• C. 2x + 2
• D. -2x

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When simplifying the expression 3x - 5x + 2, start by combining like terms. -5x is subtracted from 3x to give -2x. Adding 2 at the end gives the simplified expression -2x. Therefore, the correct answer is -2x. Choice A, -2x + 2, incorrectly adds 2 at the end. Choice B, -8x, incorrectly combines the coefficients of x without considering the constant term. Choice C, 2x + 2, incorrectly adds the coefficients of x without simplifying.

5. If , then

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If \(2x = 6\), then solving for \(x\), we have \(x = \frac{6}{2} = 3\). So, if \(x = 3\), then \(x+1 = 3+1 = 4\). Therefore, the value of \(x+1\) would be 4.
