1. How will the number 847.89632 be written if rounded to the nearest hundredth?
- A. 847.90
- B. 900
- C. 847.89
- D. 847.896
Correct answer: A
Rationale: When rounding to the nearest hundredth, we look at the digit in the thousandth place, which is 8. Since the next digit, in the ten-thousandth place, is 9 (greater than or equal to 5), we round up the hundredth place digit. Therefore, 847.89632 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 847.90. Choice B (900) is incorrect as it does not round the number to the nearest hundredth. Choice C (847.89) is also incorrect as it drops the digit 6 in the ten-thousandth place. Choice D (847.896) does not round the number to the nearest hundredth as it retains the thousandth place digit 3.
2. Mandy can buy 4 containers of yogurt and 3 boxes of crackers for $9.55. She can buy 2 containers of yogurt and 2 boxes of crackers for $5.90. How much does one box of crackers cost?
- A. $1.75
- B. $2.00
- C. $2.25
- D. $2.50
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To solve this problem, we can set up a system of equations. Let the cost of one container of yogurt be y and the cost of one box of crackers be c. From the first scenario, we have 4y + 3c = 9.55. From the second scenario, we have 2y + 2c = 5.90. Solving these equations simultaneously, we find that c = $2.25. Therefore, one box of crackers costs $2.25. Choice A, $1.75, is incorrect because it does not satisfy the given conditions in the system of equations. Choice B, $2.00, is incorrect as it does not match the calculated solution. Choice D, $2.50, is incorrect as it does not align with the calculated value for one box of crackers.
3. Your measurement of the width of a door is 36 inches. The actual width of the door is 35.75 inches. What is the relative error in your measurement?
- A. 0.70%
- B. 0.01%
- C. 0.99%
- D. 0.10%
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To calculate relative error, you use the formula: (|measured value - actual value| / actual value) * 100%. Substituting the values, we get (|36 - 35.75| / 35.75) * 100% = (0.25 / 35.75) * 100% = 0.7%. This means your measurement is off by 0.7% from the actual width of the door. Choice B, 0.01%, is too small as it doesn't reflect the actual difference. Choices C and D are significantly different from the calculated answer and do not represent the accurate relative error in the measurement.
4. Given the histograms shown below, which of the following statements is true?
- A. Group A is negatively skewed and has a mean less than Group B.
- B. Group A is positively skewed and has a mean greater than Group B.
- C. Group B is negatively skewed and has a mean greater than Group A.
- D. Group B is positively skewed and has a mean less than Group A.
Correct answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Group B is negatively skewed, indicating more high scores, leading to a higher mean for Group B when compared to Group A. Choice A is incorrect because Group A is not negatively skewed and doesn't have a mean less than Group B. Choice B is incorrect as Group A is not positively skewed and its mean is not greater than Group B. Choice D is also incorrect because Group B having a mean less than Group A contradicts the fact that Group B has a higher mean due to being negatively skewed.
5. Simplify the following expression: 5/9 × 15/36
- A. 5/36
- B. 8/27
- C. 10/17
- D. 15/27
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To simplify the given expression, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. 5/9 × 15/36 = (5 × 15) / (9 × 36) = 75 / 324. Now, simplify the resulting fraction by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 75 and 324, which is 3. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 3 to get the simplified fraction: 75 ÷ 3 / 324 ÷ 3 = 25 / 108. Therefore, the simplified form of 5/9 × 15/36 is 25/108, which is equivalent to 5/36. Choice A, 5/36, is the correct answer. Choice B, 8/27, is incorrect as it does not match the simplified form of the expression. Choice C, 10/17, is unrelated and does not result from the given multiplication. Choice D, 15/27, does not correspond to the simplification of the given expression.
