1. Jayden rides his bike for 5/8 miles. He takes a break and rides another 3/4 miles. How many miles does he ride?

• A. 1 3/8 miles
• B. 1 1/2 miles
• C. 1 7/8 miles
• D. 2 miles

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total distance Jayden rides, you need to add the fractions 5/8 + 3/4. To add these fractions, you must ensure they have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 8. So, 5/8 + 3/4 = 5/8 + 6/8 = 11/8. Since 11/8 can be simplified to 1 3/8, Jayden rides a total of 1 3/8 miles. Choice B (1 1/2 miles), Choice C (1 7/8 miles), and Choice D (2 miles) are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the total distance calculated by adding the two fractions, which is 1 3/8 miles.

2. How do you convert yards to feet, and feet to yards?

• A. Multiply yards by 3 to get feet; divide feet by 3 to get yards
• B. Multiply yards by 2 to get feet; divide feet by 2 to get yards
• C. Multiply yards by 1.5 to get feet; divide feet by 1.5 to get yards
• D. Multiply yards by 4 to get feet; divide feet by 4 to get yards

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert yards to feet, you need to know that 1 yard is equal to 3 feet. Therefore, to convert yards to feet, you multiply the number of yards by 3. To convert feet to yards, you divide the number of feet by 3. Choice A correctly states that you should multiply yards by 3 to get feet and divide feet by 3 to get yards. Choices B, C, and D provide incorrect conversion factors, leading to inaccurate results.

3. 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.

4. Using the chart below, which equation describes the relationship between x and y?

• A. x = 3y
• B. y = 3x
• C. y = 1/3x
• D. x/y = 3

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct equation that describes the relationship between x and y based on the chart is y = 3x. This is because each y-value in the chart is 3 times the x-value. Choice A (x = 3y) is incorrect as it implies x is 3 times y, which is the opposite of the relationship shown in the chart. Choice C (y = 1/3x) is incorrect since the relationship in the chart indicates y is 3 times x, not a third of x. Choice D (x/y = 3) is incorrect as it represents a ratio between x and y equal to 3, which is not in line with the relationship depicted in the chart.

5. Which of the following is equivalent to 3.28?

• A. (328/100)
• B. (41/5)
• C. (3/28)
• D. (7/25)

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a fraction, we can treat it as a fraction over 1 and then simplify. For 3.28, it can be written as 3.28/1. To convert this to a fraction, we multiply by 100 to get (328/100). Then, to simplify, we divide both the numerator and denominator by 4 to get (82/25). This simplifies further to (7/25). Therefore, (7/25) is equivalent to 3.28. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the decimal 3.28.
