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. What is the percentage equivalent of 0.0016?

• A. 16%
• B. 160%
• C. 1.60%
• D. 0.16%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percentage, you multiply by 100. Therefore, to find the percentage equivalent of 0.0016, you would multiply 0.0016 by 100 to get 0.16%. This means that choice D, '0.16%', is the correct answer. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not correctly represent the percentage equivalent of 0.0016.

3. If m represents a car’s average mileage in miles per gallon, p represents the price of gas in dollars per gallon, and d represents a distance in miles, which of the following algebraic equations represents the cost, c, of gas per mile?

• A. c = dp/m
• B. c = p/m
• C. c = mp/d
• D. c = m/p

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The cost of gas per mile, c, is calculated by dividing the price of gas, represented by p, by the car's average mileage, represented by m. Therefore, the correct equation is c = p/m. Choice A (dp/m) incorrectly multiplies the price of gas and distance, while choice C (mp/d) incorrectly multiplies the average mileage and price of gas. Choice D (m/p) incorrectly divides the average mileage by the price of gas, which does not represent the cost of gas per mile.

4. Solve the following equation: 3(2y+50)−4y=500

• A. y = 125
• B. y = 175
• C. y = 150
• D. y = 200

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To solve the equation 3(2y+50)−4y=500, first distribute to get 6y+150−4y=500. Combining like terms results in 2𝑦 + 150 = 500. By subtracting 150 from both sides, we get 2y = 350. Dividing by 2 gives y = 175. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly follow the steps of distributing, combining like terms, and isolating the variable to solve for y.

5. After a hurricane struck a Pacific island, donations began flooding into a disaster relief organization. The organization provided four options for donors. What percentage of the funds was donated to support construction costs?

• A. 49%
• B. 23%
• C. 18%
• D. 10%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B (23%). The information was obtained from the pie chart which indicated that 23% of the funds were allocated to support construction costs. Choice A (49%), Choice C (18%), and Choice D (10%) are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate percentage designated for construction costs according to the data provided.
