1. Melissa is ordering fencing to enclose a square area of 5625 square feet. How many feet of fencing does she need?
- A. 75 feet
- B. 150 feet
- C. 300 feet
- D. 5,625 feet
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the side length of the square, we take the square root of the area: √5625 ft² = 75 ft. The perimeter of a square is 4 times its side length, so the fencing needed is 4 × 75 ft = 300 ft. Therefore, Melissa needs 300 feet of fencing to enclose the square area of 5625 square feet. Option A (75 feet) is the side length of the square, not the fencing needed. Option B (150 feet) is half of the correct answer and does not account for all sides of the square. Option D (5,625 feet) is the total area, not the length of fencing required.
2. How much hydrochloric acid (HCl) is necessary to make 2.5 liters of a 5:1 solution of water (in liters) to HCl (in grams)?
- A. 0.5 grams
- B. 2 grams
- C. 5 grams
- D. 12.5 grams
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To create a 5:1 solution in 2.5 liters, 0.5 liters are needed for HCl, which translates to 5 grams. The correct answer is 5 grams, as this amount corresponds to the 5:1 ratio specified in the solution. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the 5:1 ratio and the volume of the solution.
3. University Q has an extremely competitive nursing program. Historically, 3/4 of the students in each incoming class major in nursing, but only 1/3 of those who major in nursing actually complete the program. If this year’s incoming class has 100 students, how many students will complete the nursing program?
- A. 75
- B. 20
- C. 25
- D. 5
Correct answer: C
Rationale: Out of 100 students, 3/4 major in nursing, which is 75 students (100 * 3/4 = 75). Among these 75 students, only 1/3 will complete the program. Therefore, 1/3 of 75 is 25. Hence, 25 students will complete the nursing program. Choice A (75) is incorrect because this represents the number of students majoring in nursing, not completing the program. Choices B (20) and D (5) are incorrect as they do not align with the calculation based on the given fractions and total number of students.
4. Curtis measured the temperature of water in a flask in his science class. The temperature of the water was 35 °C. He carefully heated the flask so that the temperature of the water increased by about 2 °C every 3 minutes. Approximately how much had the temperature of the water increased after 20 minutes?
- A. 10 °C
- B. 13 °C
- C. 15 °C
- D. 35 °C
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To find the increase in temperature after 20 minutes, calculate how many 3-minute intervals are in 20 minutes (20 ÷ 3 = 6.66, rounding to 7 intervals). Then, multiply the temperature increase per interval (2 °C) by the number of intervals (7 intervals), giving a total increase of 14 °C. Therefore, after 20 minutes, the temperature of the water would have increased by approximately 14 °C. Choice A, 10 °C, is incorrect as it underestimates the total increase. Choice C, 15 °C, is incorrect as it overestimates the total increase. Choice D, 35 °C, is incorrect as it represents the initial temperature of the water, not the increase in temperature.
5. Express 18/5 as a reduced mixed number.
- A. 3 3/5
- B. 3 1/15
- C. 3 1/18
- D. 3 1/54
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To convert the improper fraction 18/5 to a mixed number, divide 18 by 5. The quotient is 3 with a remainder of 3, which translates to 3 3/5. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the conversion of 18/5 to a mixed number.
