1. On a floor plan drawn at a scale of 1:100, the area of a rectangular room is 30 cm². What is the actual area of the room?

A. 30,000 cm²
B. 300 m²
C. 3,000 m²
D. 30 m²

Correct answer: D

Rationale: On a 1:100 scale drawing, each centimeter represents one meter. The area of the room in the scale drawing is 30 cm², which means the actual area is 30 m². Choice A (30,000 cm²) is incorrect as it doesn't account for the scale conversion. Choice B (300 m²) is incorrect because it multiplies the scale area directly by 10,000, which is not the correct conversion. Choice C (3,000 m²) is also incorrect as it applies the scale factor incorrectly.

2. What is the volume of a ball with a diameter of 7 inches?

A. 165.7 in³
B. 179.6 in³
C. 184.5 in³
D. 192.3 in³

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the volume of a sphere, the formula V = (4/3)πr³ is used, where r is the radius of the sphere. Given that the diameter of the ball is 7 inches, the radius (r) would be half of the diameter, which is 3.5 inches. Plugging this value into the formula: V = (4/3)π(3.5)³ = (4/3)π(42.875) ≈ 165.7 in³. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the volume of the ball with a diameter of 7 inches.

3. A woman’s dinner bill comes to $48.30. If she adds a 20% tip, which of the following will be her total bill?

A. $9.66
B. $38.64
C. $48.30
D. $57.96

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To calculate the total bill after adding a 20% tip, you need to find 120% of the original bill. This is because adding a 20% tip means paying 120% of the bill. So, $48.30 × 120/100 = $57.96. Therefore, the correct answer is $57.96. Choice A ($9.66) is incorrect as it represents only the 20% tip amount. Choice B ($38.64) is incorrect as it is the original bill amount without the tip. Choice C ($48.30) is incorrect as it is the original bill amount and does not include the additional 20% tip.

4. 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.

5. Which of the following percentages is equivalent to 5 ¼?

A. 525%
B. 514%
C. 5.25%
D. 5.14%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a mixed number to a decimal, 5 ¼ becomes 5.25. To convert this decimal to a percentage, you multiply it by 100. Therefore, 5.25 × 100 = 525%. Choice A is correct. Choice B (514%) is incorrect as it does not match the equivalent of 5 ¼. Choice C (5.25%) is the decimal equivalent of 5 ¼, not the percentage. Choice D (5.14%) is a different value and does not represent the percentage equivalent of 5 ¼.
