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. Which decimal is the smallest?

• A. 2.22
• B. 2.02
• C. 2.002
• D. 2.2

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To determine the smallest decimal, we look at the digits after the decimal point. In this case, 2.002 is the smallest because it has the least value in the thousandths place. Choice A, 2.22, has a higher value in the hundredths place making it larger. Choice B, 2.02, has a higher value in the hundredths place compared to 2.002. Choice D, 2.2, is larger than 2.002 as it has a higher value in the tenths place.

3. What is a factor?

• A. A number that you multiply to get another number
• B. A number that divides evenly into another number
• C. A number that can be both multiplied and divided by another number
• D. A number that is greater than 1

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A factor is a number that can be multiplied by another number to produce a third number. When you multiply factors together, you get the original number. For example, the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12 because these numbers can be multiplied in pairs to give the product 12. Choice B is incorrect as it describes a divisor. Choice C is incorrect because factors are only multiplied, not divided. Choice D is incorrect because factors can be any number, not just those greater than 1.

4. Adrian measures the circumference of a circular picture frame with a radius of 3 inches. Which of the following is the best estimate for the circumference of the frame?

• A. 12 inches
• B. 16 inches
• C. 18 inches
• D. 24 inches

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the circumference of a circle, use the formula 2πr, where r is the radius. In this case, with a radius of 3 inches, the estimated circumference would be 2 x π x 3 = 6π ≈ 18.85 inches. Therefore, the best estimate for the circumference of the frame is 18 inches (Choice C). Choice A (12 inches) is too small as it corresponds to the diameter rather than the circumference. Choice B (16 inches) and Choice D (24 inches) are also incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the given radius.

5. Adrian measures the circumference of a circular picture frame with a radius of 3 inches. Which of the following is the best estimate for the circumference of the frame?

• A. 12 inches
• B. 16 inches
• C. 18 inches
• D. 24 inches

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The circumference of a circle is given by the formula Circumference = 2 x π x radius. Given that the radius of the picture frame is 3 inches, the estimated circumference can be calculated as 2 x π x 3 = 18.84 inches, which is closest to 18 inches among the given options. Choice A (12 inches) is too small, choice B (16 inches) is also underestimated, and choice D (24 inches) is too large based on the calculated value using the formula.
