1. Shawna buys 5 gallons of paint. If she uses 2/5 of it on the first day, how much paint does she have left?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find out how much paint Shawna uses on the first day, calculate 2/5 * 5 = 2 gallons. Subtracting the amount used from the total amount gives us 5 - 2 = 3 gallons remaining. Therefore, Shawna has 3 gallons of paint left after using 2 gallons on the first day. Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because she has more paint left than the options presented.

2. A person drives 300 miles at 60 mph, then another 200 miles at 80 mph, with a 30-minute break. How long does the trip take?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the total time, we calculate the time taken for each segment: 300 miles at 60 mph = 300 miles ÷ 60 mph = 5 hours; 200 miles at 80 mph = 200 miles ÷ 80 mph = 2.5 hours. Adding these gives 5 hours + 2.5 hours = 7.5 hours. Converting the 30-minute break to hours (30 minutes ÷ 60 = 0.5 hours), the total time taken is 7.5 hours + 0.5 hours = 8 hours. Therefore, the correct answer is not among the given choices. The rationale provided in the original question is incorrect as it does not account for the break time and has a calculation error in adding the individual times.

3. Veronica decided to celebrate her promotion by purchasing a new car. The base price for the car was $40,210. She paid an additional $3,015 for a surround sound system and $5,218 for a maintenance package. What was the total price of Veronica’s new car?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the total price of Veronica's new car, add the base price, the cost of the surround sound system, and the cost of the maintenance package. Calculation: $40,210 (base price) + $3,015 (sound system) + $5,218 (maintenance package) = $48,443. Therefore, the correct answer is $48,443. Choice A, $50,210, is incorrect as it does not include the maintenance package cost. Choice C, $43,225, is incorrect as it only considers the base price and the maintenance package but omits the sound system cost. Choice D, $40,210, is the base price alone and does not account for the additional costs of the sound system and maintenance package.

4. What is the median of the data set: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the median of a set of numbers, you arrange them in ascending order and then find the middle value. Given the data set 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, when arranged in ascending order, becomes 3, 5, 7, 9, 11. The middle value in this set is 7, making it the median. Choice A (3) is the smallest value, not the middle value. Choice C (9) and Choice D (5) are not the middle values of the set either. Therefore, the correct answer is B (7).

5. What is the mode of the set of numbers {4, 4, 5, 7, 8}?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The mode of a set of numbers is the value that appears most frequently. In the given set {4, 4, 5, 7, 8}, the number 4 appears twice, which is more frequent than any other number. Therefore, the mode of this set is 4. Choice B, 5, is incorrect as it only appears once in the set. Choices C and D, 7 and 8 respectively, also appear only once each, making them less frequent than the number 4.
