1. Solve for x: 4x + 2 = 18.

• A. x = 4
• B. x = 4
• C. x = 5
• D. x = 3

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To solve for x, first, subtract 2 from both sides of the equation: 4x = 16. Then, divide by 4 to isolate x: x = 4. Choice A, x = 4, is the correct answer as calculated. Choice C, x = 5, is incorrect because the correct value of x is 4, not 5. Choice D, x = 3, is incorrect as well, as the correct value of x is 4, not 3.

2. In a class of 25 students, 44% are boys. How many boys are there?

• A. 10 boys
• B. 11 boys
• C. 9 boys
• D. 13 boys

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the number of boys in the class, calculate 44% of 25 students. 44% of 25 is calculated as follows: 0.44 x 25 = 11 boys. Therefore, there are 11 boys in the class. Choice A, 10 boys, is incorrect as it miscalculates the percentage. Choice C, 9 boys, is incorrect as it is less than 11. Choice D, 13 boys, is incorrect as it is greater than the correct calculation.

3. In the number 743.25, which digit represents the tenths place?

• A. 3
• B. 4
• C. 2
• D. 5

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In the number 743.25, the tenths place is the first digit to the right of the decimal point, which is 2. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (3) represents the hundredths place, choice B (4) represents the units place, and choice D (5) represents the hundredths place.

4. How many yards are in a mile?

• A. 1,760
• B. 1,700
• C. 1,800
• D. 1,750

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1,760. According to the standard distance conversion, there are 1,760 yards in a mile. This conversion is widely accepted and used in various fields. Choice B, 1,700, is incorrect as it does not correspond to the standard conversion. Choice C, 1,800, represents a different value and is therefore incorrect. Choice D, 1,750, is not the accurate conversion for yards in a mile and is incorrect.

5. Report all decimal places: 3.7 + 7.289 + 4 =

• A. 14.989
• B. 5.226
• C. 15.0
• D. 5.012

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the sum, you add the numbers 3.7, 7.289, and 4 together. 3.7 + 7.289 + 4 equals 14.989. The correct answer is 14.989 because it includes all decimal places from the sum of the numbers provided. Choice B (5.226) is incorrect as it doesn't account for the sum of the given numbers. Choice C (15.0) is incorrect as it rounds the sum to the nearest whole number, losing the decimal precision. Choice D (5.012) is incorrect as it doesn't reflect the correct sum of the decimal numbers.
