1. Solve for x: 5x + 10 = 20.

• A. 4
• B. 2
• C. 5
• D. 7

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the equation 5x + 10 = 20, first subtract 10 from both sides to isolate the term with x: 5x = 10. Then, divide by 5 on both sides to find the value of x: x = 2. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B is incorrect because x is not equal to 2 but 4. Choice C is incorrect as x is not equal to 5. Choice D is incorrect as x is not equal to 7.

2. What is the probability of rolling a 4 on a six-sided die?

• A. 1/2
• B. 1/6
• C. 1/3
• D. 1/2

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 1/6. When rolling a six-sided die, there is only one outcome that results in a '4' out of a total of six possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Therefore, the probability of rolling a 4 is 1/6. Choice A (1/2) is incorrect as it represents the probability of rolling an even number on a six-sided die, not specifically a '4.' Choice C (1/3) and Choice D (1/2) do not accurately reflect the probability of rolling a '4' on a six-sided die.

3. What number is 6 equal to 15% of?

• A. 0.9
• B. 40
• C. 80
• D. 90

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the number that 6 is equal to 15% of, we set up the equation 0.15x = 6, where x is the unknown number. To solve for x, we divide 6 by 0.15, which gives us x = 40. Therefore, 6 is equal to 15% of the number 40. Choice A (0.9) is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 6 by 0.15. Choices C (80) and D (90) are incorrect as they do not satisfy the equation 0.15x = 6.

4. A stop sign has five equal sides, each measuring 25cm. What is its perimeter?

• A. 100cm
• B. 125cm
• C. 150cm
• D. 175cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: - Since a stop sign has five equal sides, each measuring 25cm, the perimeter can be calculated by adding up the lengths of all five sides. - Perimeter = 25cm + 25cm + 25cm + 25cm + 25cm = 125cm - Therefore, the perimeter of the stop sign is 125cm.

5. A delivery of medical supplies includes 36 boxes. If each box weighs 2.5 pounds, what is the total weight of the delivery?

• A. 90 pounds
• B. 75 pounds
• C. 120 pounds
• D. 100 pounds

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total weight of the delivery, you need to multiply the number of boxes (36) by the weight of each box (2.5 pounds). This gives you 36 boxes * 2.5 pounds = 90 pounds, which is the correct answer. Choice B (75 pounds), C (120 pounds), and D (100 pounds) are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the total weight based on the given information.
