1. The number of vacuum cleaners sold by a company per month during Year 1 is listed below: 18, 42, 29, 40, 24, 17, 29, 44, 19, 33, 46, 39. Which of the following is true?

A. The mean is less than the median
B. The mode is greater than the median
C. The mode is less than the mean, median, and range
D. The mode is equal to the range

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The mean number of vacuum cleaners sold per month is 31.7, the mode is 29, the median is 31, and the range is 29. The mode being equal to the range is the correct statement. Option A is incorrect because the mean (31.7) is greater than the median (31). Option B is incorrect as the mode (29) is not greater than the median (31). Option C is incorrect since the mode (29) is not less than the mean, median, or range.

2. Which of the following weights is equivalent to 3.193 kilograms?

A. 3,193,000 grams
B. 3,193 grams
C. 319.3 grams
D. 0.003193 grams

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to remember that 1 kilogram is equal to 1,000 grams. Therefore, 3.193 kilograms is equivalent to 3,193 grams (3.193 kg * 1,000 g/kg = 3,193 g). Choice A (3,193,000 grams) incorrectly converts kilograms to milligrams, Choice C (319.3 grams) incorrectly moves the decimal point one place to the right, and Choice D (0.003193 grams) incorrectly converts kilograms to milligrams and then further to grams.

3. There are 20 mg of acetaminophen in concentrated infant drops. If the proper dosage for a four-year-old child is 240 mg, how many milliliters should the child receive?

A. 0.8 mL
B. 1.6 mL
C. 2.4 mL
D. 3.2 mL

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the correct dosage in milliliters, divide the total required dosage in milligrams (240 mg) by the concentration of the medication in milligrams per milliliter (20 mg/mL). This calculation yields 12 mL, which is the recommended volume for the child. Choice A, 0.8 mL, is incorrect as it does not correspond to the correct dosage. Choice B, 1.6 mL, is incorrect because it also does not match the calculated dosage. Choice D, 3.2 mL, is incorrect as it is not the accurate result of the dosage calculation. Therefore, the correct answer is C, 2.4 mL.

4. What is the least common denominator for the fractions below? 1/2, 2/3, 4/5

A. 30
B. 25
C. 7
D. 19

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the least common denominator for fractions 1/2, 2/3, and 4/5, we need to identify the least common multiple of the denominators. The denominators are 2, 3, and 5. The least common multiple of 2, 3, and 5 is 30. Therefore, 30 is the least common denominator for these fractions. Choice B (25), C (7), and D (19) are incorrect because they are not the least common multiple of the denominators of the given fractions.

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: 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.
