1. Based on the information in the table showing healthcare spending per capita in a group of African nations, which country experienced the largest increase in dollars spent per capita from 2013 to 2015?

• A. Eritrea
• B. Sudan
• C. Tanzania
• D. Kenya

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Eritrea had the largest increase in healthcare spending per capita from 2013 to 2015. By comparing the data in the table, it is evident that Eritrea had the greatest change in dollars spent per capita during the specified period. Sudan, Tanzania, and Kenya did not experience as significant an increase in healthcare spending per capita as Eritrea did, making them incorrect choices.

2. The cost of renting a car is $50 per day plus $0.25 per mile driven. If a customer rents the car for 3 days and drives 120 miles, what is the total cost?

• A. $156
• B. $190
• C. $165
• D. $210

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the total cost, first, multiply the number of days by the cost per day: 3 days x $50/day = $150. Then, multiply the number of miles driven by the cost per mile: 120 miles x $0.25 = $30. Finally, add the two amounts together: $150 (daily cost) + $30 (mileage cost) = $180. Therefore, the correct total cost is $180, which corresponds to choice A. The other choices are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate calculation of $150 for the daily cost and $30 for the mileage cost.

3. Express 18/5 as a reduced mixed number.

• A. 3 3/5
• B. 3 1/15
• C. 3 1/18
• D. 3 1/54

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 18/5 = 3 with a remainder of 3, so it is 3 3/5. 3 1/15 is equivalent to 46/15 which is greater than 18/5 3 1/18 converts to 55/18 which is also greater than 18/5 3 1/54 converts to 163/54

4. What is the number of students who said their favorite color is blue if 35% of 100 students chose blue as their favorite color?

• A. 35
• B. 25
• C. 20
• D. 10

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the number of students who said their favorite color is blue, we calculate 35% of 100, which is (35/100) * 100 = 35. Therefore, 35 students said their favorite color is blue. Choice B is incorrect because it represents the percentage of students who chose red. Choice C is incorrect as it represents the percentage of students who chose green. Choice D is incorrect as it represents the percentage of students who chose yellow.

5. If a train travels 60 miles per hour for 2 hours, how far does the train travel?

• A. 60 miles
• B. 100 miles
• C. 120 miles
• D. 200 miles

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the distance traveled by the train, we use the formula Distance = Speed x Time. Given that the train travels at 60 miles per hour for 2 hours, the calculation would be 60 miles/hour x 2 hours = 120 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is 120 miles. Choice A (60 miles) is incorrect because it only represents the speed of the train, not the total distance traveled. Choice B (100 miles) is incorrect as it does not account for the full 2 hours of travel. Choice D (200 miles) is incorrect as it overestimates the distance by multiplying the speed by the time incorrectly.
