1. To begin making her soup, Jennifer added four containers of chicken broth with 1 liter of water into the pot. Each container of chicken broth contains 410 milliliters. How much liquid is in the pot?

• A. 1.64 liters
• B. 2.64 liters
• C. 5.44 liters
• D. 6.12 liters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Each container of chicken broth contains 410 milliliters. Jennifer added four containers, which totals 4 * 410 = 1640 milliliters of chicken broth. She then added 1 liter of water, equivalent to 1000 milliliters. Combining all the liquids, we get 1640 + 1000 = 2640 milliliters, which equals 2.64 liters. Choice A is incorrect because it miscalculates the total liquid volume. Choice C is incorrect as it greatly overestimates the liquid amount. Choice D is incorrect as it also overestimates the liquid content in the pot.

2. Solve for y: 2y + 5 = 25 * 10

• A. y = 25
• B. y = 100
• C. y = 150
• D. y = 200

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To solve the equation 2y + 5 = 25 * 10, start by simplifying the right side: 25 * 10 = 250. Then, subtract 5 from both sides to isolate 2y: 2y = 250 - 5 = 245. Finally, divide by 2 to find the value of y: y = 245 / 2 = 122.5. Therefore, the correct answer is y = 122.5. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not result from the correct calculation steps.

3. Which of the following best describes the relationship in this set of data?

• A. High positive correlation
• B. Low positive correlation
• C. Low negative correlation
• D. No correlation

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Low positive correlation.' In a low positive correlation, the variables tend to increase together, but the relationship is not strong. This description fits the data set provided. Choice A, 'High positive correlation,' is incorrect because the correlation is not strong. Choice C, 'Low negative correlation,' is incorrect as the variables are not decreasing together. Choice D, 'No correlation,' is incorrect because there is a relationship between the variables, albeit weak.

4. Round 8.067 to the nearest tenth.

• A. 8.1
• B. 8.1
• C. 8
• D. 8.11

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To round 8.067 to the nearest tenth, you look at the digit in the hundredth place, which is 6. Since 6 is equal to or greater than 5, you round up the digit in the tenth place. Therefore, 8.067 rounded to the nearest tenth is 8.1. Choice B (8.1) is incorrect as it duplicates the correct answer. Choice C (8) is incorrect as it does not account for the decimal part. Choice D (8.11) is incorrect as it rounds the number to the nearest hundredth, not the nearest tenth.

5. Which statement about multiplication and division is true?

• A. The product of the quotient and the dividend is the divisor.
• B. The product of the dividend and the divisor is the quotient.
• C. The product of the quotient and the divisor is the dividend.
• D. None of the above.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In division, the dividend is the number being divided, the divisor is the number you are dividing by, and the quotient is the result. Multiplying the quotient by the divisor gives the original dividend. This is the reverse of the division operation. Therefore, the correct statement is that the product of the quotient and the divisor equals the dividend, making option C correct. Choices A and B provide incorrect relationships between the terms dividend, divisor, quotient, and product, making them inaccurate. Option D is a general statement that does not provide the correct relationship between multiplication and division terms.
