1. Two even integers and one odd integer are multiplied together. Which of the following could be their product?

• A. 3.75
• B. 9
• C. 16.2
• D. 24

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When multiplying two even integers and one odd integer, the product will always be even. This is because multiplying any number of even integers will always result in an even number. Therefore, the only possible product from the given options is 24, as it is the only even number listed. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they are all odd numbers, and the product of two even integers and one odd integer will never result in an odd number.

2. When is a histogram preferred over a bar graph?

• A. Comparison between categories
• B. Frequency
• C. Percentages
• D. Proportions

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Histograms are specifically designed to display the frequency distribution of continuous data, showing the distribution of values over intervals or bins. On the other hand, bar graphs are used to compare different categories or discrete data points. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because histograms are not primarily used for comparing categories, percentages, or proportions, but rather for visualizing the distribution of frequencies within data intervals.

3. A circle has an area of 121π in². Which of the following is the circumference of the circle in terms of pi (π)?

• A. 11π in
• B. 22π in
• C. 44π in
• D. 5.5π in

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the circumference of the circle, we first need to determine the radius. Given that the area of the circle is 121π in², we use the formula for the area of a circle (A = πr²) to find the radius squared. So, r² = 121, which means the radius (r) is 11 in. The circumference of a circle is calculated using the formula 2πr. Substituting the radius value of 11 in, we get 2π(11) = 22π in. Therefore, the correct answer is 22π in. Choice A (11π in), Choice C (44π in), and Choice D (5.5π in) are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the circumference based on the given area of the circle.

4. Round to the nearest tenth: 8.067.

• A. 8.07
• B. 8.1
• C. 8
• D. 8.11

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When rounding a number to the nearest tenth, you look at the digit in the hundredths place. Since 8.067 has a 6 in the hundredths place, which is equal to or greater than 5, you round the tenths place up by 1. Therefore, rounding 8.067 to the nearest tenth gives 8.07. Choice B (8.1) would be incorrect because 8.067 is closer to 8.1 than to 8, but it's not quite there. Choice C (8) is incorrect as it would be rounding down, and Choice D (8.11) is incorrect as it is rounding to the nearest hundredth, not the nearest tenth.

5. How many millimeters are in a meter?

• A. 100 mm
• B. 1,000 mm
• C. 10,000 mm
• D. 100,000 mm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 1,000 mm. This is because there are 1,000 millimeters in a meter. To convert from meters to millimeters, you need to multiply by 1,000. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. A meter is equivalent to 1,000 millimeters, not 100 (A), 10,000 (C), or 100,000 (D) millimeters.
