1. What is the area of a rectangle with a length of 5 cm and a width of 4 cm?

• A. 9 cm²
• B. 20 cm²
• C. 10 cm²
• D. 25 cm²

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply its length by its width. In this case, the length is 5 cm and the width is 4 cm. So, Area = length * width = 5 cm * 4 cm = 20 cm². Therefore, the correct answer is 20 cm². Choice A (9 cm²), Choice C (10 cm²), and Choice D (25 cm²) are incorrect as they do not result from the correct calculation of multiplying the length and width of the rectangle.

2. Which of the following values is the greatest?

• A. 2/11
• B. 5.4
• C. 13/3
• D. 6.25

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To determine the greatest value among the given options, convert the fractions to decimal form. 2/11 is approximately 0.1818, 5.4 is a decimal itself, 13/3 is approximately 4.333, and 6.25 is a decimal. Comparing these values, 6.25 is the largest among them. Therefore, option D, 6.25, is the correct answer. Choices A, B, and C are smaller values compared to 6.25, making them incorrect answers.

3. Arrange the following numbers from least to greatest: 7/3, 9/2, 10/9, 7/8

• A. 10/9, 7/3, 9/2, 7/8
• B. 9/2, 7/3, 10/9, 7/8
• C. 7/3, 9/2, 10/9, 7/8
• D. 7/8, 10/9, 7/3, 9/2

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To arrange the numbers from least to greatest, first convert them to decimals: 1. 7/3 is approximately 2.33 2. 9/2 equals 4.5 3. 10/9 is approximately 1.11 4. 7/8 equals 0.875 Now, arrange the decimals from least to greatest: 0.875 (7/8), 1.11 (10/9), 2.33 (7/3), 4.5 (9/2). Therefore, the correct order is 7/8, 10/9, 7/3, 9/2. Choice A is incorrect because it doesn't follow the correct order. Choice B is incorrect as it places 9/2 before 7/3, which is not the right arrangement. Choice C is incorrect as it places 7/3 before 9/2 and 10/9, which is incorrect. Thus, the correct answer is choice D.

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. If the width of a rectangle is 4 inches (in) and the area of the rectangle is 32 in², what is the length of the rectangle?

• A. 8 in
• B. 28 in
• C. 36 in
• D. 128 in

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the length of the rectangle, we use the formula: Length = Area / Width. Substituting the values given, Length = 32 in² / 4 in = 8 in. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (28 in), Choice C (36 in), and Choice D (128 in) are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the length based on the given width and area of the rectangle.
