1. What is the value of 0.0523 expressed as a fraction?

• A. 523/10000
• B. 523/1000
• C. 523/100
• D. 523/10

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a fraction, place the decimal value over the place value of the last digit. In this case, 0.0523 can be expressed as 523/10000 since the last digit is in the ten-thousandths place. Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they represent different decimal values and do not match the correct conversion of 0.0523.

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. Solve the following: 4 x 7 + (25 – 21)²

• A. 512
• B. 36
• C. 44
• D. 22

Correct answer: B

Rationale: First, solve the expression inside the parentheses: 25 − 21 = 4 25−21=4 Then, square the result from the parentheses: 4 2 = 16 4 2 =16 Perform the multiplication: 4 × 7 = 28 4×7=28 Finally, add the results: 28 + 16 = 44 28+16=44

4. Which of the following best describes the data represented by this scatterplot?

• A. This is a linear association with a positive correlation.
• B. This is a linear association with a negative correlation.
• C. This is a nonlinear association.
• D. There is no association.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The scatterplot depicts a clear linear association with a positive correlation between the two variables. Choice B is incorrect as the correlation is positive, not negative. Choice C is incorrect because the scatterplot does not show a nonlinear association. Choice D is incorrect as there is a distinguishable association present in the data.

5. What is a quotient?

• A. The result of dividing two numbers
• B. The result of multiplying two numbers
• C. The number left after subtraction
• D. The number remaining after a division

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A quotient is the result of dividing one number by another. Choice A is correct because it accurately defines a quotient as the outcome of a division operation. Choice B is incorrect because it describes the result of multiplying two numbers, not dividing them. Choice C is incorrect because it refers to the remainder of a subtraction operation, not a division. Choice D is incorrect because it mentions the number remaining after a division, which is typically referred to as the remainder and not the quotient.
