1. When rounding 245.2678 to the nearest thousandth, which place value would be used to decide whether to round up or round down?
- A. Ten-thousandths
- B. Thousandths
- C. Hundredths
- D. Thousand
Correct answer: A
Rationale: When rounding a number to the nearest thousandth, you look at the digit in the ten-thousandths place to determine whether to round up or down the digit in the thousandths place. In this case, rounding 245.2678 to the nearest thousandth, the digit in the ten-thousandths place is 6, which is greater than or equal to 5, so you would round up the digit in the thousandths place. Therefore, the correct answer is the ten-thousandths place. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not directly influence the rounding of the thousandths place in this scenario.
2. A commuter survey counts the people riding in cars on a highway in the morning. Each car contains only one man, only one woman, or both one man and one woman. Out of 25 cars, 13 contain a woman and 20 contain a man. How many contain both a man and a woman?
- A. 4
- B. 7
- C. 8
- D. 13
Correct answer: C
Rationale: Let's denote the number of cars containing only a man as M, only a woman as W, and both a man and a woman as B. Given that there are 25 cars in total, we have: M + W + B = 25 From the information provided, we know that 13 cars contain a woman (W) and 20 cars contain a man (M). Since each car contains either one man, one woman, or both, the cars that contain both a man and a woman (B) are counted once in each of the M and W categories. Therefore, to find out how many cars contain both a man and a woman, we need to subtract the number of cars that contain only a man and only a woman from the total cars. M + B = 20 (as 20 cars contain a man) W + B = 13 (as 13 cars contain a woman) Solving the above two equations simultaneously, we get: M = 12, W = 5, B = 8 Therefore, 8 cars contain both a man and a woman. Hence, the correct answer is 8. Choice A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the information provided.
3. Which of the following equations does not represent a function?
- A. y = x^2
- B. y = sqrt(x)
- C. x = y^2
- D. y = 2x + 1
Correct answer: C
Rationale: An equation represents a function if each input (x-value) corresponds to exactly one output (y-value). In the equation x = y^2, for a single x-value, there are two possible y-values (positive and negative square root), violating the definition of a function. This violates the vertical line test, where a vertical line intersects the graph in more than one point for non-functions. Choices A, B, and D all pass the vertical line test and represent functions, making them incorrect answers.
4. Express the solution to the following problem in decimal form:
- A. 0.042
- B. 84%
- C. 0.84
- D. 0.42
Correct answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 0.84. To convert a percentage to a decimal, you divide the percentage value by 100. In this case, 84% divided by 100 equals 0.84. Choice A, 0.042, is not the correct conversion of 84%. Choice B, 84%, is already in percentage form and needs to be converted to a decimal. Choice D, 0.42, is not the correct conversion of 84% either. Therefore, the correct decimal form of 84% is 0.84.
5. A mathematics test has a 4:2 ratio of data analysis problems to algebra problems. If the test has 18 algebra problems, how many data analysis problems are on the test?
- A. 24
- B. 28
- C. 36
- D. 38
Correct answer: C
Rationale: The ratio of 4:2 simplifies to 2:1. This means that for every 2 algebra problems, there is 1 data analysis problem. If there are 18 algebra problems, we can set up a proportion: 2 algebra problems correspond to 1 data analysis problem. Therefore, 18 algebra problems correspond to x data analysis problems. Solving the proportion, x = 18 * 1 / 2 = 9. Hence, there are 9 data analysis problems on the test. Therefore, the total number of data analysis problems on the test is 18 (algebra problems) + 9 (data analysis problems) = 27.
