1. Which of the following describes a proportional relationship?
- A. Johnathan opens a savings account with an initial deposit of $150 and deposits $125 per month
- B. Bruce pays his employees $12 per hour worked during the month of December, as well as a $250 bonus
- C. Alvin pays $28 per month for his phone service plus $0.07 for each long-distance minute used
- D. Kevin drives 65 miles per hour
Correct answer: A
Rationale: A proportional relationship is one in which two quantities vary directly with each other. In choice A, the amount deposited per month is directly proportional to the initial deposit. The relationship can be represented as y = 125x + 150, where x is the number of months and y is the total amount in the account. Choices B and C involve additional fixed amounts or variable costs that do not maintain a constant ratio, making them non-proportional relationships. Choice D refers to a constant speed of driving, which is not a proportional relationship as it does not involve varying quantities that change in direct proportion.
2. A rectangular field has an area of 1452 square feet. If the length is three times the width, what is the width of the field?
- A. 22 feet
- B. 44 feet
- C. 242 feet
- D. 1452 feet
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To find the width of the rectangular field, use the formula for the area of a rectangle: A = length × width. Given that the length is three times the width, you have A = 3w × w. Substituting the given area, 1452 = 3w^2. Solving for w, you get 484 = w^2. Taking the square root gives ±22, but since the width must be positive, the width of the field is 22 feet. Choice B, 44 feet, is incorrect because it represents the length, not the width. Choice C, 242 feet, is incorrect as it is not a factor of the area. Choice D, 1452 feet, is incorrect as it represents the total area of the field, not the width.
3. A circular swimming pool has a circumference of 49 feet. What is the diameter of the pool?
- A. 15.6 feet
- B. 17.8 feet
- C. 49 feet
- D. 153.9 feet
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The formula for the circumference of a circle is C = πd, where C is the circumference and d is the diameter. Given C = 49 feet, we can rearrange the formula to solve for d: 49 feet = πd. To find the diameter, we divide both sides by π, giving us d = 49 feet / π ≈ 15.6 feet. Therefore, the diameter of the swimming pool is approximately 15.6 feet. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the calculation based on the formula for the circumference of a circle.
4. Simplify the following expression: (2/7) ÷ (5/6)
- A. 2/5
- B. 35/15
- C. 5/21
- D. 12/35
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. In this case, (2/7) ÷ (5/6) becomes (2/7) × (6/5) = 12/35. Therefore, the correct answer is 12/35. Choice A (2/5), choice B (35/15), and choice C (5/21) are incorrect because they do not correctly simplify the given expression.
5. The number of vacuum cleaners sold by a company per month during Year 1 is listed below: 18, 42, 29, 40, 24, 17, 29, 44, 19, 33, 46, 39. Which of the following is true?
- A. The mean is less than the median
- B. The mode is greater than the median
- C. The mode is less than the mean, median, and range
- D. The mode is equal to the range
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The mean number of vacuum cleaners sold per month is 31.7, the mode is 29, the median is 31, and the range is 29. The mode being equal to the range is the correct statement. Option A is incorrect because the mean (31.7) is greater than the median (31). Option B is incorrect as the mode (29) is not greater than the median (31). Option C is incorrect since the mode (29) is not less than the mean, median, or range.
