1. Which of the following is the greatest value?

• A. 43 ÷ 55
• B. 7 ÷ 5
• C. 0.729
• D. 73%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine the greatest value among the choices, you need to convert all options to a common format. In this case, converting fractions to decimals will help compare them. When 7 ÷ 5 is calculated, it equals 1.4, which is greater than 0.729 (choice C) and 0.78 (choice A when rounded). The percentage 73% (choice D) is equivalent to 0.73, making 7 ÷ 5 the largest value. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A is smaller than B, as 43 ÷ 55 equals approximately 0.78. Choice C is smaller than B, as 0.729 is less than 1.4. Choice D is smaller than B, as 73% is equal to 0.73, which is less than 1.4.

2. 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.

3. If , then

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If \(2x = 6\), then solving for \(x\), we have \(x = \frac{6}{2} = 3\). So, if \(x = 3\), then \(x+1 = 3+1 = 4\). Therefore, the value of \(x+1\) would be 4.

4. How many quarts are in 1 liter?

• A. 1 quart
• B. 1.06 quarts
• C. 2 quarts
• D. 0.5 quarts

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert liters to quarts, you can use the conversion factor 1 liter ≈ 1.06 quarts. Therefore, 1 liter is approximately 1.06 quarts. Choice A is incorrect because 1 quart is not equivalent to 1 liter. Choice C is incorrect as 2 quarts is more than 1 liter. Choice D is incorrect as 0.5 quarts is half of 1 liter.

5. Given the histograms shown below, which of the following statements is true?

• A. Group A is negatively skewed and has a mean less than Group B.
• B. Group A is positively skewed and has a mean greater than Group B.
• C. Group B is negatively skewed and has a mean greater than Group A.
• D. Group B is positively skewed and has a mean less than Group A.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. Group B is negatively skewed, indicating more high scores, leading to a higher mean for Group B when compared to Group A. Choice A is incorrect because Group A is not negatively skewed and doesn't have a mean less than Group B. Choice B is incorrect as Group A is not positively skewed and its mean is not greater than Group B. Choice D is also incorrect because Group B having a mean less than Group A contradicts the fact that Group B has a higher mean due to being negatively skewed.
