1. Which of the following lists is in order from least to greatest? (1/7), 0.125, (6/9), 0.60

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To determine the order from least to greatest, convert all fractions to decimals and compare them. Converting the fractions: (1/7) ≈ 0.14, (6/9) ≈ 0.67. The decimals in order from least to greatest are: 0.125 < 0.14 < 0.60 < 0.67. Therefore, the correct order is 0.125, (1/7), 0.60, 6/9, making choice C the correct answer. Choice A is incorrect as it lists (1/7) before 0.125. Choice B is incorrect as it places 0.60 before (6/9). Choice D is incorrect as it lists (6/9) before 0.60.

2. Veronica decided to celebrate her promotion by purchasing a new car. The base price for the car was $40,210. She paid an additional $3,015 for a surround sound system and $5,218 for a maintenance package. What was the total price of Veronica's new car?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the total cost of Veronica's new car, you need to sum up all her expenses. So, $40,210 (base price) + $3,015 (surround sound system) + $5,218 (maintenance package) = $48,443. Therefore, the correct answer is $48,443. Choice A ($50,210) is incorrect as it incorrectly adds the base price to the other costs. Choice C ($43,225) is incorrect as it only includes the base price and the maintenance package, omitting the cost of the surround sound system. Choice D ($40,210) is incorrect as it only includes the base price of the car and not the additional costs for the surround sound system and maintenance package.

3. In the winter of 2006, 6 inches of snow fell in Chicago, IL. The following winter, 3 inches of snowfall fell in Chicago. What was the percent decrease in snowfall in Chicago between those two winters?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the percent decrease in snowfall between the two winters, use the formula: Percent Decrease = ((Initial Value - Final Value) / Initial Value) * 100. In this case, the initial value is 6 inches and the final value is 3 inches. Plug these values into the formula: ((6 - 3) / 6) * 100 = (3 / 6) * 100 = 0.5 * 100 = 50%. Therefore, the correct answer is 50%, which is not listed among the choices provided. Among the given choices, the closest percentage is 41.00%, which corresponds to choice C.

4. Solve for x: 3(x - 5) = 2(x + 3)

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the equation 3(x - 5) = 2(x + 3) for x, start by distributing the terms inside the parentheses. This gives you 3x - 15 = 2x + 6. Next, combine like terms by moving all terms with x to one side and the constants to the other side. Subtracting 2x from both sides gives x - 15 = 6. Finally, adding 15 to both sides results in x = 21. Therefore, the correct answer is A: x = 3. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not result from the correct calculations of the equation.

5. How many milligrams are in 5 grams?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1000 since 1 gram is equal to 1000 milligrams. Therefore, 5 grams is equal to 5 * 1000 = 5000 milligrams. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not correctly convert grams to milligrams. Choice A is incorrect as it represents a decrease in value instead of an increase when converting from grams to milligrams. Choice B is incorrect because it is a factor of 10 lower than the correct answer. Choice C is incorrect as it is a factor of 10 lower than the correct answer. Thus, the correct answer is D, 5000 mg.
