1. Which of the following options correctly orders the numbers below from least to greatest? 235.971, 145.884, -271.906, -193.823

• A. -271.906, -193.823, 145.884, 235.971
• B. -271.906, 235.971, -193.823, 145.884
• C. 145.884, -193.823, 235.971, -271.906
• D. -193.823, -271.906, 145.884, 235.971

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To correctly order the numbers from least to greatest, we start with the smallest number, which is -271.906, followed by -193.823, 145.884, and finally 235.971. Therefore, the correct order is -271.906, -193.823, 145.884, 235.971. Choice A is correct. Choice B is incorrect as it incorrectly places 235.971 before -193.823. Choice C is incorrect as it starts with the largest number, 145.884. Choice D is incorrect as it starts with -193.823, which is not the smallest number in the list.

2. Which of the following numbers has the greatest value?

• A. 1.4378
• B. 1.07548
• C. 1.43592
• D. 0.89409

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine the number with the greatest value among the options, focus on the digit in the tenths place. In this case, 1.07548 has the highest value as it has the digit 7 in the tenths place. Comparing this to the other numbers, 1.4378, 1.43592, and 0.89409 have 4, 3, and 8 in the tenths place, respectively. Therefore, 1.07548 is the number with the greatest value as it has the highest digit in the tenths place.

3. What is the area of a triangle with a base of 10 cm and a height of 7 cm?

• A. 70 cm²
• B. 35 cm²
• C. 140 cm²
• D. 100 cm²

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the area of a triangle, you use the formula A = 1/2 × base × height. Substituting the given values: A = 1/2 × 10 cm × 7 cm = 35 cm². Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (70 cm²) is incorrect as it seems to be the product of the base and height rather than the area formula. Choice C (140 cm²) is incorrect as it appears to be twice the correct answer, possibly a result of a miscalculation. Choice D (100 cm²) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct calculation based on the given base and height values.

4. 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?

• A. $50,210
• B. $48,443
• C. $43,225
• D. $40,210

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the total price of Veronica's new car, add the base price, the cost of the surround sound system, and the cost of the maintenance package. Calculation: $40,210 (base price) + $3,015 (sound system) + $5,218 (maintenance package) = $48,443. Therefore, the correct answer is $48,443. Choice A, $50,210, is incorrect as it does not include the maintenance package cost. Choice C, $43,225, is incorrect as it only considers the base price and the maintenance package but omits the sound system cost. Choice D, $40,210, is the base price alone and does not account for the additional costs of the sound system and maintenance package.

5. Robert scores three new clients every eight months. After how many months has he secured 24 new clients?

• A. 64
• B. 58
• C. 52
• D. 66

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find out the number of months needed to secure 24 new clients, you can set up a proportion: 3 clients / 8 months = 24 clients / x months. Cross multiplying gives you 3x = 24 * 8. Solving for x: 3x = 192, x = 192 / 3, x = 64. Therefore, Robert will secure 24 new clients after 64 months. Choice A is correct. Choice B (58), Choice C (52), and Choice D (66) are incorrect as they do not align with the correct calculation based on the given proportion.
