A painter used 1 1/2 cans of paint to paint 2/3 of a room. At this rate, how much more paint does the painter need to paint the remainder of the room? A. 1/3 can B. 1/2 can C. 3/4 can D. 1 can
Answer is C. Option (C) is correct. The question requires an understanding of how to use proportional relationships to solve ratio and percent problems. Since the painter has already painted 2/3 of the room, the painter still needs to paint 1 - 2/3, or 1/3 of the room. To determine the amount of paint x needed to paint the rest of the room, one can set up the proportion 1 1/2: 2/3 = x: 1/3, which yields the equation 2/3x = (1 1/2) x 1/3. Simplifying the right side of the equation yields 2/3x =1/2. Therefore, x=3/2x1/2; that is, x=3/4.

Using the multiplication property of inequality and taking into account the sign, 5x ≤ 4 is equivalent to (− ) (−5x) ≥ (− ) (4) . Simplifying yieldsx ≥ − 4/5.
0.7 is 1/1,000 of what number? A. 0.0007 B. 0.007 C. 70 D. 700
Answer is D. Option (D) is correct. The question requires an understanding of place value by recognizing that a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right and one-tenth of what it represents in the place to its left and the ability to extend this concept several places to the right or left. If 0.7 is 1/1,000 of a number n, then 0.7 = 1/1,000 n. Therefore, n=0.7 x 1,000. Working backward, one can also observe that the decimal point moves three places to the left when finding one-thousandth of a number.
Which word describes each angle in an equilateral triangle? A. Acute B. Obtuse C. Right D. Straight

An equilateral triangle is also equiangular; that is, all its angles have the same measure. Therefore, each angle has a measure of 180/3, or 60 degrees. An acute angle is an angle that measures less than 90 degrees. Therefore, the angles of an equilateral triangle are all acute.
3 less than 4 times the sum of the number x and 15 Which of the following expressions best represents the verbal phrase shown? A. 4x + 15 − 3 B. 3 − 4x + 15 C. 4(x + 15) −3 D. 3 − 4(x + 15)
Answer is C. Option (C) is correct. The question requires an understanding of how to translate between verbal statements and algebraic expressions or equations. The product of a number and a sum requires parentheses around the sum. Therefore, "4 times the sum of the number x and 15" can be represented by the expression 4 (x + 15). "Less than" can be translated as subtraction, where what comes before "less than" is taken away from what comes after it. Therefore, the verbal phrase can be represented by the expression 4(x + 15) − 3.

A certain polygon has the following attributes. I. There are 2 pairs of parallel sides. II. It is a quadrilateral. III. One pair of parallel sides has length 2, and the other pair of parallel sides has length 4. Which of the following types of polygons has all of the attributes listed? A. Parallelogram B. Rhombus C. Triangle D. Square
Answer is A. Option (A) is correct. The question requires an understanding of how to use attributes to classify or draw polygons and solids. A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. A rhombus is a parallelogram with all sides of the same length. A square is a rhombus with at least one right angle. For attributes 1 and 2, the polygon is not a triangle. For attribute 3, the polygon is neither a rhombus nor a square. Therefore, the polygon must be a parallelogram.
Three figures are shown. From left to right the figures are labeled, first figure, second figure, and third figure. The pattern of the first figure is a triangle connected to a square, which is connected to a triangle. The figure is composed of 8 line segments. The pattern of the second figure is a triangle connected to a square, which is connected to a square, which is connected to a triangle. The figure is composed of 11 line segments. The pattern of the third figure is a triangle connected to a square, which is connected to a square, which is connected to a square, which is connected to a triangle, all connected together. The figure is composed of 14 line segments. The first three figures in a pattern are shown. The 1st figure is composed of two triangles and one square. Each figure after the 1st figure is composed of two triangles and one square more than the preceding figure. How many line segments are in the 10th figure of the pattern? A. 35 B. 38 C. 41 D. 44
Answer is A. Option (A) is correct. The question requires an understanding of how to identify and extend a pattern. The first figure has 8 line segments. Adding a square to each figure is equivalent to adding 3 line segments. So the number of line segments of the nth figure can be described by the equation f(n) = 5 + 3n , with n = 1, 2, 3, ... Therefore the 10th figure of the pattern has f(n) = 5 + 3 × 10, or 35 line segments.
Two friends went out for lunch and decided to share the dessert. One of them ate 1/2 of the dessert, and the other ate 1/3 of the remaining part. What fraction of the dessert was left over? A. 1/6 B. 1/3 C. 2/3 D. 5/6
Answer is B. Option (B) is correct. The question requires an understanding of how to solve multistep mathematical and real-world problems. The first friend ate 1/2 of the dessert, while the second friend ate 1/3 of the remaining part; that is, 1/3(1 - 1/2) , or 1/6. Altogether they ate 1/2 + 1/6 = 4/6, or 2/3 of the dessert. Therefore, the fraction left over is 1 - 2/3 , or 1/3 of the dessert.
A unit square is partitioned into identical parts having equal areas. One of the parts is removed from the square, and a shape is formed by the parts that remain after the removal. For which of the following areas of the removed part will the shape that is formed have the greatest area? A. 1/4 B. 1/5 C. 1/6 D. 1/7
Answer is D. Option (D) is correct. The question requires an understanding of how to recognize concepts of rational numbers and their operations. If the unit square is partitioned in n parts having equal area, the area of each part is 1/n. Therefore the area of the shape that is formed when removing one of the identical parts is 1 - 1/n. The smaller is the area of the removed part, the greater is the area of the shape that is left. Since 1/7 is the smallest of the four fractions listed, the shape that has the greatest area is the one that is left by removing a part with area 1/7.
Membership Length, Cost in in months dollars 1 75 3 125 6 200 12 350 24 650 The table shows the cost of a membership to Gym B for the five possible membership lengths. Gym A has the same possible membership lengths, and the cost, y, in dollars, of a membership to Gym A for x months is given by the equation 2y−50x=85. Which of the following is true about the cost, in dollars, of a membership to Gym A compared with the cost of a membership to Gym B? A. The cost of a membership to Gym B is greater than the cost of a membership to Gym A for membership lengths of 6 months or less but is greater for membership lengths of greater than 6 months. B. The cost of a membership to Gym A includes the same initial membership fee as the cost of a membership to Gym B but a greater monthly fee. C. The cost of a membership to Gym A includes a greater initial membership fee than the cost of a membership to Gym B but a lower monthly fee. D. The cost of a membership to Gym B is greater than the cost of a membership to Gym A for any number of months.
Answer is D. Option (D) is correct. The question requires an understanding of how to use linear relationships represented by equations, tables, and graphs to solve problems. The table describes the costs of varying lengths of membership to Gym B and can be represented by the linear equation y = 25x + 50, where y is the cost of a membership lasting x months. The equation that describes the cost y of a membership to Gym A lasting for x months can be rewritten as y = 25x + 42.50 . The monthly fees, represented by the slopes of the two linear equations, are equal for the two memberships. However, the y-intercept of the equation representing Gym B is greater than the y-intercept of the line representing Gym A. This can be interpreted to mean that the initial fee for Gym B is greater than the initial fee for Gym A. Since the monthly memberships are the same but Gym B has a greater initial fee, the membership cost for Gym B is always more expensive than the membership cost for Gym A for any number of months.

Answer is B. Option (B) is correct. The question requires an understanding of how to identify relationships between the corresponding terms of two numerical patterns. To find out which function could be represented by the table, one must substitute the values of x given in the table and verify which function gives the correspond-ing values of y. The function in (B) could be represented by the table because 1^2=1, 2^2 = 4, 3^2 = 9, and 4^2 = 16. The functions in (A) and (C) could not be represented by the table because for x=1, each yields y=2. The function in (D) could not be represented by the table because for x=2, it yields y=6.
90, 90, 95, 90, 85, 90 Caleb's scores for the first 6 quizzes in his algebra class are shown above. If he receives a score of 95 on the 7th quiz, which of the following statements will be true? A. The average (arithmetic mean) of the 7 quiz scores is less than the average of the first 6 quiz scores. B. The mode of the 7 quiz scores is greater than the mode of the first 6 quiz scores. C. The median of the 7 quiz scores is equal to the median of the first 6 quiz scores. D. The range of the 7 quiz scores is greater than the range of the first 6 quiz scores.
Answer is C. Option (C) is correct. The question requires an understanding of how to determine how changes in data affect measures of center or range. Placing the first 6 quiz scores in order gives 85, 90, 90, 90, 90, and 95. Since the two middle numbers are both 90, it is easy to see that the median is 90. The mode and the mean are also 90, and the range is 10. After adding 95 to the list, the median remains 90, the mode remains 90, and the range remains 10. Only the mean is affected by adding 95 to the list. Since 95 is greater than 90, that is, the mean of the first 6 quiz scores, the mean of the 7 quiz scores is greater than the mean of the first 6 quiz scores. Therefore, of the given statements, the only true statement is that the two medians are equal.
The figure presents two squares. The first square is labeled Figure 1 and is smaller than the second square, which is labeled Figure 2. The figures shown are squares. Each side in Figure 1 has length 7, and Figure 2 has side lengths that are double those in Figure 1. How do the perimeter and area of Figure 1 compare with the perimeter and area of Figure 2 ? A. The perimeter and area of Figure 2 are double the perimeter and area of Figure 1. B. The perimeter and area of Figure 2 are four times the perimeter and area of Figure 1. C. The perimeter of Figure 2 is double the perimeter of Figure 1, and the area of Figure 2 is four times the area of Figure 1. D. The perimeter of Figure 2 is four times the perimeter of Figure 1, and the area of Figure 2 is eight times the area of Figure 1.
Answer is C. Option (C) is correct. The question requires an understanding of how changes to dimensions change area and volume. If the dimensions of a figure double, the ratio of corresponding sides will be 1:2. This same ratio will apply to the perimeter. In the figures shown, the perimeter of the smaller square is 28, and the perimeter of the larger square is 56. This results in a ratio of 28:56, which can be simplified to 1:2. The ratio of the areas of the squares with a side ratio of 1:2 will be 1^2: 2^2, or 1:4. The area of the smaller square is 49, and the area of the larger square is 196. This results in a ratio of 49:196,which can be simplified to 1:4. Thus the perimeter is doubled, and the area is quadrupled.
The figure presents a graph of two boxplots. The horizontal axis is labeled "Annual Income, in thousands of dollars," and the numbers 0 through 140, in increments of 20, are indicated. The vertical axis is labeled "Profession," and the following two categories are indicated from top to bottom; Nuclear Engineer, Police Officer. The data for each category are as follows. Note that all values are approximate. Nuclear Engineer. The whiskers range from $50,000 to $60,000, and from $94,000 to $119,000. The box ranges from $60,000 to $94,000, with an interior vertical line segment at $70,000. Police Officer. The whiskers range from $12,000 to $21,000, and from $42,000 to $60,000. The box ranges from $21,000 to $42,000, with an interior vertical line segment at $30,000. The boxplots shown compare the incomes of two professions. Based on the boxplots, which of the following statements is true? A. All nuclear engineers earn more than all police officers. B. Exactly 50% of nuclear engineers earn more than all police officers. C. The range of incomes for nuclear engineers is the same as that for police officers. D. The median income for nuclear engineers is greater than the maximum income for police officers.
Answer is D. Option (D) is correct. The question requires an understanding of how to interpret various displays of data. The top boxplot shows that the annual income of a nuclear engineer ranges from a minimum of approximately $50,000 to a maximum of approximately $120,000, with a median annual income of approximately $70,000. The bottom boxplot shows that the annual income of a police officer ranges from a minimum of approximately $15,000 to a maximum of approximately $60,000, with a median annual income of approximately $50,000. Therefore, the median income for nuclear engineers is greater than the maximum income for police officers.
Drag each net onto the most specific corresponding name for its three-dimensional figure. Cube - Triangular pyramid - Triangular prism - Rectangular prism -
Correct Answer: C, D, A, B The net order third, fourth, first, and second is correct. The question requires an understand-ing of how to represent three-dimensional figures with nets. The net of a cube is made of 6 squares, so it must be the third net in the row. The net of a triangular pyramid is made of 4 triangles, so it must be the fourth net in the row. The net of a triangular prism is made of 2 triangles and 3 rectangles, so it must be the first net in the row. The net of a rectangular prism is made of either 6 rectangles or 4 rectangles and 2 squares, so it must be the second net in the row.
