    • C.

      4 cups

    • D.

      8 cups

    Correct Answer
    A. 6 cups
    Explanation
    The ratio of cups of peanuts to chocolate candies in trail mix is 3 to 2. This means that for every 3 cups of peanuts, there are 2 cups of chocolate candies. To find out how many cups of chocolate candies would be needed for 9 cups of peanuts, we can set up a proportion. If 3 cups of peanuts require 2 cups of chocolate candies, then 9 cups of peanuts would require x cups of chocolate candies. Solving the proportion, we find that x = (9 * 2) / 3 = 6. Therefore, 6 cups of chocolate candies would be needed for 9 cups of peanuts.

    For birthday parties, the skating rink charges $100 to reserve the rink and then $5 per person. Write an expression to represent the cost for any number of people.

    • A.

      100 – 5n

    • B.

      100 + 5n

    • C.

      5(n + 100)

    • D.

      5(n – 100)

    Correct Answer
    B. 100 + 5n
    Explanation
    The expression 100 + 5n represents the cost for any number of people at the skating rink for a birthday party. The $100 is the cost to reserve the rink and the $5 per person is added for each person attending the party. By multiplying the number of people (n) by 5 and adding it to the $100 reservation fee, we can calculate the total cost for any number of people.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    The seventh grade class is going on a trip to the state fair. The trip costs $52. Included in that price is $11 for a concert ticket and the cost of two passes, one for rides and one for game booths. Each of the passes cost the same price. Write an equation representing the cost of the trip and determine the price of one pass.

    • A.

      2x – 11 = 52; $31.50

    • B.

      3x = 52; $17.33

    • C.

      2x = 52; $26

    • D.

      52 = 11 + 2x; $20.50

    Correct Answer
    D. 52 = 11 + 2x; $20.50
    Explanation
    The equation 52 = 11 + 2x represents the cost of the trip. The left side of the equation represents the total cost of the trip, which is $52. The right side of the equation represents the sum of $11 for the concert ticket and the cost of two passes, which are both represented by 2x. By subtracting 11 from both sides of the equation, we can isolate the variable 2x. Therefore, the price of one pass is $20.50.

    In the picture of the three triangles, two are similar. Which statement below is true?

    Correct Answer
    C.
  • 14. 

    A rectangle has vertices P(1, 0), Q(6, 0), R(6, 6), and S(1, 6).What is the area of rectangle PQRS?

    Correct Answer
    C.
    Explanation
    To find the area of a rectangle, we can use the formula: Area = length × width. In this case, the length of the rectangle is the distance between points P(1, 0) and Q(6, 0), which is 6 - 1 = 5 units. The width of the rectangle is the distance between points P(1, 0) and S(1, 6), which is 6 units. Therefore, the area of rectangle PQRS is 5 × 6 = 30 square units.

    Determine the surface area of rectangular prism with height 5 inches, width 7 inches, and length 12 inches.

    Correct Answer
    B.
    Explanation
    To determine the surface area of a rectangular prism, we need to find the area of each face and then add them together. The rectangular prism has 6 faces, with each face having a length and width. The top and bottom faces have dimensions of 12 inches by 7 inches, giving an area of 84 square inches each. The front and back faces have dimensions of 12 inches by 5 inches, giving an area of 60 square inches each. The left and right faces have dimensions of 7 inches by 5 inches, giving an area of 35 square inches each. Adding all the areas together, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 84 + 84 + 60 + 60 + 35 + 35 = 358 square inches.

    If a rectangle, measuring 2 in. by 7 in., is enlarged by using a scale factor of 2, what will the area be of the new rectangle? 

    • A.

      56 

    • B.

      28 

    • C.

      14 

    • D.

      98 

    Correct Answer
    A. 56 
    Explanation
    When a rectangle is enlarged using a scale factor of 2, all of its dimensions are multiplied by 2. In this case, the length of the rectangle is 2 inches and the width is 7 inches. When we multiply both of these dimensions by 2, we get a new rectangle with a length of 4 inches and a width of 14 inches. To find the area of this new rectangle, we multiply the length by the width: 4 inches * 14 inches = 56 square inches. Therefore, the area of the new rectangle is 56.

    Solve the following inequality. -0.5- 5  -1.5

    • A.

      X   -7

    • B.

      X   7

    • C.

      X   7

    • D.

      X   -7

    Correct Answer
    D. X   -7
    Explanation
    The given inequality is -0.5x - 5 ≤ -1.5. To solve this inequality, we need to isolate the variable x. We can do this by adding 5 to both sides of the inequality, which gives -0.5x ≤ -1.5 + 5. Simplifying further, we get -0.5x ≤ 3.5. To isolate x, we divide both sides of the inequality by -0.5. However, when dividing by a negative number, the direction of the inequality changes. Therefore, we have x ≥ -7. So, the correct answer is x ≥ -7.

    The Irrational Club wants to build a tree house. They have a 13-foot ladder that must be propped diagonally against the tree. If the base of the ladder is 5 feet from the bottom of the tree, how high will the tree house be off the ground?

    • A.

      12 feet

    • B.

      144 feet

    • C.

      169 feet

    • D.

      14 feet

    Correct Answer
    A. 12 feet
    Explanation
    The ladder forms a right triangle with the ground and the height of the tree house. Using the Pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2), where a is the height of the tree house, b is the distance from the base of the ladder to the bottom of the tree, and c is the length of the ladder, we can solve for a. Plugging in the given values, we have a^2 + 5^2 = 13^2. Simplifying, we get a^2 + 25 = 169. Subtracting 25 from both sides, we have a^2 = 144. Taking the square root of both sides, we get a = 12. Therefore, the tree house will be 12 feet off the ground.

    Write the equation of a line, in slope-intercept form, passing through the points (6, 2) and (3, 0).

    Correct Answer
    A.
    Explanation
    The slope-intercept form of a line is given by y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. To find the slope, we can use the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Substituting the values of the given points, we get m = (0 - 2) / (3 - 6) = -2 / -3 = 2/3. Now, we can substitute the slope and one of the points into the equation to find the y-intercept. Using the point (6, 2), we get 2 = (2/3)(6) + b. Solving for b, we find b = 2 - 4 = -2. Therefore, the equation of the line is y = (2/3)x - 2.

    Rate this question:

  • 35. 

    Which is the graph of the function y = 4x – 1?

    Correct Answer
    C.
    Explanation
    The graph of the function y = 4x - 1 is a straight line with a slope of 4 and a y-intercept of -1. The slope of 4 means that for every increase of 1 in the x-coordinate, the y-coordinate increases by 4. The y-intercept of -1 means that the line crosses the y-axis at the point (0, -1). Therefore, the correct answer is the graph that represents a straight line with a slope of 4 and a y-intercept of -1.

    Jamal needs to purchase a counter top for his kitchen. Jamal measured the counter top as 5 feet in length. The actual length is 4.5 feet. What is Jamal’s percent error?

    • A.

      90%

    • B.

      11%

    • C.

      5%

    • D.

      10%

    Correct Answer
    B. 11%
    Explanation
    The percent error is calculated by taking the absolute difference between the measured and actual values, dividing it by the actual value, and then multiplying by 100. In this case, the absolute difference between the measured and actual length is 0.5 feet. Dividing this by the actual length of 4.5 feet gives a fraction of 1/9. Multiplying this fraction by 100 gives a percent error of approximately 11%.
