  • 2. 

    What is the area of a circle that has a diameter of 10 inches if using 3.14 for pi?

    • A.

      31.4 Square Inches

    • B.

      92.40000000000001

    • C.

      314 Square Inches

    • D.

      78.5 Square Inches

    Correct Answer
    D. 78.5 Square Inches
    Explanation
    The area of a circle can be calculated using the formula A = πr^2, where A is the area and r is the radius. In this case, the diameter is given as 10 inches, so the radius would be half of that, which is 5 inches. Plugging this value into the formula, we get A = 3.14 * 5^2 = 3.14 * 25 = 78.5 square inches.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Which length is shortest?

    • A.

      1 Centimeter

    • B.

      1 Decimeter

    • C.

      1 Millimeter

    • D.

      1 Meter

    Correct Answer
    C. 1 Millimeter
    Explanation
    The shortest length is 1 millimeter. Millimeters are smaller than centimeters, decimeters, and meters.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Which is longest?

    • A.

      1 Decimeter

    • B.

      1 Centimeter

    • C.

      1 Meter

    • D.

      1 Millimeter

    Correct Answer
    C. 1 Meter
    Explanation
    The question is asking for the longest measurement among decimeter, centimeter, meter, and millimeter. The correct answer is 1 meter, as it is the largest unit of length compared to the other options. A decimeter is 1/10th of a meter, a centimeter is 1/100th of a meter, and a millimeter is 1/1000th of a meter. Therefore, 1 meter is the longest measurement among the given options.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    How would you write 26 centimeters in decimeters?

    • A.

      2.6 Decimeters

    • B.

      260 Decimeters

    • C.

      2600 Decimeters

    • D.

      26 Decimeters

    Correct Answer
    A. 2.6 Decimeters
    Explanation
    To convert centimeters to decimeters, we divide the value by 10. Since there are 10 centimeters in 1 decimeter, dividing 26 centimeters by 10 gives us 2.6 decimeters. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.6 decimeters.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    What is the least common denominator for 1/3 and 1/21?

    • A.

      7

    • B.

      63

    • C.

      21

    • D.

      3

    Correct Answer
    C. 21
    Explanation
    The least common denominator is the smallest number that both denominators can evenly divide into. In this case, the denominators are 3 and 21. The number 21 is the least common denominator because both 3 and 21 can evenly divide into it.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    How do you write 18/50 as a percent?

    • A.

      0.18

    • B.

      36%

    • C.

      18%

    • D.

      0.36

    Correct Answer
    B. 36%
    Explanation
    To write 18/50 as a percent, you need to divide the numerator (18) by the denominator (50) and then multiply the result by 100. This can be done as follows: 18/50 = 0.36. Multiplying 0.36 by 100 gives us 36%. Therefore, the correct answer is 36%.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Which is longer?

    • A.

      1 Hectometer

    • B.

      1 Kilometer

    • C.

      1 Dekameter

    • D.

      1 Meter

    Correct Answer
    B. 1 Kilometer
    Explanation
    A kilometer is longer than a hectometer, dekameter, and meter. The prefix "kilo-" denotes a factor of 1000, so a kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. In comparison, a hectometer is equal to 100 meters, a dekameter is equal to 10 meters, and a meter is the base unit of length in the metric system. Therefore, a kilometer is the longest unit of measurement among the options given.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    What is 4 1/10 - 3 3/10?

    • A.

      5-Apr

    • B.

      -1 1/10

    • C.

      1 1/10

    • D.

      1 1/5

    Correct Answer
    A. 5-Apr
    Explanation
    The given question asks for the result of subtracting 3 3/10 from 4 1/10. To solve this, we need to subtract the whole numbers and the fractions separately. Subtracting the whole numbers gives us 1. Next, subtracting the fractions gives us 1/10. Therefore, the result is 1 1/10.

    • D.

      7 to 6

    Correct Answer
    B. 7-Jun
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 7-Jun because the ratio "6 to 7" can also be written as "7-Jun" where 7 is the numerator and Jun is the denominator.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    What is the area of a triangle that has a base of 12 centimeters and a height of 5 centimeters?

    • A.

      17 Square Centimeters

    • B.

      30 Square Centimeters

    • C.

      120 Square Centimeters

    • D.

      60 Square Centimeters

    Correct Answer
    B. 30 Square Centimeters
    Explanation
    The area of a triangle is calculated by multiplying the base by the height and dividing the result by 2. In this case, the base is 12 centimeters and the height is 5 centimeters. Therefore, the area of the triangle is (12 * 5) / 2 = 60 / 2 = 30 square centimeters.

    What is the circumference of a circle that has a diameter of 100 feet if using 3.14 for pi?

    • A.

      314 Feet

    • D.

      31.4 Feet

    Correct Answer
    A. 314 Feet
    Explanation
    The circumference of a circle can be found by multiplying the diameter by pi (π). In this case, the diameter is given as 100 feet and the value of pi is given as 3.14. Therefore, the circumference can be calculated as 100 * 3.14 = 314 feet.

    Rate this question:

    How do you write 40 ounces in ounces and pounds?

    • A.

      2 Lbs 8 Ozs

    • B.
