15. A map has a scale of 1cm : 24 km.  What is the distance on the map if the actual distance is 108 km?

Explanation

The scale of the map is 1cm : 24 km, which means that 1cm on the map represents 24 km in reality. To find the distance on the map for an actual distance of 108 km, we can set up a proportion: 1cm/24km = x cm/108km. Cross-multiplying and solving for x, we get x = (1cm * 108km) / 24km = 4.5 cm. Therefore, the distance on the map for an actual distance of 108 km is 4.5 cm.

16. What is the midpoint between the points (35, -12) and (-41, 18)?  Use the midpoint formula: «math xmlns=¨https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML¨»«mfenced»«mrow»«mfrac»«mrow»«msub»«mi»x«/mi»«mn»1«/mn»«/msub»«mo»+«/mo»«msub»«mi»x«/mi»«mn»2«/mn»«/msub»«/mrow»«mn»2«/mn»«/mfrac»«mo»,«/mo»«mfrac»«mrow»«msub»«mi»y«/mi»«mn»1«/mn»«/msub»«mo»+«/mo»«msub»«mi»y«/mi»«mn»2«/mn»«/msub»«/mrow»«mn»2«/mn»«/mfrac»«/mrow»«/mfenced»«/math»

Explanation

The midpoint formula states that the coordinates of the midpoint between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates. Applying this formula to the given points (35, -12) and (-41, 18), we find that the average of the x-coordinates is (35 + (-41))/2 = -3 and the average of the y-coordinates is (-12 + 18)/2 = 3. Therefore, the midpoint between the two points is (-3, 3).

Explanation

To add the fractions 0.575, we need to convert the decimal to a fraction. The decimal 0.575 can be written as 575/1000. To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 25. Dividing 575 by 25 gives us 23, and dividing 1000 by 25 gives us 40. Therefore, the fraction in lowest terms is 23/40.

19. To find the distance across the river (without getting wet) you decide to walk at a right angle, measure this distance, and measure a 45 degree angle back to the point across the river using a compass.  What is the distance across the river?

Explanation

To find the distance across the river without getting wet, the person decides to walk at a right angle and measure this distance. This means that they walk perpendicular to the river's bank. Then, they measure a 45-degree angle back to the point across the river using a compass. The fact that they measure a 45-degree angle suggests that they have formed a right triangle with the river being the hypotenuse. In a right triangle, the length of the hypotenuse (the distance across the river) is equal to the length of one of the legs (the perpendicular distance walked). Therefore, the distance across the river is 122 feet.

Submit
20. During practice, you scored 8 goals out of 20 shots.  Using experimental probability, how many goals would you score out of 50 shots?

Explanation

Based on the given information, the experimental probability of scoring a goal is 8/20 or 0.4. To find out how many goals would be scored out of 50 shots, we can multiply the experimental probability by the number of shots. Therefore, 0.4 * 50 = 20 goals.

29. In 1985, the circulation of a local newspaper was 4880.  In 1986, its circulation was 1470.  Find the percent of change in the newspaper's circulation.  Is this an increase, or decrease?

Explanation

The percent of change in the newspaper's circulation can be calculated by finding the difference between the initial circulation (4880) and the final circulation (1470), dividing it by the initial circulation, and then multiplying by 100.

The calculation would be: ((4880 - 1470) / 4880) * 100 = 69.9%

Since the percent of change is negative, it indicates a decrease in circulation. Therefore, the correct answer is 69.9% decrease.

Submit
30. Price shopping!!  You are purchasing a ham for dinner.  One ham weighs 16 lbs and is $14.24.  The other ham weighs 19 lbs. and is $15.96.  Which is the better purchase?

Explanation

The 19 pound ham is the better purchase because it is only slightly more expensive than the 16 pound ham, but you are getting 3 pounds more meat. Therefore, you are getting more value for your money by choosing the 19 pound ham.

Submit
31. What is the distance between the points (-5,4) and (1,0)?  Measurements are made in feet.  Use the distance formula:  «math xmlns=¨https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML¨»«mi»d«/mi»«mo»=«/mo»«msqrt»«mrow»«msup»«mfenced»«mrow»«msub»«mi»x«/mi»«mn»2«/mn»«/msub»«mo»-«/mo»«msub»«mi»x«/mi»«mn»1«/mn»«/msub»«/mrow»«/mfenced»«mn»2«/mn»«/msup»«mo»+«/mo»«msup»«mfenced»«mrow»«msub»«mi»y«/mi»«mn»2«/mn»«/msub»«mo»-«/mo»«msub»«mi»y«/mi»«mn»1«/mn»«/msub»«/mrow»«/mfenced»«mn»2«/mn»«/msup»«/mrow»«/msqrt»«/math»

Explanation

The distance between two points can be found using the distance formula, which is derived from the Pythagorean theorem. The formula is: distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2). In this case, the coordinates of the two points are (-5,4) and (1,0). Plugging these values into the formula, we get: distance = √((1 - (-5))^2 + (0 - 4)^2) = √((6)^2 + (-4)^2) = √(36 + 16) = √52 = 7.21 feet. Therefore, the correct answer is 7.21 feet.

Submit
32. A company made $3640 last month.  About 12.5% of this amount was made through catalog sales.  How much did the company make in catalog sales?

Explanation

The company made $3640 last month, and 12.5% of this amount was made through catalog sales. To find out how much the company made in catalog sales, we can multiply $3640 by 12.5% (or 0.125). This calculation gives us $455, which is the correct answer.

Submit
33. A telephone pole breaks as shown in the photo below. 

Explanation

Based on the photo, it can be observed that the telephone pole is broken into two sections. By measuring the longer section, it can be determined that it is approximately 18 feet in length. Therefore, the correct answer is 18 feet.

Submit
34. Which triangle with the given side lenghts is NOT a right triangle?

Explanation

The triangle with side lengths 9, 16, 25 is not a right triangle because it does not satisfy the Pythagorean theorem. According to the theorem, in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. However, in this case, 9^2 + 16^2 is not equal to 25^2, so it is not a right triangle.

Submit
35. Write 0.375 as a simplified fraction. 

Explanation

To write 0.375 as a simplified fraction, we can first note that the decimal is already in the thousandths place. Therefore, we can write 0.375 as 375/1000. To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 125. By doing so, we get 375/1000 = 3/8. Therefore, the simplified fraction for 0.375 is 3/8.

Submit
36. Use SOH - CAH - TOA to find the length of the missing side "x" in the triangle below. 

Explanation

The given question asks to use the SOH-CAH-TOA trigonometric ratios to find the length of the missing side "x" in the triangle. Without the specific values or measurements provided in the question, it is not possible to determine the exact length of the missing side. However, based on the given options, the closest approximation is "About 23 inches".

Submit
37. Which situation represents the smallest percent decrease?

Explanation

Going from 187 to 153 represents the smallest percent decrease because the difference between the two numbers is 34, which is smaller than the differences in the other options. To find the percent decrease, we divide the difference by the original number and multiply by 100. In this case, the percent decrease is (34/187) * 100 ≈ 18.18%. The other options have larger differences and therefore larger percent decreases.

Submit
38. Which number is irrational?

Explanation

The number 3.14159 is irrational because it is a decimal that continues indefinitely without repeating. It is the decimal representation of the mathematical constant pi, which is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction or a ratio of two integers, and their decimal representations neither terminate nor repeat. The number 0.555555... is rational because it can be expressed as the fraction 5/9, which is a ratio of two integers.
