Which of the following has a unit rate of 17 miles per hour?
Correct Answer
B. 85 miles in 5 hours
Explanation
The unit rate of 17 miles per hour means that for every hour, the object is traveling 17 miles. To determine which option has a unit rate of 17 miles per hour, we need to calculate the rate for each option. For 60 miles in 2 hours, the rate is 60/2 = 30 miles per hour. For 85 miles in 5 hours, the rate is 85/5 = 17 miles per hour. For 90 miles in 10 hours, the rate is 90/10 = 9 miles per hour. Finally, for 120 miles in 15 hours, the rate is 120/15 = 8 miles per hour. Therefore, the option with a unit rate of 17 miles per hour is 85 miles in 5 hours.

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 prism has 6 faces: 2 bases and 4 lateral faces. The area of each base is equal to the length multiplied by the width, so in this case, it would be 12 inches multiplied by 7 inches. The area of each lateral face is equal to the height multiplied by the width, so it would be 5 inches multiplied by 7 inches. Adding the areas of all the faces together gives us the total surface area of the rectangular prism.

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?
Correct Answer
A. 56
Explanation
When a rectangle is enlarged by a scale factor of 2, both the length and width of the rectangle are multiplied by 2. In this case, the original rectangle measures 2 in. by 7 in. When we multiply both the length and width by 2, we get a new rectangle that measures 4 in. by 14 in. The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length by the width. Therefore, the area of the new rectangle is 4 in. multiplied by 14 in. which equals 56.

Solve the following inequality. -0.5x - 5 -1.5
Correct Answer
D. X -7
Explanation
The given inequality is -0.5x - 5 ≤ -1.5. To solve this inequality, we can add 5 to both sides of the inequality to isolate the variable. This gives us -0.5x ≤ -1.5 + 5, which simplifies to -0.5x ≤ 3.5. Now, we can divide both sides of the inequality by -0.5, remembering to reverse the inequality sign since we are dividing by a negative number. This gives us x ≥ -7. Therefore, 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?
Correct Answer
A. 12 feet
Explanation
The height of the tree house can be determined using the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the ladder) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In this case, the ladder is the hypotenuse, and the base of the ladder is one side of the triangle. The other side represents the height of the tree house. Using the given information, we can calculate the height as follows: (5^2) + (x^2) = (13^2). Solving for x, we find that the height of the tree house is 12 feet.

What table of ordered pairs corresponds to the function y = -3x + 1?
Correct Answer
C.
Explanation
The table of ordered pairs corresponds to the function y = -3x + 1 can be generated by substituting different values of x into the equation and solving for y. The x-values can be chosen arbitrarily, and then the corresponding y-values can be calculated using the equation. For example, if we choose x = 0, then y = 1. If we choose x = 1, then y = -2. By continuing this process, we can generate a table of ordered pairs that corresponds to the given function.

Write the equation of a line, in slope-intercept form, passing through the points (6, 2) and (3, 0).
Correct Answer
A.
Explanation
To find the equation of a line in slope-intercept form, we need to determine the slope and the y-intercept. The slope can be found using the formula: slope = (change in y) / (change in x). By substituting the coordinates of the two points, we can calculate the slope as (0 - 2) / (3 - 6) = -2/3. The y-intercept can be found by substituting the coordinates of one of the points into the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope. Using the point (6, 2), we can substitute the values to find the y-intercept: 2 = (-2/3)(6) + b. Solving for b, we get b = 6. Therefore, the equation of the line is y = (-2/3)x + 6.
