What is 4/12 + 6/12 in simplest form?
Correct Answer
D. 5/6
Explanation
To find the sum of 4/12 and 6/12 in simplest form, we add the numerators (4 + 6 = 10) and keep the denominator the same (12). Therefore, the sum is 10/12. To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2. Dividing 10 by 2 gives us 5, and dividing 12 by 2 gives us 6. Therefore, the simplified form of 10/12 is 5/6.

Which is the closest estimate of 31/3 - 13/8
Correct Answer
B. 1 1/2
Explanation
To find the closest estimate of 31/3 - 13/8, we can convert both fractions to have a common denominator. The common denominator for 3 and 8 is 24. So, we can rewrite 31/3 as 248/24 and 13/8 as 39/24. Subtracting these values, we get 248/24 - 39/24 = 209/24. Simplifying this fraction, we get 8 17/24. Since 8 is closer to 9 than to 7, the closest estimate is 8 17/24, which is approximately equal to 1 1/2.

Adina has a 4-foot piece of rope and she wants to cut it into 3 1/2 -foot lengths. How many 3 1/2 -foot pieces can she make from the original rope?
Correct Answer
B. 4 pieces
Explanation
Adina has a 4-foot piece of rope and wants to cut it into 3 1/2-foot lengths. To determine how many 3 1/2-foot pieces she can make, we need to divide the total length of the rope (4 feet) by the desired length of each piece (3 1/2 feet). When we divide 4 by 3 1/2, we get a quotient of 1 with a remainder of 1/2. This means Adina can make 1 full 3 1/2-foot piece and have 1/2 foot of rope left over. Therefore, she can make 1 full piece and an additional piece from the remaining 1/2 foot, resulting in a total of 2 pieces.

Use mental math to find the value of y.7/18 = y/36
Correct Answer
B. 14
Explanation
To find the value of y, we can set up a proportion using the given equation. Cross-multiplying, we get 7 * 36 = 18 * y. Simplifying further, we have 252 = 18y. Dividing both sides by 18, we find that y = 14. Therefore, the correct answer is 14.

What is the perimeter of an equilateral triangle whose sides are 16 centimeters?
Correct Answer
C. 48 cm
Explanation
An equilateral triangle has all three sides equal in length. In this case, the sides of the triangle are given as 16 centimeters. To find the perimeter, we need to add up the lengths of all three sides. Since all three sides are equal, we can simply multiply the length of one side by 3. Therefore, the perimeter of the equilateral triangle is 16 cm x 3 = 48 cm.

What is the perimeter of a square with an area of 16 square centimeters?
Correct Answer
D. 16 cm
Explanation
The perimeter of a square is the sum of all its sides. In this case, since the area of the square is given as 16 square centimeters, we can find the length of one side by taking the square root of the area. The square root of 16 is 4, so each side of the square is 4 centimeters. Since a square has four equal sides, the perimeter of this square would be 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16 cm.

What is the compliment of an angle whose measure is 32 degrees?
Correct Answer
A. 58 degrees
Explanation
The complement of an angle is the angle that, when added to the given angle, equals 90 degrees. Since the given angle measures 32 degrees, the complement would be 90 - 32 = 58 degrees.

The length of a bridge on a map is 3 inches. The actual length of the bridge is 12 miles. What is the scale of the map?
Correct Answer
A. 1 in : 4 mi
Explanation
The scale of the map is 1 inch represents 4 miles. This means that for every inch on the map, the actual distance is 4 miles. Since the length of the bridge on the map is 3 inches, the actual length of the bridge is 3 inches x 4 miles/inch = 12 miles.

What is the area of a circle whose radius is 3 meters? Use 3.14 for pi
Correct Answer
C. 28.26 square meters
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 radius is given as 3 meters. Plugging this value into the formula, we get A = 3.14 * 3^2 = 3.14 * 9 = 28.26 square meters.

Write 2/5 as a percent and as a decimal.
Correct Answer
C. 40%, 0.4
Explanation
The correct answer is 40%, 0.4. To convert a fraction to a percent, we divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply by 100. In this case, 2 divided by 5 is 0.4, and when multiplied by 100, it becomes 40%. To convert a fraction to a decimal, we divide the numerator by the denominator. Again, 2 divided by 5 is 0.4. Therefore, the fraction 2/5 can be expressed as 40% or 0.4.

Find the surface area of a rectangular prism with a length of 5 cm, a width of 4 cm, and a height of 3 cm.
Correct Answer
C. 94 square cm
Explanation
To find the surface area of a rectangular prism, we need to calculate the area of each face and then add them together. The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height. Plugging in the given values, we get 2(5)(4) + 2(5)(3) + 2(4)(3) = 40 + 30 + 24 = 94 square cm. Therefore, the correct answer is 94 square cm.
