What is the sum of 1/3 and 1/6?
2/3
1/4
3/4
1/2
Converting 1/3 to 2/6 and then adding 1/6 gives 3/6, which simplifies to 1/2. This exercise reinforces the process of adding fractions with a common denominator.
Solve for y: 2y + 6 = 14.
3
6
5
4
Subtracting 6 from both sides yields 2y = 8, and dividing by 2 gives y = 4. This problem demonstrates basic skills in solving linear equations.
What is the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 8 and a width of 5?
34
40
21
26
The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated as 2 * (length + width). With a length of 8 and width of 5, the perimeter is 2*(8+5) = 26.
What is the area of a triangle with a base of 10 and a height of 4?
20
15
10
40
The area of a triangle is given by ½ * base * height. For a base of 10 and height of 4, the area is ½ * 10 * 4 = 20.
Which of the following is the correct order of operations?
Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division
Multiplication, Addition, Division, Exponents
Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction
Exponents, Parentheses, Addition, Multiplication
The established order of operations is Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, and then Addition/Subtraction. Following this sequence ensures accurate and consistent results in calculations.
A bag contains 3 red, 5 blue, and 2 green marbles. What is the probability of drawing a blue marble?
1/5
2/5
1/2
3/5
The total number of marbles is 3 + 5 + 2 = 10, with 5 blue marbles. Therefore, the probability of drawing a blue marble is 5/10, which simplifies to 1/2.
On the coordinate plane, which quadrant has both x and y coordinates negative?
Quadrant IV
Quadrant II
Quadrant III
Quadrant I
Quadrant III of the coordinate plane is defined by having both x and y negative. Recognizing the layout of quadrants is vital for graphing and coordinate geometry.
What is 25% of 80?
30
25
15
20
Since 25% is equivalent to one-fourth, 25% of 80 is calculated as 80 ÷ 4, which equals 20. This reinforces the concept of converting percentages to fractions for ease of calculation.
Solve the equation: 4(x - 2) + 3 = 19.
6
8
7
5
Subtract 3 from both sides to obtain 4(x - 2) = 16, then divide by 4 to get x - 2 = 4. Adding 2 to both sides results in x = 6.
A rectangle's length is 3 times its width, and its perimeter is 64 cm. What is the area of the rectangle?
160 cm²
200 cm²
192 cm²
128 cm²
Let the width be w; then the length is 3w. The perimeter is 2(w + 3w) = 8w, and setting 8w equal to 64 yields w = 8 and length = 24, so the area is 8 - 24 = 192 cm².
If (3/4) of a number is 36, what is the number?
60
54
42
48
To find the number, divide 36 by 3/4, which is equivalent to multiplying 36 by 4/3. This calculation yields 48, testing the ability to manipulate fractions in equations.
A cylindrical container has a radius of 3 cm and a height of 10 cm. What is its volume? (Use π ≈ 3.14)
94.2 cm³
300 cm³
282.6 cm³
314 cm³
The volume of a cylinder is calculated with the formula πr²h. Substituting r = 3 and h = 10 gives 3.14 - 9 - 10 ≈ 282.6 cm³.
A car travels 60 miles in 1.5 hours. What is its average speed in miles per hour?
50 mph
40 mph
30 mph
60 mph
Average speed is determined by dividing the total distance by the total time. Calculating 60 ÷ 1.5 results in an average speed of 40 mph.
