Question 1 of 5
During week 1, Cameron worked 5 shifts. During week 2, she worked twice as many shifts. During week 3, she added 4 more shifts. How many shifts did Cameron work in week 3?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find out how many shifts Cameron worked in week 3, we first determine the shifts worked in weeks 1 and 2. In week 1, Cameron worked 5 shifts. In week 2, she worked twice as many shifts, which is 5 x 2 = 10 shifts. Adding the 4 more shifts in week 3, the total shifts worked in week 3 would be 5 (week 1) + 10 (week 2) + 4 (week 3) = 19 shifts. Therefore, the correct answer is 14 shifts (Option B), not 15 shifts (Option A), 16 shifts (Option C), or 17 shifts (Option D).
Question 2 of 5
If 9.5% of a town's population of 51,623 people voted for a proposition, approximately how many people voted for the proposition?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the approximate number of people who voted for the proposition, multiply the town's population by the percentage that voted: 51,623 * 9.5% = 51,623 * 0.095 ≈ 4,904. Therefore, approximately 5,000 people voted for the proposition. Choice A (3000), C (7000), and D (10000) are incorrect because they do not accurately represent 9.5% of the town's population.
Question 3 of 5
A driver drove 305 miles at 65 mph, stopped for 15 minutes, then drove another 162 miles at 80 mph. How long was the trip?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the total trip duration, calculate the driving time for each segment and add the stop time. The driving time for the first segment is 305 miles · 65 mph = 4.69 hours. The driving time for the second segment is 162 miles · 80 mph = 2.025 hours. Adding the 15-minute stop (0.25 hours) gives a total time of 4.69 hours + 2.025 hours + 0.25 hours = 6.965 hours, which is closest to 6.69 hours (Choice B). Option A is incorrect as it miscalculates the total duration. Option C is incorrect as it overestimates the total duration. Option D is incorrect as it underestimates the total duration.
Question 4 of 5
What is the equation that describes the relationship between x and y in the table below: x = 2, y = 6; x = 3, y = 9; x = 4, y = 12?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is y = 3x. By examining the table provided, we can see that for each increase of 1 in x, y increases by 3. This consistent pattern indicates that y is three times the value of x, leading to the equation y = 3x. Choices B, C, and D do not match the pattern observed in the table and are therefore incorrect.
Question 5 of 5
Complete the following equation: 5 + 3 4 - 6 / 2 = ?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To solve this equation, follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS): First, perform multiplication and division from left to right. 3 4 equals 12, and 6 / 2 equals 3. Then, carry out addition and subtraction from left to right. 5 + 12 - 3 equals 14, not 9. Therefore, the correct answer is 14, making choice B the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D can be eliminated as they do not match the correct result obtained by following the order of operations.
