Question 1 of 5
The length of a rectangle is 3 units greater than its width. Which expression correctly represents the perimeter of the rectangle?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you add up all its sides. In this case, the length is 3 units greater than the width, so the length can be expressed as W + 3. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2W + 2(L), where L represents the length. Substituting W + 3 for L, the correct expression for the perimeter becomes 2W + 2(W + 3), which simplifies to 2W + 2W + 6 or 4W + 6. Choices B, C, and D do not correctly represent the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle. Choice B simply adds the width twice to 3, neglecting the length. Choice C multiplies the width by the sum of the width and 3, which is incorrect. Choice D combines the width and 3 times the width, which is not the correct formula for the perimeter of a rectangle.
Question 2 of 5
Based on the information in the table showing healthcare spending per capita in a group of African nations, which country experienced the largest increase in dollars spent per capita from 2013 to 2015?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Eritrea had the largest increase in healthcare spending per capita from 2013 to 2015. By comparing the data in the table, it is evident that Eritrea had the greatest change in dollars spent per capita during the specified period. Sudan, Tanzania, and Kenya did not experience as significant an increase in healthcare spending per capita as Eritrea did, making them incorrect choices.
Question 3 of 5
What is 31% of 426?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find 31% of 426, multiply 0.31 by 426. This gives 0.31 426 = 132.06. Therefore, choice B, 132.06, is the correct answer. Choice A, 425.69, is close to the original number but is not the correct answer for the percentage calculation. Choice C, 13.7, is not the correct result for 31% of 426. Choice D, 0.07, is significantly lower than the correct answer and does not represent 31% of 426.
Question 4 of 5
What is the median of the data set below: 5, -3, 10, -2, 0?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the median, we first need to arrange the data set in ascending order: -3, -2, 0, 5, 10. The median is the middle value in the ordered set. As there are 5 numbers, the middle value is the third number, which is 0. Therefore, the correct answer is 0. Choice A (10) and Choice D (2) are not correct because they are not the middle values once the data set is ordered. Choice C (5) is also incorrect as it is not the middle value in the ordered data set.
Question 5 of 5
The force applied is directly proportional to the stretch of a coil. If a force of 132 Newtons stretches a coil 0.07 meters, what force would be needed to stretch a coil 0.1 meter? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the force needed to stretch the coil 0.1 meters, we can set up a proportion based on the given information. The initial force and stretch are in direct proportion, so we can use this relationship to determine the unknown force. (132 N / 0.07 m) = X / 0.1 m. Cross-multiplying, we get 132 N * 0.1 m / 0.07 m = 188.57 N, which rounds to 188.6 N. Therefore, the correct answer is 188.6 Newtons. Choice A is incorrect as it does not match the calculated answer. Choice B is significantly higher and does not align with the proportional relationship. Choice D is close but does not account for the correct rounding as specified in the question.
