Question 1 of 5

Which of the following is the y-intercept of the line whose equation is 7y − 42x + 7 = 0?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 in the equation 7y − 42x + 7 = 0. This simplifies to 7y - 42(0) + 7 = 0, which gives 7y = -7. Solving for y, we get y = -1. Therefore, the y-intercept is where x = 0, so the correct answer is (0, -1). Choice A (1/6, 0) is incorrect as it does not satisfy the given equation when x = 0. Choice B (6, 0) is incorrect as it represents the x-intercept. Choice D (-1, 0) is incorrect as it does not correspond to the y-intercept of the given equation.

Question 2 of 5

A rectangular field has an area of 1452 square feet. If the length is three times the width, what is the width of the field?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the width of the rectangular field, use the formula for the area of a rectangle: A = length width. Given that the length is three times the width, you have A = 3w w. Substituting the given area, 1452 = 3w^2. Solving for w, you get 484 = w^2. Taking the square root gives ±22, but since the width must be positive, the width of the field is 22 feet. Choice B, 44 feet, is incorrect because it represents the length, not the width. Choice C, 242 feet, is incorrect as it is not a factor of the area. Choice D, 1452 feet, is incorrect as it represents the total area of the field, not the width.

Question 3 of 5

The owner of a newspaper has noticed that print subscriptions have gone down 40% while online subscriptions have gone up 60%. Print subscriptions once accounted for 70% of the newspaper's business, and online subscriptions accounted for 25%. What is the overall percentage growth or decline in business?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the decline in business, start with the 40% decline in the 70% share of print subscriptions: 40% of 70% = 0.40 0.70 = 0.28 = 28% decline. Next, calculate the growth from the 60% increase in the 25% share of online subscriptions: 60% of 25% = 0.60 0.25 = 0.15 = 15% growth. To find the overall change, sum the decline and growth percentages: 28% decline + 15% growth = -0.28 + 0.15 = -0.13 = 13% decline. Therefore, the overall percentage change in the newspaper's business is a 13% decline. Option A is the correct answer. Option B is incorrect because it doesn't consider the correct calculations for both the decline and growth. Option C is incorrect as it misinterprets the net change in business. Option D is incorrect as it miscalculates the overall percentage growth or decline.

Question 4 of 5

What is the result of (6.4)(2.8) · 0.4? Which of the following is correct?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.

Question 5 of 5

Bridget is repainting her rectangular bedroom. Two walls measure 15 feet by 9 feet, and the other two measure 12.5 feet by 9 feet. One gallon of paint covers an average of 32 square meters. Which of the following is the number of gallons of paint that Bridget will use? (There are 3.28 feet in 1 meter.)

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: First, convert the dimensions to meters: 15 ft. (1 m/3.28 ft.) = 4.57 m; 9 ft. (1 m/3.28 ft.) = 2.74 m; 12.5 ft. (1 m/3.28 ft.) = 3.81 m. Next, find the total area in square meters: total area = 2(4.57 m 2.74 m) + 2(3.81 m 2.74 m) = 45.9 m². Finally, convert the area to gallons of paint: 45.9 m² (1 gallon/32 m²) = 1.43 gallons. Therefore, Bridget will need 1.43 gallons of paint to repaint her bedroom. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the required amount of paint based on the given dimensions and the coverage area of one gallon of paint.
