Answers:
1- A
\(420=2^2×3^1×5^1×7^1\)
2- B
The area of the trapezoid is: area= \(\frac{(base 1+base 2)}{2})×height= ((\frac{10 + 16}{2})x = A\)
\( →13x = A→x = \frac{A}{13}\)
3- A
\(\frac{104}{8}=13, \frac{1352}{104}=13, \frac{17576}{1352}=13\)
Therefore, the factor is \(13\).
4- C
Simplify each option provided.
\( A. -20-(3×10)+(6×40)=-20-30+240=190\)
\( B. (\frac{15}{8})×72 + (\frac{125}{5}) =135+25=160\)
\(C. ((\frac{30}{4} + \frac{15}{2})×8) – \frac{11}{2} + \frac{222}{4} = ((\frac{30 + 30}{4})×8)- \frac{11}{2}+ \frac{111}{2}=(\frac{60}{4})×8) + \frac{100}{2}= 120 + 50 = 170\)
this is the answer
\(D. \frac{481}{6} + \frac{121}{3}+50= \frac{481+242}{6}+50=120.5+50=170.5\)
5- A
\(1\) \(yard\) \(= \)\(3 feet\)
Therefore, \(3,768 ft × \frac{1 \space yd }{3 \space ft}=1,256 \space yd\)
6- A
\(3,400\) out of \(74,800\) equals to \(\frac{3,400}{74,800}=\frac{17}{374}=\frac{1}{22}\)
7- A
Prime factorizing of \(20=2×2×5\)
Prime factorizing of \(12=2×2×3\)
\(LCM\)\(=2×2×3×5=60\)
8- C
Plug in the value of \(x\) into the function \(f\). First, plug in \(3.1\) for \(x\).
\(A. f=2x-\frac{3}{10}=2(3.1)-\frac{3}{10}=5.9≠8.6\)
\(B. f=x+\frac{3}{10}=3.1+\frac{3}{10}=3.4≠10.8\)
\(C. f=2x+2 \frac{2}{5}=2(3.1)+2 \frac{2}{5}=6.2+2.4=8.6 \)
This is correct!
Plug in other values of \(x. x=4.2\)
\(f=2x+2\frac{2}{5} =2(4.2)+2.4=10.8 \)
This one is also correct.
\(x=5.9\)
\(f=2x+2 \frac{2}{5}=2(5.9)+2.4=14.2 \)
This one works too!
\(D. 2x+\frac{3}{10}=2(3.1)+\frac{3}{10}=6.5≠8.6\)
9- D
\(1 kg\)\(=\) \(1000 g\) and \(1 g\) \(=\) \(1000 mg\)
\(96 kg\)\(=\) \(96\) \(×\) \(1000 g\) \(=\)\(96\) \(×\) \(1000 \)\(×\) \(1000\) \(=\)\(96,000,000 mg\)
10- B
The diameter of a circle is twice the radius. Radius of the circle is \(\frac{25}{2}\).
Area of a circle = \(πr^2=π(\frac{25}{2})^2=156.25π=156.25×3.14=490.625≅491\)
