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 = $$πr^2=π(\frac{25}{2})^2=156.25π=156.25×3.14=490.625≅491$$
