Answers:

2- A
Use area of rectangle formula.
Area \(=\) length \(×\) width \(⇒ A = 30 × 45 ⇒ A = 1,350\)

3- A
\(average (mean) = \frac{sum \space of \space terms}{number \space of \space terms}⇒ average= \frac{32+35+29}{3}⇒ average = 32\)

4- A
Peter’s speed \(= \frac{120}{4}= 30\)
Jason’s speed \(= \frac{160}{8}=20\)
\(\frac{The \space average \space speed \space of \space peter}{The \space average \space speed \space of \space Jason}=\frac{30}{20}\)
equals to: \(\frac{3}{2}\)or 3 : 2

5- B
Plug in \(x=- 8\) in each equation.
\(x(2x-4)=120→(-8)(2(-8)-4)=(-8)×(-16-4)=160\)
\(8 (4-x)=96→8(4-(-8)=8(12)=96\)
\(2 (4x+6)=79→2(4(-8)+6)=2(-32+6)=-52\)
\(6x-2=-46→6(-8)-2=-48-2=-50\)
Only option B is correct.

6- B
The diameter of the circle is 8 inches. Therefore, the radius of the circle is 4 inches.
Use circumference of circle formula.
\(C = 2πr ⇒ C = 2 × 3.14 × 4 ⇒ C = 25.12\)

7- B
3 workers can walk 9 dogs ⇒ 1 workers can walk 3 dogs.
5 workers can walk \((5 × 3) 15\) dogs.

8- C
The horizontal axis in the coordinate plane is called the x-axis. The vertical axis is called the y-axis. The point at which the two axes intersect is called the origin. The origin is at 0 on the x-axis and 0 on the y-axis.

9- C
\(19 + (16 × 26) = 19 + 416 = 435\)

10- D
1 hour: \($4.75\)
8 hours: \(8 × $4.75 = $38\)

11- C
An obtuse angle is an angle of greater than 90\(^\circ\) and less than 180\(^\circ\). From the options provided, only option C (143 degrees) is an obtuse angle.

12- A
\(6 – 3\frac{4}{9}=\frac{54}{9}-\frac{31}{9}=\frac{23}{9}\)

13- D
The number of guests that are not present are \((220 – 190) 30\) out of \(220 =\frac{30}{220}\)
Change the fraction to percent:
\(\frac{30}{220}×100\%=13.64\%\)

14- D
Each kilogram is 1,000 grams.
18,023 grams \(= (\frac{18,023}{1,000}) =18.023\) kilograms.
Therefore, two amounts provided are equal.

15- B
Aria teaches 36 hours for three identical courses. Therefore, she teaches 12 hours for each course. Aria earns $25 per hour. Therefore, she earned $300 (\(12 × 25\)) for each course.

16- C
The number of female students in the class is \((60 – 22) 38\) out of \(60 = \frac{38}{60}\)
Change the fraction to percent:
\(\frac{38}{60} 3 ×100\%=63\%\)

17- C
Write a proportion and solve.
\(\frac{6 \space soft \space drinks}{9 \space guests}=\frac{x}{171 \space guests}\)
\(x =\frac{171×6}{9}⇒x=114\)

18- C
Every 90 minutes Emma checks her email.
In 9 hours (540 minutes), Emma checks her email \((540 ÷ 90) 6\) times.

19- C
There are 44 students in the class. 18 of the are male and 26 of them are female.
26 out of 44 are female. Then:
\(\frac{26}{44}=\frac{x}{100}→2,600=44x→x=2,600÷44≈59\%\)

20- C
Divide the number flowers by \(12: 516 ÷ 12 = 43\)
