  1. A student earns $8.50 per hour. She works 6 hours on Saturday and 4 hours on Sunday. How much does she earn in total?

    Answer: $85.00

    Total hours = 6 + 4 = 10; Total earnings = 10 × $8.50 = $85.00.

  2. Which of the following is a prime number?

    Answer: 41

    41 has no factors other than 1 and itself, making it prime; 27 = 3³, 33 = 3×11, and 49 = 7².

  3. A box plot shows the following five-number summary: Min=10, Q1=20, Median=35, Q3=50, Max=70. What is the interquartile range (IQR)?

    Answer: 30

    IQR = Q3 − Q1 = 50 − 20 = 30.

  4. If y = 3x − 5, what is the value of y when x = 4?

    Answer: 7

    y = 3(4) − 5 = 12 − 5 = 7.

  5. A scale drawing uses 1 inch = 20 feet. If a room measures 3.5 inches on the drawing, how long is the actual room?

    Answer: 70 feet

    Actual length = 3.5 × 20 = 70 feet.

  6. What is the surface area of a cube with a side length of 5 cm?

    Answer: 150 cm²

    A cube has 6 faces, each with area 5² = 25 cm², so total surface area = 6 × 25 = 150 cm².

  7. A spinner has 8 equal sections numbered 1–8. What is the probability of spinning an even number greater than 4?

    Answer: 1/4

    Even numbers greater than 4 on the spinner: 6 and 8 — that's 2 out of 8 sections, or 2/8 = 1/4.
