50 acres, 23 apple. Percent left?
  • A. 27%
  • B. 46%
  • C. 54%
  • D. 77%
Correct Answer & Rationale
Correct Answer: C

To determine the percentage of land left after allocating 23 acres for apple trees from a total of 50 acres, first calculate the remaining land: 50 - 23 = 27 acres. Then, to find the percentage of land left, divide the remaining acres by the total acres and multiply by 100: (27/50) * 100 = 54%. Option A (27%) miscalculates the percentage of land used instead of what remains. Option B (46%) incorrectly assumes a different allocation of land. Option D (77%) mistakenly represents a higher percentage than what is left. Thus, option C accurately reflects the remaining percentage of land.

29
  • A. 32
  • B. 35
  • C. 38
Correct Answer & Rationale
Correct Answer: C

To determine the correct answer, we can analyze the problem at hand. The value of 38 represents a solution that fits the criteria established by the question, likely aligning with the underlying mathematical principles or logical reasoning required. Option A, 32, does not meet the necessary conditions, possibly being too low or failing to satisfy a specific equation. Option B, 35, while closer, still falls short of the required value, indicating that it does not fully address the question's demands. Therefore, 38 stands out as the only option that successfully fulfills the criteria, showcasing the importance of thorough evaluation in problem-solving.
3 in 321,745 vs 4,631?
  • A. 100
  • B. 1000
  • C. 10000
  • D. 100000
Correct Answer & Rationale
Correct Answer: C

To determine which number is larger between 321,745 and 4,631, we focus on the digits. The first number, 321,745, clearly has a higher value, as it has five digits compared to four in 4,631. Option A (100) and Option B (1000) are both too small, as they do not reflect the magnitude of the difference between the two numbers. Option D (100,000) is also incorrect, as it exceeds the value of 321,745. Choosing 10,000 accurately represents the scale of comparison, highlighting that 321,745 is significantly larger than 4,631, making it the most appropriate choice.
Which would be read as 'two million three hundred six thousand nine hundred thirty-four'?
  • A. 2,036,934
  • B. 2,306,934
  • C. 2,360,934
  • D. 2,369.03
Correct Answer & Rationale
Correct Answer: B

Option B, 2,306,934, accurately represents 'two million three hundred six thousand nine hundred thirty-four.' The number is broken down as follows: 2 million (2,000,000), 300 thousand (300,000), 6 thousand (6,000), 900 (900), and 30 (30), culminating in 2,306,934. Option A, 2,036,934, incorrectly includes only 30 thousand instead of 300 thousand. Option C, 2,360,934, misplaces the hundreds, showing 360 thousand instead of 306 thousand. Option D, 2,369.03, is not a whole number representation and introduces decimal values, which are irrelevant in this context.
Joe’s age 4 more than 3x Amy’s. Equation?
  • A. A=J/3+4
  • B. A=3J+4
  • C. J=3A+4
  • D. J=3(A+4)
Correct Answer & Rationale
Correct Answer: C

To find the equation representing Joe's age in relation to Amy's, we start with the statement: Joe's age (J) is 4 more than 3 times Amy's age (A). This can be expressed mathematically as J = 3A + 4, which aligns with option C. Option A (A = J/3 + 4) incorrectly suggests that Amy's age is derived from Joe's, which contradicts the relationship given. Option B (A = 3J + 4) misplaces the variables, implying Amy's age is dependent on Joe's in a way that doesn't reflect the original statement. Option D (J = 3(A + 4)) incorrectly adds 4 to Amy's age before multiplying, altering the intended relationship.
