  1. 56
  2. 15
  3. 42
  4. 3,136

Which of the following fractions is the largest?

  1. 2⁄5
  2. 3⁄8
  3. 7⁄10
  4. 13⁄16

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Find a common denominator for the fractions. In this case, 80 work for all the fractions. Convert all the fractions: 2⁄5 = 32⁄80; 3⁄8 = 30⁄80; 7⁄10 = 56⁄80; and 13⁄16 = 65⁄80.
Comparing the fractions, you can see that 13⁄16 (65⁄80) is the largest fraction.



If 2 + x ≥ 4, what is the value of x?

  1. 6
  2. 2
  3. 4
  4. 1⁄2

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Solve as you would solve for any unknown. 2 + x ≥ 4 = 2 + x – 2 ≥ 4 – 2. Or, x ≥ 2. To check your answer, substitute 2 for x.
2 + 2 ≥ 4. True, so the answer is correct.



If a circle has a radius of 12 feet, what’s its circumference most nearly?

  1. 24 feet
  2. 72 feet
  3. 75 feet
  4. 36 feet

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Circumference equals π × diameter, and diameter is equal to two times the radius. Or
C = π × d, and d = 2r. C = π × 24.
If you round π to 3.14, the answer is about 75.36 or about 75 feet.
