The density of a certain type of wood is kilograms per cubic meter. A sample of this type of wood is
in the shape of a cube and has a mass of kilograms. To the nearest hundredth of a meter, what is
the length of one edge of this sample?

A.

B.

C.

D.

ID: 0f1d42fd Answer

Correct Answer: B

Rationale

Choice B is correct. It’s given that the density of a certain type of wood is 353 kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3 ), and a
sample of this type of wood has a mass of 345 kg. Let 𝑥 represent the volume, in m3 , of the sample. It follows that the

353 kg 345 kg 345

relationship between the density, mass, and volume of this sample can be written
= , or 353 = . Multiplying both sides of this equation by 𝑥 yields 353𝑥 = 345. Dividing both sides of
1 m3 𝑥 m3 𝑥
345 345
as
this equation by 353 yields 𝑥 = m3 . Since it’s given that the sample of
353 353
. Therefore, the volume of this sample is

for a cube, 𝑉 = 𝑠3 , where 𝑉 represents the volume, in m3 , and 𝑠 represents the length, in m, of one edge of the cube.
this type of wood is a cube, it follows that the length of one edge of this sample can be found using the volume formula

345 345 345

for 𝑉 in this formula yields = 𝑠3 . Taking the cube root of both sides of this equation yields 3 =𝑠
353 353 √353
Substituting
, or 𝑠 ≈ 0 . 99. Therefore, the length of one edge of this sample to the nearest hundredth of a meter is 0.99.

Choices A, C, and D are incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

A certain town has an area of square miles. What is the area, in square yards, of this town?

A.

B.

C.

D.

ID: 7989c1bb Answer

Correct Answer: D

Rationale

Choice D is correct. Since the number of yards in 1 mile is 1,760, the number of square yards in 1 square mile is
(1,760)(1,760) = 3,097,600. Therefore, if the area of the town is 4.36 square miles, it is 4.36(3,097,600) = 13,505,536, in
square yards.

Choice A is incorrect and may result from dividing the number of yards in a mile by the square mileage of the town.

Choice B is incorrect and may result from multiplying the number of yards in a mile by the square mileage of the town.

Choice C is incorrect and may result from dividing the number of square yards in a square mile by the square mileage

For an electric field passing through a flat surface perpendicular to it, the electric flux of the electric field
through the surface is the product of the electric field’s strength and the area of the surface. A certain
flat surface consists of two adjacent squares, where the side length, in meters, of the larger square is
times the side length, in meters, of the smaller square. An electric field with strength volts per
meter passes uniformly through this surface, which is perpendicular to the electric field. If the total
electric flux of the electric field through this surface is , what is the electric flux, in
, of the electric field through the larger square?

ID: ea2c91c1 Answer

Correct Answer: 4176

Rationale

The correct answer is 4,176. It’s given that the side length of the larger square is 3 times the side length of the smaller
square. This means that the area of the larger square is 32 , or 9, times the area of the smaller square. If the area of the
smaller square is represented by 𝑥, then the area of the larger square can be represented by 9𝑥. Therefore, the flat
surface of the two adjacent squares has a total area of 𝑥 + 9𝑥, or 10𝑥. It’s given that an electric field with strength 29.00

is 4,640 volts · meters. Since it's given that the electric flux is the product of the electric field’s strength and the area of
volts per meter passes uniformly through this surface and the total electric flux of the electric field through this surface

the surface, the equation 29.00(10𝑥) = 4,640, or 290𝑥 = 4,640, can be used to represent this situation. Dividing each side
of this equation by 290 yields 𝑥 = 16. Substituting 16 for 𝑥 in the expression for the area of the larger square, 9𝑥, yields
9(16), or 144, square meters. Since the area of the larger square is 144 square meters, the electric flux, in volts · meters,

29.00 volts
of the electric field through the larger square can be determined by multiplying the area of the larger square by the
strength of the electric field. Thus, the electric flux is (144 square meters)( ), or 4,176 volts · meters.

4𝑥 inches

4𝑥 inches 8𝑥 inches

twice the speed of object R, which is 2( ), or . Let 𝑛 represent the time, in seconds, it takes object S
𝑦 seconds 𝑦 seconds

Choice A is incorrect. This expression represents the time, in seconds, it would take object S to travel a distance of 24𝑥
inches if the speed of object R were twice, not half, the speed of object S.

Choice C is incorrect. This expression represents the time, in seconds, it takes object S to travel a distance of 128𝑥

The correct answer is .48 . It's given that the number 𝑎 is 70 % less than the positive number 𝑏. Therefore,

which can be written as 𝑏 = 24 − ( )24. This is equivalent to 𝑏 = 24 − 0.8(24), or 𝑏 = 4.8. It's also given that the
100
number 𝑎 is 190 % greater than the number 𝑏. It follows that 𝑎 is equal to 𝑏 plus 190 % of 𝑏. Since 𝑏 = 4.8, this can be
190
written as 𝑎 = 4.8 + ( )4.8. This is equivalent to 𝑎 = 4.8 + 1.9(4.8), or 𝑎 = 13.92.
100

Choice A is incorrect. This would be the value of 𝑎 if 𝑎 were 190 % of 𝑏, not 190 % greater than 𝑏.

Choice C is incorrect. This is (190 − 80) % of 24.

Choice D is incorrect. This would be the value of 𝑎 if 𝑏 were 80 % of 24, not 80 % less than 24, and 𝑎 were 190 % of 𝑏, not
190 % greater than 𝑏.
