Question 1 of 5
Translate the phrase 'Five less than twice the number' into a mathematical expression.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To translate 'Five less than twice the number' into a mathematical expression, you first calculate twice the number (2x) and then subtract 5 from it. This gives you 2x-5. Therefore, choice B, 2x-5, accurately represents the mathematical expression for 'Five less than twice the number.' The phrase 'Five less than' implies subtraction, and 'twice the number' is represented by 2x. Thus, when you subtract 5 from twice the number, the correct expression is 2x-5.

Question 2 of 5
Which of the following translates the phrase '5 less than 2 times a number' into a mathematical expression?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To translate the phrase '5 less than 2 times a number' into a mathematical expression, you first express '2 times a number' as 2x. Then, '5 less than' indicates subtracting 5 from the result, leading to 2x - 5. Therefore, choice C, 2x - 5, correctly represents the given phrase in a mathematical expression.
Question 3 of 5
When a person increases cycling speed, the rate of calories burned, distance traveled, and energy expended also increase. Which of the following is the independent variable?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In the context of this scenario, the independent variable is the factor that is deliberately altered or controlled to observe its impact on other variables. When a person adjusts their cycling speed, it directly influences the rate of calories burned, distance traveled, and energy expended. Speed is the independent variable because it is manipulated to study its effects on the dependent variables - calories burned, distance traveled, and energy expended. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Speed.'
Question 4 of 5
A bucket can hold 3L. How many milliliters can the bucket hold?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 since 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters. Therefore, to determine how many milliliters a 3-liter bucket can hold, you multiply 3 by 1000, resulting in 3000ml. Hence, a bucket that can hold 3L is capable of holding 3000ml.
Question 5 of 5
A worker earns $8000.00 per week before any tax deductions. The following taxes are deducted each week: $83.00 federal income tax, $38.00 state income tax, and $79.00 social security tax. How much will the worker make in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To determine the worker's earnings in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted, start by calculating the total weekly tax deductions: $83.00 + $38.00 + $79.00 = $200.00. Subtract the total weekly tax deductions from the weekly earnings: $8000.00 - $200.00 = $7800.00. Now, to find the total earnings after 4 weeks, multiply the weekly earnings after deductions by 4: $7800.00 x 4 = $31,200.00. Therefore, the worker will make $31,200.00 in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted.
