CLT Quantitative Reasoning 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: If 3x - 7 = 14, what is the value of x?
- 3
- 7 (Correct answer)
- 21
- 9
Correct answer: 7
Adding 7 to both sides gives 3x = 21, so x = 7.
Question 2: A train travels at 60 mph. How many minutes does it take to travel 25 miles?
- 25 (Correct answer)
- 30
- 20
- 15
Correct answer: 25
25 miles ÷ 60 mph = 5/12 hour = 25 minutes.
Question 3: What is the slope of the line passing through points (2, 4) and (6, 12)?
- 1
- 2 (Correct answer)
- 3
- 4
Correct answer: 2
Slope = (12 - 4) / (6 - 2) = 8 / 4 = 2.
Question 4: If f(x) = x² - 3x + 2, what is f(4)?
- 6 (Correct answer)
- 8
- 10
- 12
Correct answer: 6
f(4) = 16 - 12 + 2 = 6.
Question 5: A rectangle has a perimeter of 36 cm and a length of 10 cm. What is its width?
- 6
- 8 (Correct answer)
- 10
- 12
Correct answer: 8
2(10) + 2w = 36 → 2w = 16 → w = 8 cm.
Question 6: Solve for y: 2y/3 = 8
- 10
- 12 (Correct answer)
- 14
- 16
Correct answer: 12
Multiply both sides by 3/2: y = 8 × (3/2) = 12.
Question 7: A store offers a 20% discount on a $75 item. What is the final price?
- $55
- $60 (Correct answer)
