  1. A graph shows a line passing through the points (0, 2) and (3, 8). What is the slope of this line?

    Answer: 2

    Slope = (8 − 2) ÷ (3 − 0) = 6 ÷ 3 = 2.

  2. Which of the following is a prime number?

    Answer: 37

    37 has no factors other than 1 and itself, making it prime; 27 = 3³, 49 = 7², 51 = 3 × 17.

  3. The ratio of boys to girls in a class is 3:5. If there are 24 boys, how many girls are there?

    Answer: 40

    Answer: 30

    15% of 200 = 0.15 × 200 = 30.

  5. A cylinder has a radius of 5 cm and a height of 10 cm. Using π ≈ 3.14, what is its volume?

    Answer: 785 cm³

    V = πr²h = 3.14 × 25 × 10 = 785 cm³.

  6. Which property is illustrated by the equation 5 × (3 + 4) = 5 × 3 + 5 × 4?

    Answer: Distributive property

    The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac.

  7. On a coordinate plane, in which quadrant is the point (−4, 3) located?

    Answer: Quadrant II
