Question 1

A group of students voted on five after-school activities. The bar graph shows the number of students who voted for each of the five activities.
How many students chose activity 3?

Show explanation Expand Question

The correct answer is B. 39.
Observing the plot closely, you can see that Activity 3 is between 35 and 40, and even closer to 40 than to 35. Looking at the list of available options, we see that 39 is the only number between 35 and 40. Hence, the number of students that voted for Activity 3 is 39.

Question 4

3 more than 8 times a number x is equal to 83.
Which equation represents this question?

Show explanation Expand Question

Lets break the word problem into bits.
Three more: + 3
8 times a number x: 8x 
is equal to 83
Combining these we have:
8x + 3 = 83

Question 5

Hana deposited a fixed amount into her bank account each month. The function f (t) = 100 + 25t gives the amount, in dollars, in Hana’s bank account after t monthly deposits.
What is the best interpretation of 25 in this context?

Show explanation Expand Question

Correct answer: A) With each monthly deposit, the amount in Hana’s bank account increased by $25.

The function is f(t)=100+25t, where:

100 is the starting amount in the account before any deposits.
25t means Hana deposits $25 every month, so each month the account increases by $25.

Therefore, 25 represents the monthly increase due to the fixed deposit.

Question 6

Note: Figures not drawn to scale. 

Right triangles PQR and STU are similar, where P corresponds to S. If the measure of angle Q is 18°,
what is the measure of angle S ?

Show explanation Expand Question

Total angles in a triangle = 180

Both PQR and STU are right angled triangle, as such T' = Q' = 18o 
Thus:
T' + S' + U' = 180o
18o + S' + 90o = 180o
S' = 180o - 108o = 72o

Question 7

The scatterplot shows the relationship between
two variables, x and y.

Which of the following equations is the most appropriate linear model for the data shown?

Show explanation Expand Question

Equation of a straight line is given as:
y = mx + c
Where:
m is the gradient of the straight line
\( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{1 - 9}{8.8 - 0} = -0.909 \)

The y-intercept of the line is 9.4.

Substituting, we have:
y = -0.9x + 9.4
or y = 9.4 - 0.9x.

Question 8

2.5b + 5r = 80
The given equation describes the relationship between the number of birds, b, and the number of reptiles, r, that can be cared for at a pet care business on a given day. If the business cares for 16 reptiles on a given day, how many birds can it care for on this day?

Show explanation Expand Question

2.5b + 5(16) = 80
2.5b + 80 = 80
b = 0

Question 9

What is an equation of the graph shown?

Show explanation Expand Question

Equation of a straight line is given by:
y = mx + c    _____Eq.1
where m = gradient and c the y-intercept.

\[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \]

x_1 = 0; x_2 = -8; y_1 = -8; y_2 = 0

\[ m = \frac{0 - (-8)}{-8 - 0} = \frac{8}{-8} = -1 \]

So, equation of the line:\[ y = -x + c \]

Using point (0, -8) to find c:\[ -8 = -0 + c \implies c = -8 \]

Therefore, the equation of the line is:\[ y = -x - 8 \]

Question 10

Line tt in the xy-plane has a slope of 1/3 and passes through the point (9, 10). Which equation defines line tt?

Show explanation Expand Question

gradient (m) = -1/3
x = 9, and y = 10

y−10x−9=−13
3y−30=x−9

None of the options provided is correct.
