Question 1 · Number System and Quantity
A teacher asks students to convert the fraction 3/8 into a decimal.
Answer: C. 0.375
Explanation To convert a fraction into a decimal: 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375 Therefore the correct decimal representation is 0.375.
Question 2 · Algebra, Functions, and Modeling
The table represents a function.
| x | f(x) |
|---|---|
| 1 | 5 |
| 2 | 7 |
| 3 | 9 |
| 4 | 11 |
Answer: D. f(x)=2x+3
Explanation Check pattern: x = 1 → 5 x = 2 → 7 x = 3 → 9 Each step increases by 2. Testing rule: 2x + 3 2(1) + 3 = 5 2(2) + 3 = 7 2(3) + 3 = 9 Rule matches.
Question 3 · Statistics and Probability
A bag contains 5 red marbles and 3 blue marbles.
Answer: D. 3/8
Explanation Total marbles = 5 + 3 = 8 Blue marbles = 3 Probability = 3/8
Question 4 · Earth and Space Science
Answer: B. Crust
Explanation The crust is Earth’s outermost layer. It is relatively thin compared with other layers and contains continents, oceans, and most living organisms.
Question 5 · Statistics and Probability
A biologist records the number of rabbits in a field.
| Year | Rabbits |
|---|---|
| 1 | 40 |
| 2 | 55 |
| 3 | 70 |
| 4 | 85 |
Answer: A. Population growth
Explanation The rabbit population increases each year from 40 to 85, showing population growth.
Question 6 · Number System and Quantity
Answer: C. 0.625
Explanation To convert a fraction to a decimal: 5 ÷ 8 = 0.625
Question 7 · Algebra, Functions, and Modeling
The following table shows a function.
| x | f(x) |
|---|---|
| 1 | 4 |
| 2 | 6 |
| 3 | 8 |
| 4 | 10 |
Answer: B. f(x)=2x+2
Explanation Test rule 2x+2: x = 1 → 4 x = 2 → 6 x = 3 → 8 Rule matches the table.
Question 8 · Statistics and Probability
A bag contains 4 red balls and 6 blue balls.
Answer: B. 4/10
Explanation Total balls = 4 + 6 = 10 Red balls = 4 Probability = 4/10
Question 9 · Earth and Space Science
Answer: B. Mantle
Explanation Earth consists of three major layers: Crust Mantle Core The mantle lies directly beneath the crust and is the thickest layer.
Question 10 · Statistics and Probability
A scientist records the number of birds in a region.
| Year | Birds |
|---|---|
| 1 | 120 |
| 2 | 135 |
| 3 | 150 |
| 4 | 165 |
Answer: A. Population growth
Explanation The number of birds increases each year from 120 to 165, showing population growth.
