6%
10%
11%
9%
Correct Answer : A
we are asked to find the percent change in weight gain of a person.
First, we need to find the change in weight gained over the 4 months
Change in weight= 186-176=10 lb
The percent change is expressed as change in weight over original weight *100. Then

The percent change in weight is 6% to the nearest whole number.

To find the area of the largest circle that can fit entirely inside a rectangle measuring 8 cm by 10 cm, follow these steps:
Step 1: Determine the largest possible circle
- The largest circle that can fit inside the rectangle will have a diameter equal to the smaller side of the rectangle.
- The rectangle has dimensions 8 cm × 10 cm, so the largest possible diameter is 8 cm (since the circle must fit within the rectangle).
Step 2: Find the radius
The radius r is half of the diameter:
r=8/2=4cm
Step 3: Calculate the area of the circle
The area of a circle is given by the formula:
A=πr2 =16πcm2
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
We required to find the units of finding the weight of a sheet of paper. The SI unit of mass of an object is kilogram. However, kilogram is a large quantity that cannot be used to measure smaller objects.
Thus, derived units of mass are used to find the mass of other objects. In this case, the mass of a sheet paper can be recorded in grams.

we need to find the price of the stock on Thursday.
First, find the price changes in each day of the week as follows:
Monday’s price was $45.32
Tuesday’s price went up by $3.25 from Monday’s price. The price was $(45.32+3.25)=$48.57
Wednesday’s price decreased by $1.73 from Tuesday’s price, and so the price of the stock was $(48.57-1.73)=$46.84
Thursday’s price increased by $0.89 from Wednesday’s price, which was $(46.84+0.89)=$47.73
Therefore, the stock price on Thursday was $47.73.

Explanation
The median of the data set is the number that falls in the middle position after arranging the numbers in the data set in the ascending order.
-6, -4, 1, 8, 12
There are 5 numbers in the given data set, therefore the median falls in the third position from either side. Inspecting the data set, 1 fall in the third position, which is the median for the given data set.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
To find the greatest number from the given set, we first convert the decimal numbers into fractions.
12.35 becomes 1235/100
11.46 becomes 1146/10
Then, the LCM for the denominators of the given fractions of 2, 100, 3 and 10 is 300. Now we multiply each fraction with 300, which we will use to compare the give set.
25/2*300=3750
1235/100*300=3705
40/3*300=4000
1146/10*300=3438
From the calculated values, 4000 is the greatest value. Then, 40/3is the greatest value.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
To answer this question, we need to convert the numbers into a similar form. Converting decimal numbers into fraction is appropriate to finding the greatest number.
-0.9 becomes 9/10
-1.9 becomes 19/10
Now we find the LCM of the denominators of the four fractions. The LCM of 5, 10 and 3 is 30. Multiply each fraction with the LCM to compare the fractions.
-3/5*30=-18
-9/10*30=-27
-19/10*30=-57
-8/3*30=-24
The greatest number is -18, meaning -3/5 is the greatest number.
Correct Answer is C
