A rectangle has a length of 12 m and a
width of 400 cm. What is the perimeter
of the rectangle?
A. 824 cm
B. 1600 cm
C. 2000 cm
D. 3200 cm
Unit 1
Step 1: Change 12 meters to centimeters
12 m

100 cm
1m
=
1200 cm
Step 2: Find perimeter using formula
P = 2L + 2W
1200 cm
P = 2(1200 cm) + 2(400 cm)
400 cm
P = 2400 cm + 800 cm
P = 3200 cm

The distance a car travels can be found using the
formula d = rt, where d is the distance, r is the rate
of speed, and t is time. How many miles does the
car travel, if it drives at a speed of 70 miles per hour
for ½ hour?
A. 35 miles
B. 70 miles
C. 105 miles
D. 140 miles
d = r t

Unit 1 A certain population of bacteria has an average
growth rate of 0.02 bacteria per hour. The
#4
formula for the growth of the bacteria’s
population is A= P (2.71828)0.02t, where P0 is the
original population, and t is the time in hours.
If you begin with 200 bacteria, about how many
bacteria will there be after 100 hours?
0.02t
A= P(2.71828)
Answer
A= 200(2.71828)0.02100
1478

A= 200(2.71828)
A= 200(7.389046) = 1477.81

Bruce owns a business that produces widgets.
He must bring in more in revenue than he pays
out in costs in order to turn a profit.
#7
Unit 1
 It costs $10 in labor and materials to make each of his widgets.
 His rent each month for his factory is $4000.
 He sells each widget for $25.
How many widgets does Bruce need to sell monthly to make a profit?
A.
B.
C.
D.
160
260
267
400
Revenue (in dollars)
from selling x widgets
R = 25x
Cost to make x widgets
C = 10x + 4000
Note: A profit occurs when enough widgets are
made and sold to break even. (i.e. R = C)
(Set up equation)
R = C
25x = 10x + 4000
