1- Choice B is correct

The correct answer is \(10\)
Write the numbers in order:
\(3, 5, 8, 10, 13, 15, 19\)
Since we have \(7\) numbers (\(7\) is odd), then the median is the number in the middle, which is \(10\).

2- Choice E is correct

The correct answer is \(50\) cm\(^2\)
The diagonal of the square is \(10\). 
Let \(x\) be the side. 
Use Pythagorean Theorem: \(a^2 \ + \ b^2 = c^2\)
\(x^2 \ + \ x^2 = 10^2 ⇒\)
\(2 \ x^2 = 10^2 ⇒\)
\(2 \ x^2 = 100⇒\)
\(x^2 = 50 ⇒x= \sqrt{50}\)
The area of the square is: \(\sqrt{50} \ × \ \sqrt{50} = 50\)

3- Choice B is correct

The correct answer is \(6\)
Let’s review the options provided.
A. \(4\). In \(4\) years, David will be \(46\) and Ava will be \(10\). \(46\) is not \(4\) times \(10\).
B. \(6\). In \(6\) years, David will be \(48\) and Ava will be \(12\). \(48\) is \(4\) times \(12\)!
C. \(8\). In \(8\) years, David will be \(80\) and Ava will be \(14\). \(50\) is not \(4\) times \(14\).
D. \(10\). In \(10\) years, David will be \(52\) and Ava will be \(16\). \(52\) is not \(4\) times \(16\).
E. \(14\). In \(14\) years, David will be \(56\) and Ava will be \(20\). \(56\) is not \(4\) times \(20\).

4- Choice D is correct

The correct answer is \(7\) hours and \(12\) minutes
Use distance formula:
Distance \(=\) Rate \(×\) time \(⇒ 360 = 50 \ ×\) T, divide both sides by \(50\).
\(\frac{360 }{50} =\) T \(⇒\) T \(= 7.2\) hours.
Change hours to minutes for the decimal part.
\(0.2\) hours \(= 0.2 \ ×\ 60 = 12\) minutes.

5- Choice A is correct

The correct answer is \(0.77\) D
To find the discount, multiply the number by (\(100\% \ –\) rate of discount).
Therefore, for the first discount we get: (D) \((100\% \ – \ 30\%) =\) (D) \((0.70) = 0.70\) D
For increase of \(10\%\): (\(0.70\) D) \((100\% \ + \ 10\%) = (0.70\) D\() (1.10) = 0.77\) D \(= 77\%\) of D

6- Choice D is correct

The correct answer is \(\frac{5}{6} \ > \ 0.8\)
Check each option.
A. \(\frac{3}{4} \ > \ 0.8\)      \(\frac{3}{4}=0.75\) and it is less than \(0.8\). Not true!
B. \(10\% = \frac{2}{5}\)      \(10\% = \frac{1}{10} \ < \ \frac{2}{5}\). Not True!
C. \(3 \ < \ \frac{5}{2}\)         \(\frac{5}{2}=2.5 \ < \ 3\). Not True!
D. \(\frac{5}{6} \ > \ 0.8\)      \(\frac{5}{6}=0.8333\)… and it is greater than \(0.8\). Bingo!

Solve for \(x\). 
\(\frac{2 \ x}{18}=\frac{x \ - \ 2}{6}\).
Multiply the second fraction by \(3\).
\(\frac{2 \ x}{18}=\frac{3 \ (x \ - \ 2)}{6 \ × \ 3}\)

Now, find \(f(3 \ g(p))\):
\(f(x)=3^{ \ x}\)
\(f(\log_{3}{p}^{ \ 3} )=3^{\log_{3}{p}^{ \ 3}}\)
Logarithms and exponentials with the same base cancel each other.
