The correct answer is \(\frac{1}{3}, \frac{4}{9}, 55\%, 0.82\)
Change the numbers to decimal and then compare.
\(\frac{1}{3}=0.333\)…
\(0.82\)
\(55\% = 0.55\)
\(\frac{4}{9} =0.444\)...
Then:
\(\frac{1}{3} \ < \ \frac{4}{9} \ < \ 55\% \ < \ 0.82\)

13- Choice C is correct

The correct answer is \($756\)
Let \(x\) be all expenses, then \(\frac{22}{100 } \ x=$616\) \(→x=\frac{100 \ × \ $616}{22}=$2,800\)
He spent for his rent: \(\frac{27}{100} \ × \ $2,800=$756\)

14- Choice A is correct

The correct answer is \(6\) hours
The distance between Jason and Joe is \(9\) miles.
Jason running at \(5.5\) miles per hour and Joe is running at the speed of \(7\) miles per hour.
Therefore, every hour the distance is \(1.5\) miles less.
\(9 \ ÷ \ 1.5=6\)

15- Choice C is correct

The correct answer is \(80\%\)
The failing rate is \(12\) out of \(60 = \frac{12}{60}\)
Change the fraction to percent: \(\frac{12}{60} \ × \ 100\%=20\%\)
\(20\) percent of students failed.
Therefore, \(80\) percent of students passed the exam.

16- Choice B is correct

The correct answer is \($1,350\)
Use simple interest formula: \(I=prt\)
(\(I =\) interest, \(p =\) principal, \(r =\) rate, \(t =\) time)

17- Choice A is correct

The correct answer is \(192 \ x^8 \ y^6\)
\(3 \ x^2 \ y^3 \ (4 \ x^2 \ y)^3=\)
\(3 \ x^2 \ y^3 \ (64 \ x^6 \ y^3)=192 \ x^8 \ y^6\)

18- Choice A is correct

The correct answer is \(150 \ x \ + \ 12,000 \ ≤ \ 21,000\)
Let \(x \) be the number of new shoes the team can purchase. Therefore, the team can purchase \(150 \ x\).
The team had \($21,000\) and spent \($12,000\).
Now the team can spend on new shoes \($9,000\) at most.
Now, write the inequality: \(150 \ x \ + \ 12,000 \ ≤ \ 21,000\)

19- Choice B is correct

The correct answer is \(\frac{1}{6}\)
The probability of choosing a Hearts is \(\frac{12}{54}=\frac{1}{6}\)

20- Choice A is correct

The correct answer is \(38\%\)
The population is increased by \(15\%\) and \(20\%\).
\(15\%\) increase changes the population to \(115\%\) of original population.
For the second increase, multiply the result by \(120\%\).
\((1.15) \ × \ (1.20)=1.38=138\%\)
\(38\) percent of the population is increased after two years.

21- Choice D is correct

The correct answer is \(30\)
First, find the sum of five numbers.
average \(= \frac{sum \ of \ terms}{ number \ of \ terms} ⇒\)
\(26.4 = \frac{sum \ of \ 5 numbers}{5} ⇒\)
sum of \(5\) numbers \(= 26.4 \ × \ 5 = 132\)
The sum of \(5\) numbers is \(135\).
If a sixth number that is greater than \(42\) is added to these numbers, then the sum of \(6\) numbers must be greater than \(174\).
\(132 \ + \ 42 = 174\)
If the number was \(42\), then the average of the numbers is:
average \(= \frac{sum \ of \ terms}{ number \ of \ terms}=\frac{174}{6}=29\)
Since the number is bigger than \(42\).
Then, the average of six numbers must be greater than \(29\).
Choice D is greater than \(29\).

22- Choice D is correct

The correct answer is \(66 \ π\)
Surface Area of a cylinder \(= 2 \ π \ r \ (r \ + \ h)\)
The radius of the cylinder is \(3 \ (6 \ ÷ \ 2)\) inches and its height is \(8\) inches. Therefore,
Surface Area of a cylinder \(= 2 \ π \ (3) \ (3 \ + \ 8) = 66 \ π\)

23- Choice A is correct

The correct answer is \(\frac{216}{512}\)
The square of a number is \(\frac{36}{64}\), then the number is the square root of \(\frac{36}{64}\)
\(\sqrt{\frac{36}{64}}= \frac{6}{8}\)
The cube of the number is: \((\frac{6}{8})^3 = \frac{216}{512}\)

24- Choice B is correct

The correct answer is \( \frac{1}{4}\)

Solve for \(x\).
\(− \ 2 \ ≤ \ 2 \ x \ − \ 4 \ < \ 8 ⇒\) (add \(4\) all sides)
\(− \ 2 \ + \ 4 \ ≤ \ 2 \ x \ − \ 4 \ + \ 4 \ < \ 8 \ + \ 4 ⇒\)
\(2 \ ≤ \ 2 \ x \ <\ 12 ⇒\) (divide all sides by \(2\)) \(1 \ ≤ \ x \ < \ 6\)
\(x\) is between \(1\) and \(6\).
Choice D represent this inequality.

31- Choice A is correct

The correct answer is \(132\)
Let \(L\) be the length of the rectangular and \(W\) be the with of the rectangular.
Then, \(𝐿=3 \ π‘Š \ + \ 4\)
The perimeter of the rectangle is \(56\) meters.
Therefore: \(2 𝐿 \ + \ 2 \ π‘Š=56\)
\(𝐿 \ + \ π‘Š=28\)
Replace the value of \(L\) from the first equation into the second equation and solve for \(π‘Š: \ (3 \ π‘Š \ + \ 4) \ + \ π‘Š=28→4 \ π‘Š \ + \ 4 =28→4 \ π‘Š=24→π‘Š=6\)
The width of the rectangle is \(3\) meters and its length is: \(𝐿=3 \ W \ + \ 4=3 \ (6) \ + \ 4 =22\)
The area of the rectangle is: length \(×\) width \(= 22 \ × \ 6 = 132\)

34- Choice A is correct

The correct answer is \(x=- \ 1, y=5\)
Solving Systems of Equations by Elimination
Multiply the first equation by \((– \ 2)\), then add it to the second equation.
\(\cfrac{\begin{align} - \ 2 \ (2 \ x \ + \ 4 \ y=18) \\ 4 \ x \ - \ y= \ - \ 9 \end{align}}{} \Rightarrow\)
\(\cfrac{ \begin{align} - \ 4 \ x \ - \ 8 \ y = - \ 36 \\ 4 \ x \ - \ y= \ - \ 9\end{align} }{\begin{align} - \ 9\ y \ = - \ 45 \\ ⇒ y \ = 5 \end{align}} \)
Plug in the value of \(y\) into one of the equations and solve for \( x\).
\(2 \ x \ + \ 4 \ ( 5)=18 \Rightarrow 2 \ x = - \ 20 \ + \ 18 \Rightarrow 2 \ x=- \ 2 \Rightarrow x=- \ 1 \)

35- Choice A is correct

The correct answer is \(12,324\)
In the stadium the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is \(4:9\).
