1. The least common multiple of 8, 6 and 3 is ___?

a. 24 b. 48
CA. A. 24 <3
Rationalization: LCM (3, 6 and 8) = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 24. Also, dito rin sa 24 unang
nagtatagpo ang kanilang multiple kung gagamit tayo ng mahabang proseso like
the listing method.
3= 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24
6= 6, 12, 18, 24
8= 8, 16, 24

2. A 10 meter board leans against the wall, the foot of the board is 8 meters from
the wall. The foot of the board is 8 meters from the wall. How far up the wall does
the board reach?
a. 6 meters b. 4 meters
CA. A. 6 meters <3
Rationalization: we know that the hypotenuse is equal to 10 meters and the
other leg is 8 meters. To get the measurement of the other leg we will use the
Pythagorean theorem which is c2 = a2 + b2 wherein c= 10 meters and b= 8 meters
102 = a2 + 82
100= a2 + 64
100-64= a2 + 64-64 (Addition Property of Equality (APE))
a2 = 100-64
a2 = 36 (Extracting the square)
a= 6 meters
therefore, 6 meters ang haba ng isang leg. Also, kailangan din natin tandaan ang
mga Pythagorean triple kagaya ng (6, 8, 10), (12, 16, 20), (3, 4, 5), (9, 12, 15)

3. Karlo had an average of 70% in his first two test and an average of 80% in his
next three tests. The average for his five tests is ____?

a. 80% b. 76%
 CA. B. 76 <3
Rationalization ((70x2) + (80x3))/5 - - - - (140+240)/5 - - - - 380/5= 76%
4. Bernadette’s aquarium has a length, width, and height of 10 cm, 8 cm, and 6 cm
respectively. Find its volume?

a. 240 cubic centimeters b. 480 cubic centimeters

CA. B. 480 cubic centimeters <3

Rationalization: alam naman natin na ang hugis ng isang aquarium ay isang

rectangular prism. At sa pagkuha ng kanyang volume gagamitin natin ang
formula na --- Volume of rectangular prism= LWH (l*w*h)
So, V= 10cm*8cm*6cm
Therefore, the volume of Bernadette’s aquarium is 480 cubic centimeters.

5. The least common multiple of 5, 2, 7 is ____?

a. 35 b. 70

CA. B. 70 <3
Rationalization: since ang mga given natin ay mga prime numbers na kung saan
ang kanyang factors bawat isa ay 1 at itself. So, dito ididirect multiply lang natin
silang tatlo, 2*5*7 is 70. Therefore, the lcm of (2,5,7) is 70. Kapag kukuha kayo
ng LCM pwede kayo gumamit ng LISTING METHOD, PRIME FACTORIZATION
METHOD AT DIVISION METHOD.

6. What is the amount due on Php 8000 after adding the annual interest of 9%?
a. Php 9 720 b. Php 8 720
CA. B. Php 8 720 <3
Rationalization: sa tanong na to gagamitin natin ang formula ng pagkuha sa
simple annual interest which is A= P(1+rt) where A is the amount due, P is the
principal, r is the rate and t is the time. So, A= 8000(1+(0.09*1)), A=
8000(1+0.09), A= 8000(1.09), A= Php 8 720. Therefore, the amount due after
 annual interest is Php 8 720.00. Pwede rin gamitin ang I=PRT pero kailangan
ang interest ay iaadd sa principal. I=8000(0.09)(1) ----- I= Php 720 so, A=
8000+720 which is equal to Php 8 720. Depende lang sa inyo kung saan kayo
comfortable pero dapat hindi time consuming.
7. Ms. Tadle weighted 62 kg. she lost 3 kg. on her first week of exercise, gained 4
kg on her second week, lost 5 kg. on the third week and retained her weight
during the fourth week. What was her weight on the fourth week in kg.?

a. 62 kg b. 58 kg
CA. B. 58 kg <3
Rationalization: dito 62+(-3+4-5) --- 62+(-4). Therefore, ang kanyang timbang is
58 kg.

8. In SHS class composed of 40 students, 16 chose to take ABM track, and the rest
selected the STEM track. The total who selected stem was ____.
a. 32 b. 24

CA. B. 24 <3
Rationalization: dito we simply minus 16 from 40. So, 40-16 is 24. Therefore,
there are 24 students took STEM track.
9. What is the exponent of the expression 13x^2 + y?

a. 2 b. x
CA. A. 2 <3
Rationalization: decode: (^) means raise to a certain power, dito ang numero na
may malaking power yon ang exponent. So, 2 is the exponent
10. The prime factors of 56 are ____?

a. 7,4,2 b. 7,2,2,2

CA. B. 7,2,2,2 <3

Rationalization: recall: pagsinabing prime meaning ang factor niya ay ang sarili at
1. Sa tanong gagamit tayo ng prime factorization, factor tree or listing method ng
 mga prime factors depende saan nyo comfortable. So, ang prime factors ng 56
ay 7,2,2,2 at hindi 7,4,2 dahil alam naman natin na ang 4 is composite(meaning
may maraming factors) kaya ang sagot ay B.

11. The greatest common divisor or GCD of 24, 18 and 3 is _____?

a. 6 b. 3

CA. B. 3 <3
Rationalization: dito gagamit lang tayo ng titig method. Alam naman natin na ang
3 is a prime number. So dito ang sagot ay 3. Pwede rin tayo gumamit ng prime
factorization or listing method kung saan kukunin natin yong common divisor
nilang tatlo. At dito ang common divisor nila is 3.
3= 3,1
18= 18, 9, 6, 3, 2, 1
24= 24, 12, 8, 6, 4, 3, 2,1

12. Interest at 8% after 3 months on Php 6 000?

a. Php 150 b. Php 120

CA. B. Php 120 <3

Rationalization: sa tanong na to gagamitin natin ang formula ng pagkuha sa
simple annual interest which is I=PRT where I is the interest, P is the principal, R
is the rate, and T is the time. So, I=6000*0.08*(3/12, ¼ or 0.25). I= Php 120.
Kung nagtataka kayo kung bakit 3/12, ¼ or 0.25 ang ginamit, ito ay dahil 3
months lang. Alam naman natin na sa tanong walang nakasaad na particular na
time kung kaya matik na ang kukunin ay ang annual interest (annual or yearly) at
sa isang taon ay mayroong 12 months kung kaya 3/12, ¼ o 0.25 ang ginamit.
Therefore, B is the answer.
13. If the side of a square is increased by 4 cm, the area is increased by 40 square
cm. The length of a side of the original square is ___?

a. 3 cm b. 4 cm
CA. A. 3 cm <3
Rationalization:
TAE METHOD
Option b
42 = 16
(4+4) 2 = 64
64-16= 48 so hindi ito
Option a
32 = 9
(3+4)2 = 49
49-9= 40 so option a is the answer

Mathematical method
Let x be the original side
Area of square is equal to x2
X+4 the new length if increased by 4
(x+4)2 = x2 +40
(x2 - x2)+8x+(16-16)=( x2 - x2)+(40-16) using APE
8x=24
X= 3 cm
Therefore, the original length of the side of the square is 3 cm which is option A.
