**Question 4:**
Write $\frac{20}{50}$ as a percentage.
**Question 5:**
What is $90\%$ of $89$?
**Question 6:**
For a moving object, the force acting on the object varies directly with the object's acceleration. When a force of $6$ N acts on a certain object, the acceleration of the object is $3$ m/s$^2$. If the force is changed to $20$ N, what will be the acceleration of the object?
**Question 7:**
An item is regularly priced at $90$. It is now priced at a discount of $60\%$ off the regular price. What is the price now?
**Question 8:**
The perimeter of the rectangle below is $166$ units. Find the length of side WX. Write your answer without variables.
**Chart/Diagram Description (for Question 8):**
* **Type:** Geometric figure (rectangle).
* **Main Elements:**
* A rectangle is shown with vertices labeled V, W, X, and Y.
* The side VY is labeled with the expression $5y - 1$.
* The side YX is labeled with the expression $4y + 3$.
* Vertices are ordered clockwise starting from bottom-left: V, W, X, Y. Thus, VY and WX are opposite sides (length), and VW and YX are opposite sides (width).
* The image implies VW has length $4y+3$ and WX has length $5y-1$. (Based on typical rectangle labeling and appearance).
**Question 9:**
Find the area of the figure (sides meet at right angles).
**Chart/Diagram Description (for Question 9):**
* **Type:** Geometric figure (composite shape).
* **Main Elements:**
* An irregular polygon is shown, composed of connected line segments. All corners appear to be right angles.
* The shape resembles a thick 'L' or a rectangle with a smaller rectangle removed from one corner.
* Side lengths are labeled:
* The top-most horizontal segment is labeled $4$ yd.
* The vertical segment below the left end of the $4$ yd segment is labeled $3$ yd.
* The horizontal segment to the left of the bottom end of the $3$ yd segment is labeled $3$ yd.
* The vertical segment below the left end of the $3$ yd segment is labeled $3$ yd.
* The horizontal segment to the left of the bottom end of the $3$ yd segment is labeled $3$ yd.
* The vertical segment connecting the bottom-left corner to the shape above is labeled $3$ yd.
* There are unlabeled segments on the right side of the shape. Based on the right angles and labeled sides:
* The vertical segment directly below the right end of the $4$ yd segment is labeled $3$ yd.
* The horizontal segment to the right of the bottom end of this $3$ yd segment is labeled $3$ yd.
* The vertical segment below the right end of this $3$ yd segment is labeled $3$ yd.
* All labeled segments are either 3 yd or 4 yd.
**Question 10:**
Find the circumference and the area of a circle with radius $3$ yd. Use $3.14$ for $\pi$, and do not round your answers. Be sure to include the correct units in your answers.
**Question 11:**
A circle has radius of $8$ in. Find the length $s$ of the arc intercepted by a central angle of $0.9$ radians. Do not round any intermediate computations, but round your answer to the nearest tenth.
**Question 12:**
Write an equation that expresses the following relationship: $u$ varies jointly with $p$ and $d$ and inversely with $w$. In your equation use $k$ as the constant of proportionality.

Welcome to this math placement exam practice session! Today we'll cover two main sections: Whole Numbers, Fractions, and Decimals, and Percents, Proportions, and Geometry. We'll work through 12 questions step by step, explaining the concepts and solving methods. Let's get started!
Let's solve our first question: Compute 8.3 minus 11.2 minus 2. We work from left to right. First, 8.3 minus 11.2. Since 8.3 is less than 11.2, our result will be negative. We calculate 11.2 minus 8.3 equals 2.9, so 8.3 minus 11.2 equals negative 2.9. Next, negative 2.9 minus 2 equals negative 4.9. Therefore, our answer is negative 4.9.
Now let's solve questions 2 and 3 involving fraction operations. For question 2, multiply 5/2 times 3/10. We multiply numerators: 5 times 3 equals 15, and denominators: 2 times 10 equals 20. Then simplify 15/20 by dividing both by 5 to get 3/4. For question 3, divide 11/14 by 5/6. Division by a fraction means multiply by its reciprocal, so we have 11/14 times 6/5. This gives us 66/70, which simplifies to 33/35 after dividing by 2.
Let's solve questions 4 through 7 on percentages and applications. Question 4: Convert 20/50 to percentage. Divide 20 by 50 to get 0.4, then multiply by 100 for 40%. Question 5: Find 90% of 89. Convert 90% to 0.9 and multiply by 89 to get 80.1. Question 6: Force varies directly with acceleration. Using F equals k times a, when force is 6 and acceleration is 3, k equals 2. So when force is 20, acceleration is 10. Question 7: Item costs 90 dollars with 60% discount. Pay 40% of original price: 0.4 times 90 equals 36 dollars.
Let's finish with the geometry questions. Question 8: Rectangle with perimeter 166 units. Length is 5y minus 1, width is 4y plus 3. Using perimeter formula, we get 18y plus 4 equals 166, so y equals 9. Therefore WX equals 44 units. Question 10: Circle with radius 3 yards. Circumference equals 2 pi r equals 18.84 yards. Area equals pi r squared equals 28.26 square yards. Question 12: Joint and inverse variation gives us u equals k times p d over w. Great job completing this practice session!
