The total water usage for a city is 10,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 11% is for personal use and 31% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
3,900
2,000
5,600
3,600

Solution

31% of the water consumption is industrial use and 11% is personal use so (31% - 11%) = 20% more water is used for industrial purposes. 10,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{20}{100} \) x 10,000 gallons = 2,000 gallons.

What is \( \frac{1}{5} \) x \( \frac{2}{9} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{9}\)
\(\frac{2}{45}\)
\(\frac{2}{5}\)
\(\frac{1}{18}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{1}{5} \) x \( \frac{2}{9} \) = \( \frac{1 x 2}{5 x 9} \) = \( \frac{2}{45} \) = \(\frac{2}{45}\)

A bread recipe calls for 2 cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{7}{8}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups
1\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups
1\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (2 - \(\frac{7}{8}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{16}{8} \) - \( \frac{7}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{9}{8} \) cups
1\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups
