If there were a total of 150 raffle tickets sold and you bought 4 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
6%
15%
12%
3%

Solution

You have 4 out of the total of 150 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{4}{150} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{4 \times 100}{150} \) = \( \frac{400}{150} \) = 3% chance to win the raffle.


2

What is \( \frac{4}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{2}{5} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{3}{25}\)
\(\frac{1}{16}\)
2
4

Solution

To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:

\( \frac{4}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{2}{5} \) = \( \frac{4}{5} \) x \( \frac{5}{2} \)

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

\( \frac{4}{5} \) x \( \frac{5}{2} \) = \( \frac{4 x 5}{5 x 2} \) = \( \frac{20}{10} \) = 2


3

What is \( 6 \)\( \sqrt{48} \) - \( 8 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

38% Answer Correctly
-2\( \sqrt{16} \)
-2\( \sqrt{48} \)
-2\( \sqrt{144} \)
16\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

To subtract these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

6\( \sqrt{48} \) - 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
6\( \sqrt{16 \times 3} \) - 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
6\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 3} \) - 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
(6)(4)\( \sqrt{3} \) - 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
24\( \sqrt{3} \) - 8\( \sqrt{3} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:

24\( \sqrt{3} \) - 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
(24 - 8)\( \sqrt{3} \)
16\( \sqrt{3} \)

Monty loaned Christine $1,300 at an annual interest rate of 2%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$1,326
$1,417
$1,365
$1,404

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $1,300
i = 0.02 x $1,300

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $1,300 + $26
total = $1,326


5

What is 5a7 x a4?

75% Answer Correctly
5a11
5a4
6a7
5a-3

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

5a7 x a4
(5 x 1)a(7 + 4)
5a11
