1

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 35% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

50% Answer Correctly
35%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
20%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 35% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{35\text{%}}{2} \) = 17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


2

Convert z-3 to remove the negative exponent.

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{z^3} \)
\( \frac{-1}{z^{-3}} \)
\( \frac{-3}{z} \)
\( \frac{-1}{-3z^{3}} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.


3

What is \( \frac{2}{7} \) ÷ \( \frac{2}{9} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{4}{27}\)
1\(\frac{2}{7}\)
\(\frac{1}{12}\)
\(\frac{8}{35}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{2}{7} \) ÷ \( \frac{2}{9} \) = \( \frac{2}{7} \) x \( \frac{9}{2} \)

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

\( \frac{2}{7} \) x \( \frac{9}{2} \) = \( \frac{2 x 9}{7 x 2} \) = \( \frac{18}{14} \) = 1\(\frac{2}{7}\)


4

A factor is a positive __________ that divides evenly into a given number.

78% Answer Correctly

integer

fraction

improper fraction

mixed number


Solution

A factor is a positive integer that divides evenly into a given number. For example, the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.


5

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 7 hours at an average speed of 25 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
390 miles
100 miles
70 miles
175 miles

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 25mph \times 7h \)
175 miles
