What is \( \frac{1}{8} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{5} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{4}{15}\)
\(\frac{1}{21}\)
\(\frac{8}{21}\)
\(\frac{5}{32}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{1}{8} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{5} \) = \( \frac{1}{8} \) x \( \frac{5}{4} \)

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

\( \frac{1}{8} \) x \( \frac{5}{4} \) = \( \frac{1 x 5}{8 x 4} \) = \( \frac{5}{32} \) = \(\frac{5}{32}\)

3

What is \( \frac{56\sqrt{6}}{8\sqrt{3}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
7 \( \sqrt{2} \)
2 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{7} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{56\sqrt{6}}{8\sqrt{3}} \)
\( \frac{56}{8} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{6}{3}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{2} \)

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 20% off." If Damon buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $34, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$15.30
$11.90
$8.50
$6.80

Solution

By buying two shirts, Damon will save $34 x \( \frac{20}{100} \) = \( \frac{$34 x 20}{100} \) = \( \frac{$680}{100} \) = $6.80 on the second shirt.

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 60% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
25%
35%
30%
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

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 60% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{60\text{%}}{2} \) = 30%
