1

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

70% Answer Correctly

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({2 \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.


2

Solve 2 + (3 + 3) ÷ 3 x 2 - 22

53% Answer Correctly
1
1\(\frac{3}{5}\)
2
2\(\frac{1}{4}\)

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

2 + (3 + 3) ÷ 3 x 2 - 22
P: 2 + (6) ÷ 3 x 2 - 22
E: 2 + 6 ÷ 3 x 2 - 4
MD: 2 + \( \frac{6}{3} \) x 2 - 4
MD: 2 + \( \frac{12}{3} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{6}{3} \) + \( \frac{12}{3} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{18}{3} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{18 - 12}{3} \)
\( \frac{6}{3} \)

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
30%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

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%


4

Which of these numbers is a factor of 40?

69% Answer Correctly
28
20
40
32

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 40 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40.


5

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 140 pounds of food in 10 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 196 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
11
8
4
14

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 140 pounds of food in 10 days that's \( \frac{140}{10} \) = 14 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 196 - 140 = 56 more pounds of food to reach 196 pounds total. At 14 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{56}{14} \) = 4 more days.
