A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 75% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

50% Answer Correctly
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
30%
25%
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 75% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{75\text{%}}{2} \) = 37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

Christine scored 94% on her final exam. If each question was worth 2 points and there were 140 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Christine answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
59
54
64
66

Solution

Christine scored 94% on the test meaning she earned 94% of the possible points on the test. There were 140 possible points on the test so she earned 140 x 0.94 = 132 points. Each question is worth 2 points so she got \( \frac{132}{2} \) = 66 questions right.


3

a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

commutative property for multiplication

distributive property for division

distributive property for multiplication

commutative property for division


Solution

The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.


4

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({a \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)


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.


5

What is \( 8 \)\( \sqrt{12} \) + \( 3 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

35% Answer Correctly
11\( \sqrt{36} \)
24\( \sqrt{3} \)
19\( \sqrt{3} \)
11\( \sqrt{4} \)

Solution

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

8\( \sqrt{12} \) + 3\( \sqrt{3} \)
8\( \sqrt{4 \times 3} \) + 3\( \sqrt{3} \)
8\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 3} \) + 3\( \sqrt{3} \)
(8)(2)\( \sqrt{3} \) + 3\( \sqrt{3} \)
16\( \sqrt{3} \) + 3\( \sqrt{3} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

16\( \sqrt{3} \) + 3\( \sqrt{3} \)
(16 + 3)\( \sqrt{3} \)
19\( \sqrt{3} \)
