1

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 45% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

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

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 45% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{45\text{%}}{2} \) = 22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


2

Which of these numbers is a factor of 64?

68% Answer Correctly
4
7
61
5

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 64 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64.


3

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 33 pounds of food in 3 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 110 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
7
9
3
4

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 33 pounds of food in 3 days that's \( \frac{33}{3} \) = 11 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 110 - 33 = 77 more pounds of food to reach 110 pounds total. At 11 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{77}{11} \) = 7 more days.

What is \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{45} \) + \( 8 \)\( \sqrt{5} \)

35% Answer Correctly
12\( \sqrt{225} \)
20\( \sqrt{5} \)
32\( \sqrt{225} \)
32\( \sqrt{5} \)

Solution

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

4\( \sqrt{45} \) + 8\( \sqrt{5} \)
4\( \sqrt{9 \times 5} \) + 8\( \sqrt{5} \)
4\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 5} \) + 8\( \sqrt{5} \)
(4)(3)\( \sqrt{5} \) + 8\( \sqrt{5} \)
12\( \sqrt{5} \) + 8\( \sqrt{5} \)

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

12\( \sqrt{5} \) + 8\( \sqrt{5} \)
(12 + 8)\( \sqrt{5} \)
20\( \sqrt{5} \)


5

What is -5z7 x 9z3?

75% Answer Correctly
4z10
-45z-4
-45z10
-45z4

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:

-5z7 x 9z3
(-5 x 9)z(7 + 3)
-45z10
