If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 4:1 and all 39,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
38,400
28,667
31,200
39,200

Solution

A ratio of 4:1 means that there are 4 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 5 fans, 4 are home fans and \( \frac{4}{5} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

39,000 fans x \( \frac{4}{5} \) = \( \frac{156000}{5} \) = 31,200 fans.

Simplify \( \sqrt{27} \)

62% Answer Correctly
5\( \sqrt{6} \)
5\( \sqrt{3} \)
4\( \sqrt{3} \)
3\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{27} \)
\( \sqrt{9 \times 3} \)
\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 3} \)
3\( \sqrt{3} \)

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

59% Answer Correctly

distributive

associative

commutative

PEDMAS


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.


4

Which of the following is not a prime number?

64% Answer Correctly

7

2

9

5

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 55% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

50% Answer Correctly
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
35%

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 55% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{55\text{%}}{2} \) = 27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
