How many 11-passenger vans will it take to drive all 76 members of the football team to an away game?

80% Answer Correctly
6 vans
7 vans
4 vans
3 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{76}{11} \) = 6\(\frac{10}{11}\)

So, it will take 6 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 7 vans.

What is \( \frac{3}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{6} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{49}\)
\(\frac{9}{10}\)
\(\frac{2}{5}\)
\(\frac{1}{9}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{3}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{6} \) = \( \frac{3}{5} \) x \( \frac{6}{4} \)

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

\( \frac{3}{5} \) x \( \frac{6}{4} \) = \( \frac{3 x 6}{5 x 4} \) = \( \frac{18}{20} \) = \(\frac{9}{10}\)


4

What is \( \frac{-8x^8}{4x^2} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
-2x6
-2x4
-2x16
-2x-6

Solution

To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

\( \frac{-8x^8}{4x^2} \)
\( \frac{-8}{4} \) x(8 - 2)
-2x6

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 3:1 and all 30,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
28,800
22,500
33,600
39,200

Solution

A ratio of 3:1 means that there are 3 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 4 fans, 3 are home fans and \( \frac{3}{4} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

30,000 fans x \( \frac{3}{4} \) = \( \frac{90000}{4} \) = 22,500 fans.
