How many 11-passenger vans will it take to drive all 76 members of the football team to an away game?
| 6 vans | |
| 7 vans | |
| 4 vans | |
| 3 vans |
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 \( \frac{3}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{6} \)?
| \(\frac{2}{49}\) | |
| \(\frac{9}{10}\) | |
| \(\frac{2}{5}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{9}\) |
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 \( \frac{6}{4} \) = \( \frac{3 x 6}{5 x 4} \) = \( \frac{18}{20} \) = \(\frac{9}{10}\)
What is \( \frac{-8x^8}{4x^2} \)?
| -2x6 | |
| -2x4 | |
| -2x16 | |
| -2x-6 |
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?
| 28,800 | |
| 22,500 | |
| 33,600 | |
| 39,200 |
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.
