1

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 30 pounds of food in 5 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 60 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
5
6
7
4

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 30 pounds of food in 5 days that's \( \frac{30}{5} \) = 6 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 60 - 30 = 30 more pounds of food to reach 60 pounds total. At 6 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{30}{6} \) = 5 more days.


2

A bread recipe calls for 2\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{1}{2}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups
2\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups
3\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (2\(\frac{7}{8}\) - \(\frac{1}{2}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{23}{8} \) - \( \frac{4}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{19}{8} \) cups
2\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups


3

What is \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{27} \) - \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

38% Answer Correctly
20\( \sqrt{3} \)
20\( \sqrt{81} \)
-1\( \sqrt{0} \)
7\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

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

4\( \sqrt{27} \) - 5\( \sqrt{3} \)
4\( \sqrt{9 \times 3} \) - 5\( \sqrt{3} \)
4\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 3} \) - 5\( \sqrt{3} \)
(4)(3)\( \sqrt{3} \) - 5\( \sqrt{3} \)
12\( \sqrt{3} \) - 5\( \sqrt{3} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:

12\( \sqrt{3} \) - 5\( \sqrt{3} \)
(12 - 5)\( \sqrt{3} \)
7\( \sqrt{3} \)


4

5

Find the average of the following numbers: 14, 10, 15, 9.

74% Answer Correctly
12
9
8
15

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{14 + 10 + 15 + 9}{4} \) = \( \frac{48}{4} \) = 12
