1

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 56 pounds of food in 8 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 98 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
14
6
10
4

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 56 pounds of food in 8 days that's \( \frac{56}{8} \) = 7 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 98 - 56 = 42 more pounds of food to reach 98 pounds total. At 7 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{42}{7} \) = 6 more days.

3

If a mayor is elected with 55% of the votes cast and 38% of a town's 50,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
10,450
12,920
16,340
10,070

Solution

If 38% of the town's 50,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{38}{100} \)) x 50,000 = \( \frac{1,900,000}{100} \) = 19,000

The mayor got 55% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{55}{100} \)) x 19,000 = \( \frac{1,045,000}{100} \) = 10,450 votes.

The total water usage for a city is 50,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 12% is for personal use and 27% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
10,200
2,600
13,050
7,500

Solution

27% of the water consumption is industrial use and 12% is personal use so (27% - 12%) = 15% more water is used for industrial purposes. 50,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{15}{100} \) x 50,000 gallons = 7,500 gallons.


5

What is \( \frac{14\sqrt{36}}{7\sqrt{9}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
4 \( \sqrt{2} \)
2 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \)
\(\frac{1}{4}\) \( \sqrt{2} \)
2 \( \sqrt{4} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{14\sqrt{36}}{7\sqrt{9}} \)
\( \frac{14}{7} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{36}{9}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{4} \)
