How many 7-passenger vans will it take to drive all 83 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
3 vans
9 vans
8 vans
12 vans

Solution

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

vans = \( \frac{83}{7} \) = 11\(\frac{6}{7}\)

So, it will take 11 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 12 vans.

4

If \( \left|c - 8\right| \) + 4 = 8, which of these is a possible value for c?

62% Answer Correctly
-1
4
-8
-3

Solution

First, solve for \( \left|c - 8\right| \):

\( \left|c - 8\right| \) + 4 = 8
\( \left|c - 8\right| \) = 8 - 4
\( \left|c - 8\right| \) = 4

The value inside the absolute value brackets can be either positive or negative so (c - 8) must equal + 4 or -4 for \( \left|c - 8\right| \) to equal 4:

c - 8 = 4
c = 4 + 8
c = 12
c - 8 = -4
c = -4 + 8
c = 4

So, c = 4 or c = 12.


5

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{81}{49}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{4}{9}\)
1\(\frac{3}{5}\)
1\(\frac{2}{7}\)

Solution

To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:

\( \sqrt{\frac{81}{49}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{81}}{\sqrt{49}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{9^2}}{\sqrt{7^2}} \)
\( \frac{9}{7} \)
1\(\frac{2}{7}\)
