In a class of 31 students, 15 are taking German and 10 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 2 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
19
17
24
8

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 15 + 10 = 25. Of that group of 25, 2 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 25 - 2 = 23 who are taking at least one language. 31 - 23 = 8 students who are not taking either language.

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 70% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
35%
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
20%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 70% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{70\text{%}}{2} \) = 35%


3

What is \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{18} \) + \( 6 \)\( \sqrt{2} \)

35% Answer Correctly
54\( \sqrt{9} \)
54\( \sqrt{2} \)
33\( \sqrt{2} \)
54\( \sqrt{36} \)

Solution

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

9\( \sqrt{18} \) + 6\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{9 \times 2} \) + 6\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 2} \) + 6\( \sqrt{2} \)
(9)(3)\( \sqrt{2} \) + 6\( \sqrt{2} \)
27\( \sqrt{2} \) + 6\( \sqrt{2} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

27\( \sqrt{2} \) + 6\( \sqrt{2} \)
(27 + 6)\( \sqrt{2} \)
33\( \sqrt{2} \)


4

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{25}{25}} \)?

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

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:

\( \sqrt{\frac{25}{25}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{25}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{5^2}}{\sqrt{5^2}} \)

4! = ?

85% Answer Correctly

3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.
