13 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 4 3-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?

75% Answer Correctly
8
7
1
9

Solution

There are 4 3-passenger taxis available so that's 4 x 3 = 12 total seats. There are 13 people needing transportation leaving 13 - 12 = 1 who will have to find other transportation.


2

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 2:1 and all 36,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

49% Answer Correctly
24,000
40,833
37,500
30,667

Solution

A ratio of 2:1 means that there are 2 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 3 fans, 2 are home fans and \( \frac{2}{3} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

36,000 fans x \( \frac{2}{3} \) = \( \frac{72000}{3} \) = 24,000 fans.

If there were a total of 150 raffle tickets sold and you bought 9 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
6%
19%
7%
4%

Solution

You have 9 out of the total of 150 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{9}{150} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{9 \times 100}{150} \) = \( \frac{900}{150} \) = 6% chance to win the raffle.

If all of a roofing company's 10 workers are required to staff 5 roofing crews, how many workers need to be added during the busy season in order to send 8 complete crews out on jobs?

55% Answer Correctly
6
16
11
18

Solution

In order to find how many additional workers are needed to staff the extra crews you first need to calculate how many workers are on a crew. There are 10 workers at the company now and that's enough to staff 5 crews so there are \( \frac{10}{5} \) = 2 workers on a crew. 8 crews are needed for the busy season which, at 2 workers per crew, means that the roofing company will need 8 x 2 = 16 total workers to staff the crews during the busy season. The company already employs 10 workers so they need to add 16 - 10 = 6 new staff for the busy season.


5

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

70% Answer Correctly
2
\(\frac{8}{9}\)
\(\frac{4}{5}\)
1

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:

\( \sqrt{\frac{81}{81}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{81}}{\sqrt{81}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{9^2}}{\sqrt{9^2}} \)
