A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 5 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 5 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?

53% Answer Correctly
7:8
3:6
1:4
25:2

Solution

The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 5:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 5:1. To solve this problem, we need the baseball card side of each ratio to be equal so we need to rewrite the ratios in terms of a common number of baseball cards. (Think of this like finding the common denominator when adding fractions.) The ratio of football to baseball cards can also be written as 25:10 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 10:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 25:10, 10:2 which reduces to 25:2.

What is 2z5 + 9z5?

66% Answer Correctly
7z5
11z-10
11z10
11z5

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so add the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

2z5 + 9z5
(2 + 9)z5
11z5

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 35% off." If Charlie buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $19, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$25.65
$31.35
$23.75
$28.50

Solution

By buying two shirts, Charlie will save $19 x \( \frac{35}{100} \) = \( \frac{$19 x 35}{100} \) = \( \frac{$665}{100} \) = $6.65 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$19.00 + ($19.00 - $6.65)
$19.00 + $12.35
$31.35

What is \( \frac{56\sqrt{20}}{8\sqrt{4}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{7} \)
5 \( \sqrt{7} \)
7 \( \sqrt{5} \)
7 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{56\sqrt{20}}{8\sqrt{4}} \)
\( \frac{56}{8} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{20}{4}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{5} \)
