1

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 72 pounds of food in 6 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 120 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
6
4
7
10

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 72 pounds of food in 6 days that's \( \frac{72}{6} \) = 12 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 120 - 72 = 48 more pounds of food to reach 120 pounds total. At 12 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{48}{12} \) = 4 more days.


2

What is \( \frac{14\sqrt{8}}{2\sqrt{4}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
7 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{2} \)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{7} \)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{14\sqrt{8}}{2\sqrt{4}} \)
\( \frac{14}{2} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{8}{4}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{2} \)


3

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 1 hour at an average speed of 35 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
180 miles
65 miles
245 miles
35 miles

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 35mph \times 1h \)
35 miles

A bread recipe calls for 2 cups of flour. If you only have 1\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups
\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups
3 cups
2\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (2 - 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{16}{8} \) - \( \frac{10}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{6}{8} \) cups
\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups


5

What is the least common multiple of 6 and 10?

72% Answer Correctly
30
56
16
26

Solution

The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 10 are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [30, 60, 90] making 30 the smallest multiple 6 and 10 have in common.
