2

In a class of 27 students, 7 are taking German and 14 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
14
8
12
17

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 7 + 14 = 21. Of that group of 21, 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 21 - 2 = 19 who are taking at least one language. 27 - 19 = 8 students who are not taking either language.


3

If there were a total of 400 raffle tickets sold and you bought 36 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
6%
14%
11%
9%

Solution

You have 36 out of the total of 400 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{36}{400} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{36 \times 100}{400} \) = \( \frac{3600}{400} \) = 9% chance to win the raffle.


4

What is -5a5 x 3a5?

75% Answer Correctly
-15a5
-2a5
-2a25
-15a10

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

-5a5 x 3a5
(-5 x 3)a(5 + 5)
-15a10


5

How many 15-passenger vans will it take to drive all 58 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
5 vans
3 vans
8 vans
4 vans

Solution

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

vans = \( \frac{58}{15} \) = 3\(\frac{13}{15}\)

So, it will take 3 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 4 vans.
