If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 2:1 and all 33,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
40,000
24,667
39,167
22,000

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:

33,000 fans x \( \frac{2}{3} \) = \( \frac{66000}{3} \) = 22,000 fans.

What is \( \frac{3}{8} \) + \( \frac{5}{12} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
1 \( \frac{7}{24} \)
\( \frac{9}{24} \)
\(\frac{19}{24}\)
1 \( \frac{2}{6} \)

Solution

To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 8 are [8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80] and the first few multiples of 12 are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96]. The first few multiples they share are [24, 48, 72, 96] making 24 the smallest multiple 8 and 12 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{3 x 3}{8 x 3} \) + \( \frac{5 x 2}{12 x 2} \)

\( \frac{9}{24} \) + \( \frac{10}{24} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:

\( \frac{9 + 10}{24} \) = \( \frac{19}{24} \) = \(\frac{19}{24}\)

Convert 0.0003503 to scientific notation.

62% Answer Correctly
0.35 x 10-3
3.503 x 105
35.03 x 10-5
3.503 x 10-4

Solution

A number in scientific notation has the format 0.000 x 10exponent. To convert to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the right or the left until the number is a decimal between 1 and 10. The exponent of the 10 is the number of places you moved the decimal point and is positive if you moved the decimal point to the left and negative if you moved it to the right:

0.0003503 in scientific notation is 3.503 x 10-4

Solve 3 + (5 + 2) ÷ 5 x 3 - 52

52% Answer Correctly
-17\(\frac{4}{5}\)
\(\frac{3}{8}\)
1\(\frac{1}{8}\)
\(\frac{4}{9}\)

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

3 + (5 + 2) ÷ 5 x 3 - 52
P: 3 + (7) ÷ 5 x 3 - 52
E: 3 + 7 ÷ 5 x 3 - 25
MD: 3 + \( \frac{7}{5} \) x 3 - 25
MD: 3 + \( \frac{21}{5} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{15}{5} \) + \( \frac{21}{5} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{36}{5} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{36 - 125}{5} \)
\( \frac{-89}{5} \)
-17\(\frac{4}{5}\)
