2

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 110 pounds of food in 10 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 154 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
9
6
13
4

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 110 pounds of food in 10 days that's \( \frac{110}{10} \) = 11 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 154 - 110 = 44 more pounds of food to reach 154 pounds total. At 11 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{44}{11} \) = 4 more days.


3

What is \( \frac{6}{2} \) - \( \frac{8}{10} \)?

61% Answer Correctly
2 \( \frac{3}{7} \)
2 \( \frac{6}{9} \)
2 \( \frac{2}{9} \)
2\(\frac{1}{5}\)

Solution

To subtract these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 2 are [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20] and the first few multiples of 10 are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50] making 10 the smallest multiple 2 and 10 share.

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

\( \frac{6 x 5}{2 x 5} \) - \( \frac{8 x 1}{10 x 1} \)

\( \frac{30}{10} \) - \( \frac{8}{10} \)

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

\( \frac{30 - 8}{10} \) = \( \frac{22}{10} \) = 2\(\frac{1}{5}\)


4

Diane scored 96% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 210 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Diane answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
81
67
63
57

Solution

Diane scored 96% on the test meaning she earned 96% of the possible points on the test. There were 210 possible points on the test so she earned 210 x 0.96 = 201 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{201}{3} \) = 67 questions right.


5

What is \( \frac{3}{8} \) ÷ \( \frac{3}{9} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{8}\)
\(\frac{1}{18}\)
\(\frac{3}{10}\)
9

Solution

To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:

\( \frac{3}{8} \) ÷ \( \frac{3}{9} \) = \( \frac{3}{8} \) x \( \frac{9}{3} \)

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{3}{8} \) x \( \frac{9}{3} \) = \( \frac{3 x 9}{8 x 3} \) = \( \frac{27}{24} \) = 1\(\frac{1}{8}\)
