Monica scored 79% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 300 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Monica answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
64
79
78
89

Solution

Monica scored 79% on the test meaning she earned 79% of the possible points on the test. There were 300 possible points on the test so she earned 300 x 0.79 = 237 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{237}{3} \) = 79 questions right.

How many 14-passenger vans will it take to drive all 75 members of the football team to an away game?

80% Answer Correctly
4 vans
10 vans
6 vans
5 vans

Solution

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

vans = \( \frac{75}{14} \) = 5\(\frac{5}{14}\)

So, it will take 5 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 6 vans.


4

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

70% Answer Correctly

\({7 \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({2 \over 5} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.


5
