In a class of 15 students, 6 are taking German and 7 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 3 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
12
5
14
13

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 6 + 7 = 13. Of that group of 13, 3 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 13 - 3 = 10 who are taking at least one language. 15 - 10 = 5 students who are not taking either language.


4

Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

b1 = 1

all of these are false

b1 = b

b0 = 1


Solution

A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 54 pounds of food in 9 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 90 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
6
1
15
3

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 54 pounds of food in 9 days that's \( \frac{54}{9} \) = 6 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 90 - 54 = 36 more pounds of food to reach 90 pounds total. At 6 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{36}{6} \) = 6 more days.
