2

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 45% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

50% Answer Correctly
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
15%
25%
20%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 45% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{45\text{%}}{2} \) = 22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


3

What is \( \frac{4}{8} \) x \( \frac{4}{9} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{27}\)
\(\frac{1}{8}\)
1\(\frac{7}{9}\)
\(\frac{2}{9}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{4}{8} \) x \( \frac{4}{9} \) = \( \frac{4 x 4}{8 x 9} \) = \( \frac{16}{72} \) = \(\frac{2}{9}\)


4

What is \( \frac{3}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{9} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
6\(\frac{3}{4}\)
\(\frac{2}{45}\)
\(\frac{1}{9}\)
1\(\frac{7}{20}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{3}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{9} \) = \( \frac{3}{5} \) x \( \frac{9}{4} \)

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

\( \frac{3}{5} \) x \( \frac{9}{4} \) = \( \frac{3 x 9}{5 x 4} \) = \( \frac{27}{20} \) = 1\(\frac{7}{20}\)


5

What is the least common multiple of 9 and 15?

72% Answer Correctly
99
45
9
33

Solution

The first few multiples of 9 are [9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90] and the first few multiples of 15 are [15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [45, 90] making 45 the smallest multiple 9 and 15 have in common.
