The total water usage for a city is 40,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 32% is for personal use and 64% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
2,300
6,000
12,800
5,250

Solution

64% of the water consumption is industrial use and 32% is personal use so (64% - 32%) = 32% more water is used for industrial purposes. 40,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{32}{100} \) x 40,000 gallons = 12,800 gallons.

What is 5c7 x 7c5?

75% Answer Correctly
35c5
35c12
12c12
35c35

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

5c7 x 7c5
(5 x 7)c(7 + 5)
35c12


3

a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?

75% Answer Correctly

commutative property for division

distributive property for division

commutative property for multiplication

distributive property for multiplication


Solution

The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.


4

5

If there were a total of 50 raffle tickets sold and you bought 2 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
11%
8%
5%
16%

Solution

You have 2 out of the total of 50 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{2}{50} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{2 \times 100}{50} \) = \( \frac{200}{50} \) = 5% chance to win the raffle.
