A tiger in a zoo has consumed 60 pounds of food in 5 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 108 pounds?
| 5 | |
| 8 | |
| 4 | |
| 1 |
If the tiger has consumed 60 pounds of food in 5 days that's \( \frac{60}{5} \) = 12 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 108 - 60 = 48 more pounds of food to reach 108 pounds total. At 12 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{48}{12} \) = 4 more days.
What is -3x5 + 7x5?
| 4x5 | |
| -10x-5 | |
| 4x-10 | |
| 4x10 |
To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so add the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:
-3x5 + 7x5
(-3 + 7)x5
4x5

The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.
A machine in a factory has an error rate of 6 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 10 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 5 hours for maintenance.
How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?
| 112.8 | |
| 113.1 | |
| 92.2 | |
| 178.6 |
The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:
\( \frac{6}{100} \) x 10 = \( \frac{6 \times 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{60}{100} \) = 0.6 errors per hour
So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 10 - 0.6 = 9.4 error free parts.
The machine ran for 24 - 5 = 19 hours yesterday so you would expect that 19 x 9.4 = 178.6 error free parts were produced yesterday.
How many 8-passenger vans will it take to drive all 91 members of the football team to an away game?
| 3 vans | |
| 9 vans | |
| 6 vans | |
| 12 vans |
Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:
vans = \( \frac{91}{8} \) = 11\(\frac{3}{8}\)
So, it will take 11 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 12 vans.
