A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 7 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 7 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?
| 7:8 | |
| 49:2 | |
| 7:2 | |
| 9:4 |
The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 7:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 7:1. To solve this problem, we need the baseball card side of each ratio to be equal so we need to rewrite the ratios in terms of a common number of baseball cards. (Think of this like finding the common denominator when adding fractions.) The ratio of football to baseball cards can also be written as 49:14 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 14:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 49:14, 14:2 which reduces to 49:2.
Find the average of the following numbers: 16, 10, 15, 11.
| 10 | |
| 14 | |
| 13 | |
| 8 |
To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:
\( \frac{16 + 10 + 15 + 11}{4} \) = \( \frac{52}{4} \) = 13
What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, __________ ?
| 36 | |
| 28 | |
| 45 | |
| 40 |
The equation for this sequence is:
an = an-1 + 7
where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:
a6 = a5 + 7
a6 = 29 + 7
a6 = 36
What is \( \frac{3}{6} \) ÷ \( \frac{2}{5} \)?
| \(\frac{3}{35}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{36}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{4}\) |
To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:
\( \frac{3}{6} \) ÷ \( \frac{2}{5} \) = \( \frac{3}{6} \) x \( \frac{5}{2} \)
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:
\( \frac{3}{6} \) x \( \frac{5}{2} \) = \( \frac{3 x 5}{6 x 2} \) = \( \frac{15}{12} \) = 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)
A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 40% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?
| 37\(\frac{1}{2}\)% | |
| 20% | |
| 35% | |
| 25% |
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 40% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{40\text{%}}{2} \) = 20%
