2

How many 16-passenger vans will it take to drive all 85 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
9 vans
4 vans
10 vans
6 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{85}{16} \) = 5\(\frac{5}{16}\)

So, it will take 5 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 6 vans.


3

Solve for \( \frac{5!}{2!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
210
3024
\( \frac{1}{72} \)
60

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{5!}{2!} \)
\( \frac{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{5 \times 4 \times 3}{1} \)
\( 5 \times 4 \times 3 \)
60

If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 18 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?

47% Answer Correctly
50 m2
128 m2
8 m2
18 m2

Solution

The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 18 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 18.

Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):

2w + 2h = 18
w + h = \( \frac{18}{2} \)
w + h = 9
w = 9 - h

From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:

w = 9 - 2w
3w = 9
w = \( \frac{9}{3} \)
w = 3

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 3) = 6 and the area = h x w = 3 x 6 = 18 m2


5

How many 1 gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 4 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
5
4
7
2

Solution

To fill a 4 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 2 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1 gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{2 \text{ gallons}}{1 \text{ gallons}} \) = 2
