A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 30% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
35%
30%
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
15%

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 30% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{30\text{%}}{2} \) = 15%


2

A factor is a positive __________ that divides evenly into a given number.

78% Answer Correctly

mixed number

fraction

improper fraction

integer


Solution

A factor is a positive integer that divides evenly into a given number. For example, the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.


3

What is 6\( \sqrt{5} \) x 8\( \sqrt{5} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
14\( \sqrt{5} \)
48\( \sqrt{5} \)
240
14\( \sqrt{25} \)

Solution

To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:

6\( \sqrt{5} \) x 8\( \sqrt{5} \)
(6 x 8)\( \sqrt{5 \times 5} \)
48\( \sqrt{25} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

48\( \sqrt{25} \)
48\( \sqrt{5^2} \)
(48)(5)
240


4

What is \( \frac{4}{8} \) x \( \frac{3}{9} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{48}\)
\(\frac{1}{6}\)
\(\frac{1}{12}\)
\(\frac{16}{45}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{4}{8} \) x \( \frac{3}{9} \) = \( \frac{4 x 3}{8 x 9} \) = \( \frac{12}{72} \) = \(\frac{1}{6}\)

If there were a total of 400 raffle tickets sold and you bought 32 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
7%
8%
4%
12%

Solution

You have 32 out of the total of 400 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{32}{400} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{32 \times 100}{400} \) = \( \frac{3200}{400} \) = 8% chance to win the raffle.
