If there were a total of 350 raffle tickets sold and you bought 14 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
16%
9%
11%
4%

Solution

You have 14 out of the total of 350 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{14}{350} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{14 \times 100}{350} \) = \( \frac{1400}{350} \) = 4% chance to win the raffle.


2

Convert x-2 to remove the negative exponent.

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-1}{-2x} \)
\( \frac{-2}{-x} \)
\( \frac{2}{x} \)
\( \frac{1}{x^2} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.


3

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

70% Answer Correctly

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({2 \over 5} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.


4

How many hours does it take a car to travel 50 miles at an average speed of 50 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
1 hour
7 hours
4 hours
3 hours

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{50mi}{50mph} \)
1 hour


5

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 5:1 and all 30,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
25,000
37,500
24,667
33,600

Solution

A ratio of 5:1 means that there are 5 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 6 fans, 5 are home fans and \( \frac{5}{6} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

30,000 fans x \( \frac{5}{6} \) = \( \frac{150000}{6} \) = 25,000 fans.
