1

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

70% Answer Correctly

\({7 \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({2 \over 5} \)


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.


2

What is \( \frac{12\sqrt{14}}{4\sqrt{7}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
2 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \)
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{2} \)
3 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{12\sqrt{14}}{4\sqrt{7}} \)
\( \frac{12}{4} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{14}{7}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{2} \)


3

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 5% off." If Alex buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $10, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$0.50
$2.00
$1.00
$1.50

Solution

By buying two shirts, Alex will save $10 x \( \frac{5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$10 x 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$50}{100} \) = $0.50 on the second shirt.

Betty scored 93% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 240 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Betty answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
62
75
74
67

Solution

Betty scored 93% on the test meaning she earned 93% of the possible points on the test. There were 240 possible points on the test so she earned 240 x 0.93 = 222 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{222}{3} \) = 74 questions right.


5

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 2:1 and all 46,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
21,333
30,667
22,667
32,500

Solution

A ratio of 2:1 means that there are 2 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 3 fans, 2 are home fans and \( \frac{2}{3} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

46,000 fans x \( \frac{2}{3} \) = \( \frac{92000}{3} \) = 30,667 fans.
