How many 7-passenger vans will it take to drive all 38 members of the football team to an away game?

80% Answer Correctly
7 vans
6 vans
8 vans
3 vans

Solution

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

vans = \( \frac{38}{7} \) = 5\(\frac{3}{7}\)

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

On average, the center for a basketball team hits 30% of his shots while a guard on the same team hits 35% of his shots. If the guard takes 30 shots during a game, how many shots will the center have to take to score as many points as the guard assuming each shot is worth the same number of points?

42% Answer Correctly
27
23
33
19

Solution
If the guard hits 35% of his shots and takes 30 shots he'll make:

guard shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \) = 30 x \( \frac{35}{100} \) = \( \frac{35 x 30}{100} \) = \( \frac{1050}{100} \) = 10 shots

The center makes 30% of his shots so he'll have to take:

shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \)
shots taken = \( \frac{\text{shots taken}}{\frac{\text{% made}}{100}} \)

to make as many shots as the guard. Plugging in values for the center gives us:

center shots taken = \( \frac{10}{\frac{30}{100}} \) = 10 x \( \frac{100}{30} \) = \( \frac{10 x 100}{30} \) = \( \frac{1000}{30} \) = 33 shots

to make the same number of shots as the guard and thus score the same number of points.

What is \( \frac{4}{7} \) x \( \frac{2}{7} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{25}\)
\(\frac{8}{49}\)
\(\frac{2}{27}\)
\(\frac{3}{49}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{4}{7} \) x \( \frac{2}{7} \) = \( \frac{4 x 2}{7 x 7} \) = \( \frac{8}{49} \) = \(\frac{8}{49}\)


4

What is 6y3 x 5y2?

75% Answer Correctly
11y5
11y3
30y5
30y-1

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

6y3 x 5y2
(6 x 5)y(3 + 2)
30y5

Jennifer scored 97% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 180 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Jennifer answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
53
58
43
63

Solution

Jennifer scored 97% on the test meaning she earned 97% of the possible points on the test. There were 180 possible points on the test so she earned 180 x 0.97 = 174 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{174}{3} \) = 58 questions right.
