1

The total water usage for a city is 35,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 11% is for personal use and 32% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
4,600
1,300
7,350
2,500

Solution

32% of the water consumption is industrial use and 11% is personal use so (32% - 11%) = 21% more water is used for industrial purposes. 35,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{21}{100} \) x 35,000 gallons = 7,350 gallons.


2

What is the greatest common factor of 48 and 48?

77% Answer Correctly
1
48
43
5

Solution

The factors of 48 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48] and the factors of 48 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48]. They share 10 factors [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48] making 48 the greatest factor 48 and 48 have in common.


3

What is \( \frac{3}{8} \) + \( \frac{2}{16} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{8}{11} \)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1 \( \frac{6}{16} \)
2 \( \frac{4}{9} \)

Solution

To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 8 are [8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80] and the first few multiples of 16 are [16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96]. The first few multiples they share are [16, 32, 48, 64, 80] making 16 the smallest multiple 8 and 16 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{3 x 2}{8 x 2} \) + \( \frac{2 x 1}{16 x 1} \)

\( \frac{6}{16} \) + \( \frac{2}{16} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:

\( \frac{6 + 2}{16} \) = \( \frac{8}{16} \) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
