If there were a total of 400 raffle tickets sold and you bought 24 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
1%
17%
6%
9%

Solution

You have 24 out of the total of 400 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{24}{400} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{24 \times 100}{400} \) = \( \frac{2400}{400} \) = 6% chance to win the raffle.


2

What is 3\( \sqrt{4} \) x 8\( \sqrt{5} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
24\( \sqrt{4} \)
24\( \sqrt{9} \)
48\( \sqrt{5} \)
11\( \sqrt{20} \)

Solution

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

3\( \sqrt{4} \) x 8\( \sqrt{5} \)
(3 x 8)\( \sqrt{4 \times 5} \)
24\( \sqrt{20} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

24\( \sqrt{20} \)
24\( \sqrt{5 \times 4} \)
24\( \sqrt{5 \times 2^2} \)
(24)(2)\( \sqrt{5} \)
48\( \sqrt{5} \)


3

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 65% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

50% Answer Correctly
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
20%
25%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

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 65% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{65\text{%}}{2} \) = 32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


4

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({7 \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)

\({a \over 5} \)


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.


5

\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?

55% Answer Correctly

distributive property for division

distributive property for multiplication

commutative property for multiplication

commutative property for division


Solution

The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).
