2

How many 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 15 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
5
3
9
5

Solution

To fill a 15 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 7\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{7\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}}{1\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 5


3

What is 6y7 x 8y2?

75% Answer Correctly
14y2
48y-5
14y9
48y9

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:

6y7 x 8y2
(6 x 8)y(7 + 2)
48y9


4

What is \( \frac{4}{3} \) - \( \frac{2}{7} \)?

61% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{21} \)
2 \( \frac{5}{9} \)
1\(\frac{43}{900}\)
1 \( \frac{5}{14} \)

Solution

To subtract these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 3 are [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30] and the first few multiples of 7 are [7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70]. The first few multiples they share are [21, 42, 63, 84] making 21 the smallest multiple 3 and 7 share.

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

\( \frac{4 x 7}{3 x 7} \) - \( \frac{2 x 3}{7 x 3} \)

\( \frac{28}{21} \) - \( \frac{6}{21} \)

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

\( \frac{28 - 6}{21} \) = \( \frac{22}{21} \) = 1\(\frac{43}{900}\)

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 55% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

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 55% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{55\text{%}}{2} \) = 27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
