If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 3:1 and all 44,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?
| 33,000 | |
| 24,750 | |
| 27,000 | |
| 29,600 |
A ratio of 3:1 means that there are 3 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 4 fans, 3 are home fans and \( \frac{3}{4} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:
44,000 fans x \( \frac{3}{4} \) = \( \frac{132000}{4} \) = 33,000 fans.
A triathlon course includes a 500m swim, a 40.8km bike ride, and a 5.9km run. What is the total length of the race course?
| 53.8km | |
| 47.2km | |
| 61.3km | |
| 37.7km |
To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 500 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.5km then add the remaining distances:
total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.5km + 40.8km + 5.9km
total distance = 47.2km
4! = ?
5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 |
|
4 x 3 |
|
4 x 3 x 2 x 1 |
|
3 x 2 x 1 |
A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.
A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 9 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 9 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?
| 9:6 | |
| 81:2 | |
| 5:1 | |
| 7:6 |
The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 9:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 9:1. To solve this problem, we need the baseball card side of each ratio to be equal so we need to rewrite the ratios in terms of a common number of baseball cards. (Think of this like finding the common denominator when adding fractions.) The ratio of football to baseball cards can also be written as 81:18 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 18:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 81:18, 18:2 which reduces to 81:2.
If there were a total of 350 raffle tickets sold and you bought 17 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?
| 19% | |
| 4% | |
| 5% | |
| 16% |
You have 17 out of the total of 350 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{17}{350} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{17 \times 100}{350} \) = \( \frac{1700}{350} \) = 5% chance to win the raffle.
