The total water usage for a city is 45,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 28% is for personal use and 47% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
4,500
12,150
1,050
8,550

Solution

47% of the water consumption is industrial use and 28% is personal use so (47% - 28%) = 19% more water is used for industrial purposes. 45,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{19}{100} \) x 45,000 gallons = 8,550 gallons.


2

What is 9c5 x 6c2?

75% Answer Correctly
15c7
54c2
54c7
54c10

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:

9c5 x 6c2
(9 x 6)c(5 + 2)
54c7


3

What is \( \frac{4}{8} \) x \( \frac{1}{7} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{24}\)
\(\frac{1}{14}\)
\(\frac{4}{7}\)
\(\frac{1}{18}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{4}{8} \) x \( \frac{1}{7} \) = \( \frac{4 x 1}{8 x 7} \) = \( \frac{4}{56} \) = \(\frac{1}{14}\)


4

4! = ?

84% Answer Correctly

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3


Solution

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.


5

If there were a total of 400 raffle tickets sold and you bought 16 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
13%
9%
7%
4%

Solution

You have 16 out of the total of 400 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{16}{400} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{16 \times 100}{400} \) = \( \frac{1600}{400} \) = 4% chance to win the raffle.
