How many 6-passenger vans will it take to drive all 91 members of the football team to an away game?

80% Answer Correctly
15 vans
5 vans
4 vans
16 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{91}{6} \) = 15\(\frac{1}{6}\)

So, it will take 15 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 16 vans.


2

What is \( \frac{28\sqrt{20}}{4\sqrt{5}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{4} \)
7 \( \sqrt{4} \)
\(\frac{1}{4}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)
\(\frac{1}{4}\) \( \sqrt{7} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{28\sqrt{20}}{4\sqrt{5}} \)
\( \frac{28}{4} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{20}{5}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{4} \)

The total water usage for a city is 15,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 10% is for personal use and 42% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
4,800
6,400
7,600
13,000

Solution

42% of the water consumption is industrial use and 10% is personal use so (42% - 10%) = 32% more water is used for industrial purposes. 15,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{32}{100} \) x 15,000 gallons = 4,800 gallons.

A machine in a factory has an error rate of 8 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 8 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 5 hours for maintenance.

How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?

49% Answer Correctly
122.4
139.8
126.9
88.4

Solution

The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:

\( \frac{8}{100} \) x 8 = \( \frac{8 \times 8}{100} \) = \( \frac{64}{100} \) = 0.64 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 8 - 0.64 = 7.36 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 5 = 19 hours yesterday so you would expect that 19 x 7.36 = 139.8 error free parts were produced yesterday.


5

4! = ?

84% Answer Correctly

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 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.
