How many 16-passenger vans will it take to drive all 60 members of the football team to an away game?
| 4 vans | |
| 3 vans | |
| 6 vans | |
| 7 vans |
Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:
vans = \( \frac{60}{16} \) = 3\(\frac{3}{4}\)
So, it will take 3 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 4 vans.
If \( \left|a + 0\right| \) - 9 = 0, which of these is a possible value for a?
| -3 | |
| -16 | |
| 9 | |
| -7 |
First, solve for \( \left|a + 0\right| \):
\( \left|a + 0\right| \) - 9 = 0
\( \left|a + 0\right| \) = 0 + 9
\( \left|a + 0\right| \) = 9
The value inside the absolute value brackets can be either positive or negative so (a + 0) must equal + 9 or -9 for \( \left|a + 0\right| \) to equal 9:
| a + 0 = 9 a = 9 + 0 a = 9 | a + 0 = -9 a = -9 + 0 a = -9 |
So, a = -9 or a = 9.
A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 7 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 7 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?
| 7:8 | |
| 49:2 | |
| 1:2 | |
| 1:8 |
The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 7:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 7:1. 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 49:14 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 14:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 49:14, 14:2 which reduces to 49:2.
What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 5 hours at an average speed of 20 miles per hour?
| 180 miles | |
| 195 miles | |
| 100 miles | |
| 600 miles |
Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:
speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)Solving for distance:
distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 20mph \times 5h \)
100 miles
Solve for \( \frac{5!}{6!} \)
| \( \frac{1}{9} \) | |
| 6720 | |
| \( \frac{1}{6} \) | |
| \( \frac{1}{5} \) |
A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:
\( \frac{5!}{6!} \)
\( \frac{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{6} \)
\( \frac{1}{6} \)
