A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 60% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

50% Answer Correctly
30%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
20%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

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 60% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{60\text{%}}{2} \) = 30%

On average, the center for a basketball team hits 35% of his shots while a guard on the same team hits 50% of his shots. If the guard takes 25 shots during a game, how many shots will the center have to take to score as many points as the guard assuming each shot is worth the same number of points?

42% Answer Correctly
44
25
34
27

Solution
If the guard hits 50% of his shots and takes 25 shots he'll make:

guard shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \) = 25 x \( \frac{50}{100} \) = \( \frac{50 x 25}{100} \) = \( \frac{1250}{100} \) = 12 shots

The center makes 35% of his shots so he'll have to take:

shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \)
shots taken = \( \frac{\text{shots taken}}{\frac{\text{% made}}{100}} \)

to make as many shots as the guard. Plugging in values for the center gives us:

center shots taken = \( \frac{12}{\frac{35}{100}} \) = 12 x \( \frac{100}{35} \) = \( \frac{12 x 100}{35} \) = \( \frac{1200}{35} \) = 34 shots

to make the same number of shots as the guard and thus score the same number of points.

Find the average of the following numbers: 8, 6, 10, 4.

74% Answer Correctly
8
7
5
9

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{8 + 6 + 10 + 4}{4} \) = \( \frac{28}{4} \) = 7


4

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

59% Answer Correctly

commutative

associative

PEDMAS

distributive


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.


5

How many 6-passenger vans will it take to drive all 93 members of the football team to an away game?

80% Answer Correctly
13 vans
16 vans
12 vans
3 vans

Solution

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

vans = \( \frac{93}{6} \) = 15\(\frac{1}{2}\)

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