A tiger in a zoo has consumed 60 pounds of food in 4 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 165 pounds?
| 5 | |
| 7 | |
| 2 | |
| 19 |
If the tiger has consumed 60 pounds of food in 4 days that's \( \frac{60}{4} \) = 15 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 165 - 60 = 105 more pounds of food to reach 165 pounds total. At 15 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{105}{15} \) = 7 more days.
4! = ?
4 x 3 |
|
3 x 2 x 1 |
|
4 x 3 x 2 x 1 |
|
5 x 4 x 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 bread recipe calls for 3\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{5}{8}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?
| 2\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups | |
| \(\frac{7}{8}\) cups | |
| 1\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups | |
| 2\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups |
The amount of flour you need is (3\(\frac{3}{8}\) - \(\frac{5}{8}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:
(\( \frac{27}{8} \) - \( \frac{5}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{22}{8} \) cups
2\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups
In a class of 33 students, 12 are taking German and 15 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 4 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?
| 17 | |
| 28 | |
| 10 | |
| 20 |
The number of students taking German or Spanish is 12 + 15 = 27. Of that group of 27, 4 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 27 - 4 = 23 who are taking at least one language. 33 - 23 = 10 students who are not taking either language.
What is \( \frac{6}{4} \) + \( \frac{2}{10} \)?
| 1\(\frac{7}{10}\) | |
| \( \frac{1}{6} \) | |
| \( \frac{2}{9} \) | |
| \( \frac{3}{20} \) |
To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 4 are [4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40] and the first few multiples of 10 are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [20, 40, 60, 80] making 20 the smallest multiple 4 and 10 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{6 x 5}{4 x 5} \) + \( \frac{2 x 2}{10 x 2} \)
\( \frac{30}{20} \) + \( \frac{4}{20} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:
\( \frac{30 + 4}{20} \) = \( \frac{34}{20} \) = 1\(\frac{7}{10}\)
