A tiger in a zoo has consumed 66 pounds of food in 6 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 99 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
2
5
3
1

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 66 pounds of food in 6 days that's \( \frac{66}{6} \) = 11 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 99 - 66 = 33 more pounds of food to reach 99 pounds total. At 11 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{33}{11} \) = 3 more days.


2

A bread recipe calls for 2\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have 1\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups
1 cups
1\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups
1\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (2\(\frac{7}{8}\) - 1\(\frac{3}{8}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{23}{8} \) - \( \frac{11}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{12}{8} \) cups
1\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups


3

Which of these numbers is a factor of 56?

68% Answer Correctly
30
59
7
25

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 56 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56.


4

What is \( 6 \)\( \sqrt{27} \) - \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

38% Answer Correctly
30\( \sqrt{3} \)
13\( \sqrt{3} \)
30\( \sqrt{27} \)
\( \sqrt{81} \)

Solution

To subtract these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

6\( \sqrt{27} \) - 5\( \sqrt{3} \)
6\( \sqrt{9 \times 3} \) - 5\( \sqrt{3} \)
6\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 3} \) - 5\( \sqrt{3} \)
(6)(3)\( \sqrt{3} \) - 5\( \sqrt{3} \)
18\( \sqrt{3} \) - 5\( \sqrt{3} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:

18\( \sqrt{3} \) - 5\( \sqrt{3} \)
(18 - 5)\( \sqrt{3} \)
13\( \sqrt{3} \)


5

How many 6-passenger vans will it take to drive all 46 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
3 vans
2 vans
8 vans
6 vans

Solution

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

vans = \( \frac{46}{6} \) = 7\(\frac{2}{3}\)

So, it will take 7 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 8 vans.
