1

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

62% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups
1\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups
1\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups

Solution

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

(\( \frac{16}{8} \) - \( \frac{7}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{9}{8} \) cups
1\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups


2

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 75% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
30%
20%
35%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

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 75% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{75\text{%}}{2} \) = 37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


3

Diane scored 73% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 90 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Diane answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
19
22
7
30

Solution

Diane scored 73% on the test meaning she earned 73% of the possible points on the test. There were 90 possible points on the test so she earned 90 x 0.73 = 66 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{66}{3} \) = 22 questions right.


4

4! = ?

85% Answer Correctly

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1


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.


5

How many 10-passenger vans will it take to drive all 95 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
3 vans
4 vans
12 vans
10 vans

Solution

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

vans = \( \frac{95}{10} \) = 9\(\frac{1}{2}\)

So, it will take 9 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 10 vans.
