How many 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 10 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
2
4
7
2

Solution

To fill a 10 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 5 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{5 \text{ gallons}}{2\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 2


2

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 30% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
15%
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 30% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{30\text{%}}{2} \) = 15%


3

Simplify \( \sqrt{50} \)

62% Answer Correctly
8\( \sqrt{4} \)
7\( \sqrt{4} \)
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{4} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{50} \)
\( \sqrt{25 \times 2} \)
\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 2} \)
5\( \sqrt{2} \)


4

Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

b1 = b

all of these are false

b0 = 1

b1 = 1


Solution

A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).

Solution

There are 4 5-passenger taxis available so that's 4 x 5 = 20 total seats. There are 25 people needing transportation leaving 25 - 20 = 5 who will have to find other transportation.
