A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 9 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 9 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?
| 3:8 | |
| 9:6 | |
| 1:6 | |
| 81:2 |
The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 9:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 9:1. To solve this problem, we need the baseball card side of each ratio to be equal so we need to rewrite the ratios in terms of a common number of baseball cards. (Think of this like finding the common denominator when adding fractions.) The ratio of football to baseball cards can also be written as 81:18 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 18:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 81:18, 18:2 which reduces to 81:2.
What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, __________ ?
| 9 | |
| 10 | |
| 6 | |
| -3 |
The equation for this sequence is:
an = an-1 + 1
where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:
a6 = a5 + 1
a6 = 5 + 1
a6 = 6
If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 5:1 and all 41,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?
| 39,167 | |
| 29,600 | |
| 34,167 | |
| 28,667 |
A ratio of 5:1 means that there are 5 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 6 fans, 5 are home fans and \( \frac{5}{6} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:
41,000 fans x \( \frac{5}{6} \) = \( \frac{205000}{6} \) = 34,167 fans.
What is the least common multiple of 6 and 14?
| 84 | |
| 18 | |
| 42 | |
| 16 |
The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 14 are [14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98]. The first few multiples they share are [42, 84] making 42 the smallest multiple 6 and 14 have in common.
A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 50% off." If Bob buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $29, how much money will he save?
| $14.50 | |
| $5.80 | |
| 47 | |
| $1.45 |
By buying two shirts, Bob will save $29 x \( \frac{50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$29 x 50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1450}{100} \) = $14.50 on the second shirt.
