1

How many 16-passenger vans will it take to drive all 66 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
13 vans
10 vans
11 vans
5 vans

Solution

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

vans = \( \frac{66}{16} \) = 4\(\frac{1}{8}\)

So, it will take 4 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 5 vans.


2

What is \( \frac{35\sqrt{30}}{7\sqrt{6}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
5 \( \sqrt{5} \)
\(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{5} \)
5 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \)
\(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{35\sqrt{30}}{7\sqrt{6}} \)
\( \frac{35}{7} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{30}{6}} \)
5 \( \sqrt{5} \)


3

What is the greatest common factor of 76 and 80?

77% Answer Correctly
70
4
73
17

Solution

The factors of 76 are [1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76] and the factors of 80 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 the greatest factor 76 and 80 have in common.


4

Convert x-2 to remove the negative exponent.

68% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-1}{-2x} \)
\( \frac{1}{x^2} \)
\( \frac{-1}{-2x^{2}} \)
\( \frac{2}{x} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.


5

How many 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 9 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
5
6
3
3

Solution

To fill a 9 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 4\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{4\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}}{1\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 3
