A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 60% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

50% Answer Correctly
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
30%
15%
25%

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 60% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{60\text{%}}{2} \) = 30%


2

Convert b-5 to remove the negative exponent.

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-5}{b} \)
\( \frac{-5}{-b} \)
\( \frac{1}{b^5} \)
\( \frac{-1}{-5b^{5}} \)

Solution

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


3

What is 6z6 x 7z6?

75% Answer Correctly
13z12
42z12
42z36
42z0

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

6z6 x 7z6
(6 x 7)z(6 + 6)
42z12


4

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 2:1 and all 46,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
31,500
32,500
20,667
30,667

Solution

A ratio of 2:1 means that there are 2 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 3 fans, 2 are home fans and \( \frac{2}{3} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

46,000 fans x \( \frac{2}{3} \) = \( \frac{92000}{3} \) = 30,667 fans.


5

What is (x3)5?

79% Answer Correctly
x-2
x2
x15
5x3

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(x3)5
x(3 * 5)
x15
