What is 3x2 x x3?

75% Answer Correctly
4x6
3x5
3x-1
3x3

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:

3x2 x x3
(3 x 1)x(2 + 3)
3x5


2

A bread recipe calls for 3\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{3}{4}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups
\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups
3\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups
1\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (3\(\frac{1}{4}\) - \(\frac{3}{4}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{26}{8} \) - \( \frac{6}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{20}{8} \) cups
2\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups


3

Simplify \( \frac{16}{52} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{4}{13} \)
\( \frac{8}{13} \)
\( \frac{7}{12} \)
\( \frac{1}{2} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 16 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16] and the factors of 52 are [1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{16}{52} \) = \( \frac{\frac{16}{4}}{\frac{52}{4}} \) = \( \frac{4}{13} \)


4

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 55% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
35%
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
25%
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

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 55% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{55\text{%}}{2} \) = 27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


5

Find the average of the following numbers: 11, 3, 10, 4.

75% Answer Correctly
12
7
11
6

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{11 + 3 + 10 + 4}{4} \) = \( \frac{28}{4} \) = 7
