A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 7 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 7 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?
| 49:2 | |
| 3:4 | |
| 7:2 | |
| 3:8 |
The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 7:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 7:1. 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 49:14 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 14:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 49:14, 14:2 which reduces to 49:2.
Which of the following is an improper fraction?
\({7 \over 5} \) |
|
\(1 {2 \over 5} \) |
|
\({2 \over 5} \) |
|
\({a \over 5} \) |
A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.
A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 50% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?
| 25% | |
| 20% | |
| 22\(\frac{1}{2}\)% | |
| 15% |
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 50% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{50\text{%}}{2} \) = 25%
What is the least common multiple of 2 and 10?
| 9 | |
| 1 | |
| 10 | |
| 13 |
The first few multiples of 2 are [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20] and the first few multiples of 10 are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50] making 10 the smallest multiple 2 and 10 have in common.
What is 9\( \sqrt{3} \) x 3\( \sqrt{3} \)?
| 12\( \sqrt{3} \) | |
| 27\( \sqrt{6} \) | |
| 12\( \sqrt{9} \) | |
| 81 |
To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:
9\( \sqrt{3} \) x 3\( \sqrt{3} \)
(9 x 3)\( \sqrt{3 \times 3} \)
27\( \sqrt{9} \)
Now we need to simplify the radical:
27\( \sqrt{9} \)
27\( \sqrt{3^2} \)
(27)(3)
