1

Find the average of the following numbers: 10, 8, 13, 5.

74% Answer Correctly
5
9
11
7

Solution

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

\( \frac{10 + 8 + 13 + 5}{4} \) = \( \frac{36}{4} \) = 9


2

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 70% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

50% Answer Correctly
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
35%
20%

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 70% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{70\text{%}}{2} \) = 35%


3

What is \( \frac{5}{3} \) + \( \frac{9}{11} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{16}{33}\)
\( \frac{4}{10} \)
\( \frac{7}{33} \)
1 \( \frac{6}{9} \)

Solution

To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 3 are [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30] and the first few multiples of 11 are [11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99]. The first few multiples they share are [33, 66, 99] making 33 the smallest multiple 3 and 11 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{5 x 11}{3 x 11} \) + \( \frac{9 x 3}{11 x 3} \)

\( \frac{55}{33} \) + \( \frac{27}{33} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:

\( \frac{55 + 27}{33} \) = \( \frac{82}{33} \) = 2\(\frac{16}{33}\)

5

What is \( \frac{10\sqrt{16}}{2\sqrt{4}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
5 \( \sqrt{4} \)
5 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \)
4 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \)
\(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{10\sqrt{16}}{2\sqrt{4}} \)
\( \frac{10}{2} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{16}{4}} \)
5 \( \sqrt{4} \)
