If there were a total of 350 raffle tickets sold and you bought 17 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
5%
6%
4%
15%

Solution

You have 17 out of the total of 350 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{17}{350} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{17 \times 100}{350} \) = \( \frac{1700}{350} \) = 5% chance to win the raffle.


2

What is \( \frac{21\sqrt{4}}{7\sqrt{2}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{2} \)
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{2} \)
2 \( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{21\sqrt{4}}{7\sqrt{2}} \)
\( \frac{21}{7} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{4}{2}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{2} \)

A machine in a factory has an error rate of 3 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 7 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 4 hours for maintenance.

How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?

48% Answer Correctly
138.2
98.3
183.3
135.8

Solution

The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:

\( \frac{3}{100} \) x 7 = \( \frac{3 \times 7}{100} \) = \( \frac{21}{100} \) = 0.21 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 7 - 0.21 = 6.79 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 4 = 20 hours yesterday so you would expect that 20 x 6.79 = 135.8 error free parts were produced yesterday.

What is \( 8 \)\( \sqrt{175} \) + \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)

35% Answer Correctly
56\( \sqrt{1225} \)
15\( \sqrt{7} \)
15\( \sqrt{1225} \)
47\( \sqrt{7} \)

Solution

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

8\( \sqrt{175} \) + 7\( \sqrt{7} \)
8\( \sqrt{25 \times 7} \) + 7\( \sqrt{7} \)
8\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 7} \) + 7\( \sqrt{7} \)
(8)(5)\( \sqrt{7} \) + 7\( \sqrt{7} \)
40\( \sqrt{7} \) + 7\( \sqrt{7} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

40\( \sqrt{7} \) + 7\( \sqrt{7} \)
(40 + 7)\( \sqrt{7} \)
47\( \sqrt{7} \)

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 8 hours at an average speed of 20 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
25 miles
160 miles
385 miles
390 miles

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 20mph \times 8h \)
160 miles
