1

How many 2 gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 12 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

51% Answer Correctly
4
5
6
3

Solution

To fill a 12 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 6 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2 gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{6 \text{ gallons}}{2 \text{ gallons}} \) = 3


2

How many 13-passenger vans will it take to drive all 72 members of the football team to an away game?

80% Answer Correctly
8 vans
6 vans
5 vans
4 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{72}{13} \) = 5\(\frac{7}{13}\)

So, it will take 5 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 6 vans.


3

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{25}{64}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\frac{5}{8}\)
\(\frac{2}{3}\)
\(\frac{5}{6}\)

Solution

To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:

\( \sqrt{\frac{25}{64}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{64}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{5^2}}{\sqrt{8^2}} \)
\(\frac{5}{8}\)


4

A bread recipe calls for 3\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups of flour. If you only have 1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
1\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups
3\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups
2\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (3\(\frac{1}{4}\) - 1\(\frac{5}{8}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{26}{8} \) - \( \frac{13}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{13}{8} \) cups
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
