How many 16-passenger vans will it take to drive all 87 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
7 vans
3 vans
9 vans
6 vans

Solution

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

vans = \( \frac{87}{16} \) = 5\(\frac{7}{16}\)

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

Roger loaned Christine $600 at an annual interest rate of 3%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$630
$618
$648
$636

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $600
i = 0.03 x $600

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $600 + $18
total = $618


3

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 2:1 and all 33,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
33,333
26,000
22,000
24,000

Solution

A ratio of 2:1 means that there are 2 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 3 fans, 2 are home fans and \( \frac{2}{3} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

33,000 fans x \( \frac{2}{3} \) = \( \frac{66000}{3} \) = 22,000 fans.


4

A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 9 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 9 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?

53% Answer Correctly
81:2
1:6
7:6
9:6

Solution

The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 9:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 9:1. 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 81:18 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 18:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 81:18, 18:2 which reduces to 81:2.
