If there were a total of 250 raffle tickets sold and you bought 5 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
2%
6%
3%
11%

Solution

You have 5 out of the total of 250 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{5}{250} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{5 \times 100}{250} \) = \( \frac{500}{250} \) = 2% chance to win the raffle.

How many 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 9 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

6

Solution

To fill a 9 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 4\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{4\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}}{1\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 3


3

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 4:1 and all 30,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

49% Answer Correctly
24,000
36,000
26,250
31,333

Solution

A ratio of 4:1 means that there are 4 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 5 fans, 4 are home fans and \( \frac{4}{5} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

30,000 fans x \( \frac{4}{5} \) = \( \frac{120000}{5} \) = 24,000 fans.

What is 8a4 x 6a7?

75% Answer Correctly
14a4
48a3
48a11
48a7

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

8a4 x 6a7
(8 x 6)a(4 + 7)
48a11

In a class of 29 students, 10 are taking German and 12 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 2 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
27
9
16
13

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 10 + 12 = 22. Of that group of 22, 2 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 22 - 2 = 20 who are taking at least one language. 29 - 20 = 9 students who are not taking either language.
