A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 5 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 5 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?
| 5:6 | |
| 1:4 | |
| 25:2 | |
| 7:4 |
The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 5:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 5:1. 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 25:10 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 10:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 25:10, 10:2 which reduces to 25:2.
A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 35% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?
| 35% | |
| 25% | |
| 17\(\frac{1}{2}\)% | |
| 20% |
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 35% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{35\text{%}}{2} \) = 17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 35% off." If Charlie buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $37, how much will he pay for both shirts?
| $61.05 | |
| $42.55 | |
| $48.10 | |
| $44.40 |
By buying two shirts, Charlie will save $37 x \( \frac{35}{100} \) = \( \frac{$37 x 35}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1295}{100} \) = $12.95 on the second shirt.
So, his total cost will be
$37.00 + ($37.00 - $12.95)
$37.00 + $24.05
$61.05
The total water usage for a city is 35,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 24% is for personal use and 47% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?
| 11,550 | |
| 1,500 | |
| 8,050 | |
| 11,200 |
47% of the water consumption is industrial use and 24% is personal use so (47% - 24%) = 23% more water is used for industrial purposes. 35,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{23}{100} \) x 35,000 gallons = 8,050 gallons.
What is \( \frac{2x^5}{1x^2} \)?
| 2x10 | |
| 2x7 | |
| \(\frac{1}{2}\)x-3 | |
| 2x3 |
To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:
\( \frac{2x^5}{x^2} \)
\( \frac{2}{1} \) x(5 - 2)
2x3
