The total water usage for a city is 30,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 26% is for personal use and 57% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
14,499
6,750
6,000
9,300

Solution

57% of the water consumption is industrial use and 26% is personal use so (57% - 26%) = 31% more water is used for industrial purposes. 30,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{31}{100} \) x 30,000 gallons = 9,300 gallons.

If there were a total of 450 raffle tickets sold and you bought 31 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
9%
11%
4%
7%

Solution

You have 31 out of the total of 450 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{31}{450} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{31 \times 100}{450} \) = \( \frac{3100}{450} \) = 7% chance to win the raffle.


3

4! = ?

84% Answer Correctly

3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3

4 x 3 x 2 x 1


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.


4

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{49}{9}} \)?

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

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:

\( \sqrt{\frac{49}{9}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{49}}{\sqrt{9}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{7^2}}{\sqrt{3^2}} \)
\( \frac{7}{3} \)
2\(\frac{1}{3}\)


5

Find the average of the following numbers: 10, 8, 13, 5.

74% Answer Correctly
7
11
9
10

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{10 + 8 + 13 + 5}{4} \) = \( \frac{36}{4} \) = 9
