A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 60% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
15%
20%
25%
30%

Solution

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 60% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{60\text{%}}{2} \) = 30%


2

What is (c2)3?

80% Answer Correctly
c
c6
2c3
c-1

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(c2)3
c(2 * 3)
c6


3

Simplify \( \sqrt{75} \)

62% Answer Correctly
4\( \sqrt{3} \)
3\( \sqrt{6} \)
6\( \sqrt{6} \)
5\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{75} \)
\( \sqrt{25 \times 3} \)
\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 3} \)
5\( \sqrt{3} \)


4

What is 3y5 x 8y6?

75% Answer Correctly
24y30
24y-1
24y11
11y30

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:

3y5 x 8y6
(3 x 8)y(5 + 6)
24y11


5

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 7 hours at an average speed of 35 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
385 miles
225 miles
245 miles
210 miles

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 35mph \times 7h \)
245 miles
