What is \( \frac{3}{3} \) + \( \frac{6}{5} \)?
| 2\(\frac{1}{5}\) | |
| \( \frac{8}{15} \) | |
| \( \frac{4}{8} \) | |
| 1 \( \frac{2}{6} \) |
To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 3 are [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30] and the first few multiples of 5 are [5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50]. The first few multiples they share are [15, 30, 45, 60, 75] making 15 the smallest multiple 3 and 5 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{3 x 5}{3 x 5} \) + \( \frac{6 x 3}{5 x 3} \)
\( \frac{15}{15} \) + \( \frac{18}{15} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:
\( \frac{15 + 18}{15} \) = \( \frac{33}{15} \) = 2\(\frac{1}{5}\)
If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 3:1 and all 41,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?
| 32,667 | |
| 24,000 | |
| 30,750 | |
| 20,000 |
A ratio of 3:1 means that there are 3 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 4 fans, 3 are home fans and \( \frac{3}{4} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:
41,000 fans x \( \frac{3}{4} \) = \( \frac{123000}{4} \) = 30,750 fans.

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that divides two integers.
A bread recipe calls for 3\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{1}{8}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?
| 1\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups | |
| 3\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups | |
| 3\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups | |
| 1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups |
The amount of flour you need is (3\(\frac{3}{4}\) - \(\frac{1}{8}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:
(\( \frac{30}{8} \) - \( \frac{1}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{29}{8} \) cups
3\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
The total water usage for a city is 40,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 32% is for personal use and 44% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?
| 4,050 | |
| 16,500 | |
| 10,350 | |
| 4,800 |
44% of the water consumption is industrial use and 32% is personal use so (44% - 32%) = 12% more water is used for industrial purposes. 40,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{12}{100} \) x 40,000 gallons = 4,800 gallons.
