A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 70% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

50% Answer Correctly
25%
35%
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
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 70% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{70\text{%}}{2} \) = 35%

Solve 5 + (5 + 5) ÷ 5 x 4 - 32

52% Answer Correctly
1
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
3\(\frac{1}{2}\)
4

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

5 + (5 + 5) ÷ 5 x 4 - 32
P: 5 + (10) ÷ 5 x 4 - 32
E: 5 + 10 ÷ 5 x 4 - 9
MD: 5 + \( \frac{10}{5} \) x 4 - 9
MD: 5 + \( \frac{40}{5} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{25}{5} \) + \( \frac{40}{5} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{65}{5} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{65 - 45}{5} \)
\( \frac{20}{5} \)

What is -3a2 x 9a5?

75% Answer Correctly
-27a7
-27a10
-27a3
-27a2

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:

-3a2 x 9a5
(-3 x 9)a(2 + 5)
-27a7

How many hours does it take a car to travel 260 miles at an average speed of 65 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
6 hours
3 hours
7 hours
4 hours

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 time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{260mi}{65mph} \)
4 hours

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 2:1 and all 49,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
20,000
32,667
34,500
29,600

Solution

A ratio of 2:1 means that there are 2 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 3 fans, 2 are home fans and \( \frac{2}{3} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

49,000 fans x \( \frac{2}{3} \) = \( \frac{98000}{3} \) = 32,667 fans.
