How many 12-passenger vans will it take to drive all 31 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
3 vans
9 vans
4 vans
16 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{31}{12} \) = 2\(\frac{7}{12}\)

So, it will take 2 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 3 vans.

What is -3b5 x 9b4?

75% Answer Correctly
-27b
-27b9
6b9
6b20

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:

-3b5 x 9b4
(-3 x 9)b(5 + 4)
-27b9

A bread recipe calls for 3\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups of flour. If you only have 1 cup, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups
1\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups
1\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (3\(\frac{1}{2}\) - 1) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{28}{8} \) - \( \frac{8}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{20}{8} \) cups
2\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups
