1

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 50% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
25%

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 50% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{50\text{%}}{2} \) = 25%


2

If a car travels 100 miles in 4 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
15 mph
45 mph
70 mph
25 mph

Solution

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

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{100mi}{4h} \)
25 mph


3

Simplify \( \frac{24}{76} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{6}{19} \)
\( \frac{1}{2} \)
\( \frac{5}{17} \)
\( \frac{7}{15} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 24 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24] and the factors of 76 are [1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{24}{76} \) = \( \frac{\frac{24}{4}}{\frac{76}{4}} \) = \( \frac{6}{19} \)


4

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

60% Answer Correctly

commutative

PEDMAS

associative

distributive


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.


5

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 7, 13, 19, 25, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
35
40
31
22

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 6

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 6
a6 = 25 + 6
a6 = 31
