Which of the following is an improper fraction?
\({a \over 5} \) |
|
\(1 {2 \over 5} \) |
|
\({2 \over 5} \) |
|
\({7 \over 5} \) |
A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.
A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 40% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?
| 37\(\frac{1}{2}\)% | |
| 20% | |
| 22\(\frac{1}{2}\)% | |
| 15% |
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 40% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{40\text{%}}{2} \) = 20%
If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 2:1 and all 45,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?
| 41,667 | |
| 34,400 | |
| 30,000 | |
| 40,000 |
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:
45,000 fans x \( \frac{2}{3} \) = \( \frac{90000}{3} \) = 30,000 fans.
What is the least common multiple of 3 and 9?
| 25 | |
| 9 | |
| 19 | |
| 7 |
The first few multiples of 3 are [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30] and the first few multiples of 9 are [9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [9, 18, 27, 36, 45] making 9 the smallest multiple 3 and 9 have in common.
What is \( \frac{3}{5} \) x \( \frac{2}{8} \)?
| \(\frac{8}{21}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{9}\) | |
| \(\frac{4}{63}\) | |
| \(\frac{3}{20}\) |
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:
\( \frac{3}{5} \) x \( \frac{2}{8} \) = \( \frac{3 x 2}{5 x 8} \) = \( \frac{6}{40} \) = \(\frac{3}{20}\)
