If there were a total of 300 raffle tickets sold and you bought 6 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?
| 18% | |
| 2% | |
| 13% | |
| 4% |
You have 6 out of the total of 300 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{6}{300} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{6 \times 100}{300} \) = \( \frac{600}{300} \) = 2% chance to win the raffle.
If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 30 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?
| 2 m2 | |
| 128 m2 | |
| 162 m2 | |
| 50 m2 |
The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 30 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 30.
Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):
2w + 2h = 30
w + h = \( \frac{30}{2} \)
w + h = 15
w = 15 - h
From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:
w = 15 - 2w
3w = 15
w = \( \frac{15}{3} \)
w = 5
Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 5) = 10 and the area = h x w = 5 x 10 = 50 m2
Which of the following is a mixed number?
\({7 \over 5} \) |
|
\({5 \over 7} \) |
|
\(1 {2 \over 5} \) |
|
\({a \over 5} \) |
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.
Alex loaned Jennifer $1,400 at an annual interest rate of 7%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?
| $1,428 | |
| $1,498 | |
| $1,470 | |
| $1,484 |
The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:
interest = annual interest rate x loan amount
i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $1,400
i = 0.07 x $1,400
No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:
total = $1,400 + $98A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 65% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?
| 22\(\frac{1}{2}\)% | |
| 30% | |
| 35% | |
| 32\(\frac{1}{2}\)% |
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 65% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{65\text{%}}{2} \) = 32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
