How many 12-passenger vans will it take to drive all 50 members of the football team to an away game?

80% Answer Correctly
6 vans
5 vans
8 vans
9 vans

Solution

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

vans = \( \frac{50}{12} \) = 4\(\frac{1}{6}\)

So, it will take 4 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 5 vans.

A bread recipe calls for 2\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{7}{8}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups
1\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups
1\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (2\(\frac{3}{8}\) - \(\frac{7}{8}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{19}{8} \) - \( \frac{7}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{12}{8} \) cups
1\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups


3

What is 7\( \sqrt{6} \) x 9\( \sqrt{6} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
378
16\( \sqrt{6} \)
16\( \sqrt{36} \)
63\( \sqrt{6} \)

Solution

To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:

7\( \sqrt{6} \) x 9\( \sqrt{6} \)
(7 x 9)\( \sqrt{6 \times 6} \)
63\( \sqrt{36} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

63\( \sqrt{36} \)
63\( \sqrt{6^2} \)
(63)(6)
378


4

What is \( \frac{6y^8}{7y^2} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{6}\)y10
\(\frac{6}{7}\)y16
\(\frac{6}{7}\)y\(\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\frac{6}{7}\)y6

Solution

To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

\( \frac{6y^8}{7y^2} \)
\( \frac{6}{7} \) y(8 - 2)
\(\frac{6}{7}\)y6

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 75% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

50% Answer Correctly
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
30%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

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 75% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{75\text{%}}{2} \) = 37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
