1

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 70% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
35%
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
30%

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 70% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{70\text{%}}{2} \) = 35%

3

How many hours does it take a car to travel 280 miles at an average speed of 35 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
2 hours
7 hours
9 hours
8 hours

Solution

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

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{280mi}{35mph} \)
8 hours


4

Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

b1 = b

b0 = 1

b1 = 1

all of these are false


Solution

A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).


5

Which of the following is not a prime number?

65% Answer Correctly

2

7

9
