2

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?

50% Answer Correctly
35%
20%
30%
15%

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%

How many 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 9 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

51% Answer Correctly
3
6
8
5

Solution

To fill a 9 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 4\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{4\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}}{1\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 3

A bread recipe calls for 3\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{3}{8}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?

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

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (3\(\frac{5}{8}\) - \(\frac{3}{8}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{29}{8} \) - \( \frac{3}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{26}{8} \) cups
3\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups


5

If there were a total of 450 raffle tickets sold and you bought 18 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
4%
14%
12%
9%

Solution

You have 18 out of the total of 450 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{18}{450} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{18 \times 100}{450} \) = \( \frac{1800}{450} \) = 4% chance to win the raffle.
