A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 9 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 9 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?
| 1:4 | |
| 5:1 | |
| 1:1 | |
| 81:2 |
The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 9:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 9:1. To solve this problem, we need the baseball card side of each ratio to be equal so we need to rewrite the ratios in terms of a common number of baseball cards. (Think of this like finding the common denominator when adding fractions.) The ratio of football to baseball cards can also be written as 81:18 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 18:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 81:18, 18:2 which reduces to 81:2.
Find the average of the following numbers: 10, 4, 10, 4.
| 7 | |
| 8 | |
| 3 | |
| 2 |
To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:
\( \frac{10 + 4 + 10 + 4}{4} \) = \( \frac{28}{4} \) = 7
A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 50% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?
| 15% | |
| 25% | |
| 32\(\frac{1}{2}\)% | |
| 27\(\frac{1}{2}\)% |
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 50% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{50\text{%}}{2} \) = 25%
This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.
What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, __________ ?
| 44 | |
| 38 | |
| 36 | |
| 40 |
The equation for this sequence is:
an = an-1 + 7
where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:
a6 = a5 + 7
a6 = 29 + 7
a6 = 36
