1

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 45% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
20%
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

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 45% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{45\text{%}}{2} \) = 22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


2

What is (y4)2?

80% Answer Correctly
y8
y6
4y2
y-2

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(y4)2
y(4 * 2)
y8


3

\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

commutative property for division

distributive property for multiplication

distributive property for division

commutative property for multiplication


Solution

The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).


4

If a car travels 75 miles in 3 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
50 mph
65 mph
25 mph
75 mph

Solution

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

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{75mi}{3h} \)
25 mph


5

Simplify \( \frac{20}{56} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{5}{6} \)
\( \frac{6}{17} \)
\( \frac{2}{5} \)
\( \frac{5}{14} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 20 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20] and the factors of 56 are [1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{20}{56} \) = \( \frac{\frac{20}{4}}{\frac{56}{4}} \) = \( \frac{5}{14} \)
