1

In a class of 22 students, 15 are taking German and 5 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 5 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
10
18
7
15

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 15 + 5 = 20. Of that group of 20, 5 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 20 - 5 = 15 who are taking at least one language. 22 - 15 = 7 students who are not taking either language.


2

How many hours does it take a car to travel 480 miles at an average speed of 60 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
2 hours
8 hours
3 hours
7 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 = \( \frac{480mi}{60mph} \)
8 hours


3

Simplify \( \sqrt{63} \)

62% Answer Correctly
7\( \sqrt{7} \)
3\( \sqrt{7} \)
3\( \sqrt{14} \)
7\( \sqrt{14} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{63} \)
\( \sqrt{9 \times 7} \)
\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 7} \)
3\( \sqrt{7} \)

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 10% off." If Ezra buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $26, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$1.30
$2.60
$3.90
51

Solution

By buying two shirts, Ezra will save $26 x \( \frac{10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$26 x 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$260}{100} \) = $2.60 on the second shirt.
