How many 9-passenger vans will it take to drive all 94 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
8 vans
11 vans
6 vans
7 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{94}{9} \) = 10\(\frac{4}{9}\)

So, it will take 10 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 11 vans.


2

If a car travels 60 miles in 3 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
15 mph
55 mph
20 mph
70 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 = \( \frac{60mi}{3h} \)
20 mph


3

Simplify \( \frac{32}{72} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{3} \)
\( \frac{5}{8} \)
\( \frac{4}{9} \)
\( \frac{1}{4} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 32 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32] and the factors of 72 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72]. They share 4 factors [1, 2, 4, 8] making 8 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{32}{72} \) = \( \frac{\frac{32}{8}}{\frac{72}{8}} \) = \( \frac{4}{9} \)


4

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({a \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.
