If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 5:1 and all 36,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
24,750
26,250
30,000
28,000

Solution

A ratio of 5:1 means that there are 5 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 6 fans, 5 are home fans and \( \frac{5}{6} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

36,000 fans x \( \frac{5}{6} \) = \( \frac{180000}{6} \) = 30,000 fans.

Solve 5 + (2 + 5) ÷ 5 x 4 - 52

52% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{8}{9}\)
-14\(\frac{2}{5}\)
1
1\(\frac{2}{3}\)

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

5 + (2 + 5) ÷ 5 x 4 - 52
P: 5 + (7) ÷ 5 x 4 - 52
E: 5 + 7 ÷ 5 x 4 - 25
MD: 5 + \( \frac{7}{5} \) x 4 - 25
MD: 5 + \( \frac{28}{5} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{25}{5} \) + \( \frac{28}{5} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{53}{5} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{53 - 125}{5} \)
\( \frac{-72}{5} \)
-14\(\frac{2}{5}\)


3

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 40% off." If Bob buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $22, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$3.30
$8.80
$11.00
$9.90

Solution

By buying two shirts, Bob will save $22 x \( \frac{40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$22 x 40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$880}{100} \) = $8.80 on the second shirt.

What is \( 2 \)\( \sqrt{48} \) + \( 2 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

35% Answer Correctly
4\( \sqrt{48} \)
10\( \sqrt{3} \)
4\( \sqrt{16} \)
4\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

2\( \sqrt{48} \) + 2\( \sqrt{3} \)
2\( \sqrt{16 \times 3} \) + 2\( \sqrt{3} \)
2\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 3} \) + 2\( \sqrt{3} \)
(2)(4)\( \sqrt{3} \) + 2\( \sqrt{3} \)
8\( \sqrt{3} \) + 2\( \sqrt{3} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

8\( \sqrt{3} \) + 2\( \sqrt{3} \)
(8 + 2)\( \sqrt{3} \)
10\( \sqrt{3} \)


5

What is \( \frac{2}{5} \) x \( \frac{2}{9} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{63}\)
\(\frac{4}{5}\)
\(\frac{4}{45}\)
\(\frac{1}{32}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{2}{5} \) x \( \frac{2}{9} \) = \( \frac{2 x 2}{5 x 9} \) = \( \frac{4}{45} \) = \(\frac{4}{45}\)
