If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 5:1 and all 34,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?
| 38,400 | |
| 28,333 | |
| 21,333 | |
| 28,000 |
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:
34,000 fans x \( \frac{5}{6} \) = \( \frac{170000}{6} \) = 28,333 fans.
If \( \left|z - 3\right| \) - 6 = 0, which of these is a possible value for z?
| 9 | |
| 10 | |
| 14 | |
| 13 |
First, solve for \( \left|z - 3\right| \):
\( \left|z - 3\right| \) - 6 = 0
\( \left|z - 3\right| \) = 0 + 6
\( \left|z - 3\right| \) = 6
The value inside the absolute value brackets can be either positive or negative so (z - 3) must equal + 6 or -6 for \( \left|z - 3\right| \) to equal 6:
| z - 3 = 6 z = 6 + 3 z = 9 | z - 3 = -6 z = -6 + 3 z = -3 |
So, z = -3 or z = 9.
Which of these numbers is a factor of 16?
| 15 | |
| 2 | |
| 9 | |
| 4 |
The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.
Solve for \( \frac{2!}{3!} \)
| \( \frac{1}{7} \) | |
| \( \frac{1}{3} \) | |
| 3024 | |
| \( \frac{1}{120} \) |
A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:
\( \frac{2!}{3!} \)
\( \frac{2 \times 1}{3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{3} \)
\( \frac{1}{3} \)
What is \( \frac{3}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{5} \)?
| \(\frac{1}{6}\) | |
| \(\frac{4}{21}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{7}\) | |
| 3 |
To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:
\( \frac{3}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{5} \) = \( \frac{3}{5} \) x \( \frac{5}{1} \)
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:
\( \frac{3}{5} \) x \( \frac{5}{1} \) = \( \frac{3 x 5}{5 x 1} \) = \( \frac{15}{5} \) = 3
