A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 5 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 5 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?

53% Answer Correctly
5:8
1:2
5:2
25:2

Solution

The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 5:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 5:1. To solve this problem, we need the baseball card side of each ratio to be equal so we need to rewrite the ratios in terms of a common number of baseball cards. (Think of this like finding the common denominator when adding fractions.) The ratio of football to baseball cards can also be written as 25:10 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 10:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 25:10, 10:2 which reduces to 25:2.

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 70 pounds of food in 10 days that's \( \frac{70}{10} \) = 7 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 105 - 70 = 35 more pounds of food to reach 105 pounds total. At 7 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{35}{7} \) = 5 more days.

If there were a total of 450 raffle tickets sold and you bought 22 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
11%
19%
15%
5%

Solution

You have 22 out of the total of 450 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{22}{450} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{22 \times 100}{450} \) = \( \frac{2200}{450} \) = 5% chance to win the raffle.
