1

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 55% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

50% Answer Correctly
30%
35%
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 55% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{55\text{%}}{2} \) = 27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


2

What is \( \frac{4}{7} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{7} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
4
\(\frac{4}{15}\)
28
\(\frac{2}{27}\)

Solution

To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:

\( \frac{4}{7} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{7} \) = \( \frac{4}{7} \) x \( \frac{7}{1} \)

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

\( \frac{4}{7} \) x \( \frac{7}{1} \) = \( \frac{4 x 7}{7 x 1} \) = \( \frac{28}{7} \) = 4

5

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 6 hours at an average speed of 20 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
180 miles
200 miles
120 miles
60 miles

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 distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 20mph \times 6h \)
120 miles
