If there were a total of 200 raffle tickets sold and you bought 8 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
4%
17%
11%
7%

Solution

You have 8 out of the total of 200 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{8}{200} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{8 \times 100}{200} \) = \( \frac{800}{200} \) = 4% chance to win the raffle.


2

What is \( \frac{3}{2} \) + \( \frac{2}{10} \)?

59% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{6}{10} \)
\( \frac{7}{10} \)
1 \( \frac{1}{10} \)
1\(\frac{7}{10}\)

Solution

To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 2 are [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20] and the first few multiples of 10 are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50] making 10 the smallest multiple 2 and 10 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{3 x 5}{2 x 5} \) + \( \frac{2 x 1}{10 x 1} \)

\( \frac{15}{10} \) + \( \frac{2}{10} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:

\( \frac{15 + 2}{10} \) = \( \frac{17}{10} \) = 1\(\frac{7}{10}\)


3

What is \( \frac{2}{8} \) x \( \frac{1}{6} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{24}\)
\(\frac{4}{15}\)
\(\frac{2}{21}\)
\(\frac{1}{9}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{2}{8} \) x \( \frac{1}{6} \) = \( \frac{2 x 1}{8 x 6} \) = \( \frac{2}{48} \) = \(\frac{1}{24}\)


4

4! = ?

84% Answer Correctly

4 x 3

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.


5

A machine in a factory has an error rate of 7 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 9 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 8 hours for maintenance.

How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?

49% Answer Correctly
108.3
128.8
144.4
133.9

Solution

The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:

\( \frac{7}{100} \) x 9 = \( \frac{7 \times 9}{100} \) = \( \frac{63}{100} \) = 0.63 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 9 - 0.63 = 8.37 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 8 = 16 hours yesterday so you would expect that 16 x 8.37 = 133.9 error free parts were produced yesterday.
