If all of a roofing company's 16 workers are required to staff 4 roofing crews, how many workers need to be added during the busy season in order to send 9 complete crews out on jobs?

55% Answer Correctly
6
15
19
20

Solution

In order to find how many additional workers are needed to staff the extra crews you first need to calculate how many workers are on a crew. There are 16 workers at the company now and that's enough to staff 4 crews so there are \( \frac{16}{4} \) = 4 workers on a crew. 9 crews are needed for the busy season which, at 4 workers per crew, means that the roofing company will need 9 x 4 = 36 total workers to staff the crews during the busy season. The company already employs 16 workers so they need to add 36 - 16 = 20 new staff for the busy season.

Latoya scored 94% on her final exam. If each question was worth 4 points and there were 360 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Latoya answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
85
86
83
89

Solution

Latoya scored 94% on the test meaning she earned 94% of the possible points on the test. There were 360 possible points on the test so she earned 360 x 0.94 = 340 points. Each question is worth 4 points so she got \( \frac{340}{4} \) = 85 questions right.

Convert 0.0005129 to scientific notation.

62% Answer Correctly
5.129 x 10-4
5.129 x 104
51.29 x 10-5
5.129 x 105

Solution

A number in scientific notation has the format 0.000 x 10exponent. To convert to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the right or the left until the number is a decimal between 1 and 10. The exponent of the 10 is the number of places you moved the decimal point and is positive if you moved the decimal point to the left and negative if you moved it to the right:

0.0005129 in scientific notation is 5.129 x 10-4

A triathlon course includes a 400m swim, a 40.8km bike ride, and a 10.6km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
58km
51.8km
32.2km
48.7km

Solution

To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 400 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.4km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.4km + 40.8km + 10.6km
total distance = 51.8km

If there were a total of 250 raffle tickets sold and you bought 15 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
5%
17%
7%
6%

Solution

You have 15 out of the total of 250 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{15}{250} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{15 \times 100}{250} \) = \( \frac{1500}{250} \) = 6% chance to win the raffle.
