How many 12-passenger vans will it take to drive all 38 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
7 vans
4 vans
5 vans
9 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{38}{12} \) = 3\(\frac{1}{6}\)

So, it will take 3 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 4 vans.

Charlie loaned April $1,200 at an annual interest rate of 7%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$1,248
$1,236
$1,212
$1,284

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $1,200
i = 0.07 x $1,200

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $1,200 + $84
total = $1,284

A bread recipe calls for 3\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have 1 cup, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups
1\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (3\(\frac{1}{8}\) - 1) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{25}{8} \) - \( \frac{8}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{17}{8} \) cups
2\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups

What is \( 2 \)\( \sqrt{45} \) - \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{5} \)

38% Answer Correctly
-2\( \sqrt{45} \)
-2\( \sqrt{9} \)
8\( \sqrt{225} \)
2\( \sqrt{5} \)

Solution

To subtract these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

2\( \sqrt{45} \) - 4\( \sqrt{5} \)
2\( \sqrt{9 \times 5} \) - 4\( \sqrt{5} \)
2\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 5} \) - 4\( \sqrt{5} \)
(2)(3)\( \sqrt{5} \) - 4\( \sqrt{5} \)
6\( \sqrt{5} \) - 4\( \sqrt{5} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:

6\( \sqrt{5} \) - 4\( \sqrt{5} \)
(6 - 4)\( \sqrt{5} \)
2\( \sqrt{5} \)
