1

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

60% Answer Correctly

distributive

commutative

PEDMAS

associative


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.


2

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 2:1 and all 46,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

49% Answer Correctly
33,000
24,000
33,750
30,667

Solution

A ratio of 2:1 means that there are 2 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 3 fans, 2 are home fans and \( \frac{2}{3} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

46,000 fans x \( \frac{2}{3} \) = \( \frac{92000}{3} \) = 30,667 fans.


3

How many hours does it take a car to travel 375 miles at an average speed of 75 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
5 hours
2 hours
4 hours
6 hours

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 time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{375mi}{75mph} \)
5 hours

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 35% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

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 35% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{35\text{%}}{2} \) = 17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

15 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 4 3-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?

75% Answer Correctly
5
3
9
2

Solution

There are 4 3-passenger taxis available so that's 4 x 3 = 12 total seats. There are 15 people needing transportation leaving 15 - 12 = 3 who will have to find other transportation.
