If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 5:1 and all 37,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
24,750
33,333
30,833
27,333

Solution

A ratio of 5:1 means that there are 5 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 6 fans, 5 are home fans and \( \frac{5}{6} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

37,000 fans x \( \frac{5}{6} \) = \( \frac{185000}{6} \) = 30,833 fans.

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 6 hours at an average speed of 40 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
175 miles
240 miles
520 miles
90 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 = \( 40mph \times 6h \)
240 miles
