A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 3 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 3 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?

53% Answer Correctly
9:4
1:4
7:8
9:2

Solution

The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 3:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 3:1. To solve this problem, we need the baseball card side of each ratio to be equal so we need to rewrite the ratios in terms of a common number of baseball cards. (Think of this like finding the common denominator when adding fractions.) The ratio of football to baseball cards can also be written as 9:6 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 6:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 9:6, 6:2 which reduces to 9:2.

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 35% off." If Frank buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $48, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$16.80
$4.80
$19.20
$2.40

Solution

By buying two shirts, Frank will save $48 x \( \frac{35}{100} \) = \( \frac{$48 x 35}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1680}{100} \) = $16.80 on the second shirt.

How many 15-passenger vans will it take to drive all 92 members of the football team to an away game?

80% Answer Correctly
10 vans
13 vans
6 vans
7 vans

Solution

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

vans = \( \frac{92}{15} \) = 6\(\frac{2}{15}\)

So, it will take 6 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 7 vans.
