If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 2:1 and all 34,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
24,667
22,667
33,000
35,200

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:

34,000 fans x \( \frac{2}{3} \) = \( \frac{68000}{3} \) = 22,667 fans.

A triathlon course includes a 100m swim, a 40.1km bike ride, and a 12.6km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
52.8km
61.4km
30.7km
34km

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 100 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.1km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.1km + 40.1km + 12.6km
total distance = 52.8km

How many 14-passenger vans will it take to drive all 72 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
11 vans
8 vans
7 vans
6 vans

Solution

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

vans = \( \frac{72}{14} \) = 5\(\frac{1}{7}\)

So, it will take 5 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 6 vans.

A bread recipe calls for 2 cups of flour. If you only have 1\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups, how much more flour is needed?

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

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (2 - 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{16}{8} \) - \( \frac{10}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{6}{8} \) cups
\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 5% off." If Frank buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $19, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$18.05
$37.05
$25.65
$0.95

Solution

By buying two shirts, Frank will save $19 x \( \frac{5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$19 x 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$95}{100} \) = $0.95 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$19.00 + ($19.00 - $0.95)
$19.00 + $18.05
$37.05
