2

The total water usage for a city is 40,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 32% is for personal use and 51% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
7,600
5,600
5,400
3,600

Solution

51% of the water consumption is industrial use and 32% is personal use so (51% - 32%) = 19% more water is used for industrial purposes. 40,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{19}{100} \) x 40,000 gallons = 7,600 gallons.

52% Answer Correctly
2
5
4

Solution

To fill a 4 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 2 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1 gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{2 \text{ gallons}}{1 \text{ gallons}} \) = 2


4

What is \( \frac{3}{9} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{6} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
2
\(\frac{1}{7}\)
18
\(\frac{1}{5}\)

Solution

To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:

\( \frac{3}{9} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{6} \) = \( \frac{3}{9} \) x \( \frac{6}{1} \)

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{3}{9} \) x \( \frac{6}{1} \) = \( \frac{3 x 6}{9 x 1} \) = \( \frac{18}{9} \) = 2


5

Charlie loaned Diane $500 at an annual interest rate of 5%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$515
$540
$525
$505

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 $500
i = 0.05 x $500

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

total = $500 + $25
total = $525
