1

In a class of 27 students, 14 are taking German and 7 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 2 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
23
18
14
8

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 14 + 7 = 21. Of that group of 21, 2 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 21 - 2 = 19 who are taking at least one language. 27 - 19 = 8 students who are not taking either language.

How many hours does it take a car to travel 175 miles at an average speed of 25 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
5 hours
8 hours
2 hours
7 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 = \( \frac{175mi}{25mph} \)
7 hours

Simplify \( \sqrt{112} \)

62% Answer Correctly
8\( \sqrt{7} \)
4\( \sqrt{14} \)
4\( \sqrt{7} \)
6\( \sqrt{7} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{112} \)
\( \sqrt{16 \times 7} \)
\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 7} \)
4\( \sqrt{7} \)


4

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 4:1 and all 35,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
31,500
29,250
27,750
28,000

Solution

A ratio of 4:1 means that there are 4 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 5 fans, 4 are home fans and \( \frac{4}{5} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

35,000 fans x \( \frac{4}{5} \) = \( \frac{140000}{5} \) = 28,000 fans.
