77% Answer Correctly

-1

2

How many 16-passenger vans will it take to drive all 66 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
9 vans
4 vans
6 vans
5 vans

Solution

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

vans = \( \frac{66}{16} \) = 4\(\frac{1}{8}\)

So, it will take 4 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 5 vans.


3

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

70% Answer Correctly

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({2 \over 5} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.


4

How many 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 20 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
6
4
8
3

Solution

To fill a 20 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 10 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{10 \text{ gallons}}{2\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 4


5

Find the average of the following numbers: 11, 5, 9, 7.

74% Answer Correctly
6
11
12
8

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{11 + 5 + 9 + 7}{4} \) = \( \frac{32}{4} \) = 8
