1

A bread recipe calls for 2\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{3}{4}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
1\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups
3 cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (2\(\frac{3}{8}\) - \(\frac{3}{4}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{19}{8} \) - \( \frac{6}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{13}{8} \) cups
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups


2

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 55% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
25%
15%
30%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 55% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{55\text{%}}{2} \) = 27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


3

What is \( \frac{4}{6} \) x \( \frac{4}{5} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{18}\)
\(\frac{8}{15}\)
\(\frac{2}{9}\)
2\(\frac{2}{3}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{4}{6} \) x \( \frac{4}{5} \) = \( \frac{4 x 4}{6 x 5} \) = \( \frac{16}{30} \) = \(\frac{8}{15}\)

Christine scored 92% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 300 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Christine answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
88
86
92
98

Solution

Christine scored 92% on the test meaning she earned 92% of the possible points on the test. There were 300 possible points on the test so she earned 300 x 0.92 = 276 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{276}{3} \) = 92 questions right.


5

4! = ?

85% Answer Correctly

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3

3 x 2 x 1


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.
