2

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 5:1 and all 33,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

49% Answer Correctly
29,250
27,500
34,400
25,000

Solution

A ratio of 5:1 means that there are 5 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 6 fans, 5 are home fans and \( \frac{5}{6} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

33,000 fans x \( \frac{5}{6} \) = \( \frac{165000}{6} \) = 27,500 fans.

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 25% off." If Charlie buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $17, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$5.95
$4.25
$3.40
$5.10

Solution

By buying two shirts, Charlie will save $17 x \( \frac{25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$17 x 25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$425}{100} \) = $4.25 on the second shirt.

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 7, 13, 19, 25, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
24
23
31
34

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 6

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 6
a6 = 25 + 6
a6 = 31

A triathlon course includes a 500m swim, a 30.8km bike ride, and a 12.9km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
37.5km
44.2km
35.6km
50.5km

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 500 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.5km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.5km + 30.8km + 12.9km
total distance = 44.2km
