If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 4:1 and all 47,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
37,600
22,000
29,600
39,200

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:

47,000 fans x \( \frac{4}{5} \) = \( \frac{188000}{5} \) = 37,600 fans.

What is \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{50} \) + \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{2} \)

35% Answer Correctly
45\( \sqrt{25} \)
34\( \sqrt{2} \)
14\( \sqrt{25} \)
45\( \sqrt{50} \)

Solution

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

5\( \sqrt{50} \) + 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
5\( \sqrt{25 \times 2} \) + 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
5\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 2} \) + 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
(5)(5)\( \sqrt{2} \) + 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
25\( \sqrt{2} \) + 9\( \sqrt{2} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

25\( \sqrt{2} \) + 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
(25 + 9)\( \sqrt{2} \)
34\( \sqrt{2} \)


3

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
8
6
3
12

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 1

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 + 1
a6 = 5 + 1
a6 = 6


4

Find the average of the following numbers: 11, 9, 12, 8.

75% Answer Correctly
5
10
12
13

Solution

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

\( \frac{11 + 9 + 12 + 8}{4} \) = \( \frac{40}{4} \) = 10


5

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({5 \over 7} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)


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.
