If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 3:1 and all 48,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

49% Answer Correctly
41,667
36,000
37,600
28,000

Solution

A ratio of 3:1 means that there are 3 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 4 fans, 3 are home fans and \( \frac{3}{4} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

48,000 fans x \( \frac{3}{4} \) = \( \frac{144000}{4} \) = 36,000 fans.

What is \( 3 \)\( \sqrt{50} \) + \( 8 \)\( \sqrt{2} \)

35% Answer Correctly
24\( \sqrt{25} \)
11\( \sqrt{100} \)
23\( \sqrt{2} \)
24\( \sqrt{100} \)

Solution

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

3\( \sqrt{50} \) + 8\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{25 \times 2} \) + 8\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 2} \) + 8\( \sqrt{2} \)
(3)(5)\( \sqrt{2} \) + 8\( \sqrt{2} \)
15\( \sqrt{2} \) + 8\( \sqrt{2} \)

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

15\( \sqrt{2} \) + 8\( \sqrt{2} \)
(15 + 8)\( \sqrt{2} \)
23\( \sqrt{2} \)

If a mayor is elected with 65% of the votes cast and 52% of a town's 13,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

50% Answer Correctly
3,988
5,881
4,935
4,394

Solution

If 52% of the town's 13,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{52}{100} \)) x 13,000 = \( \frac{676,000}{100} \) = 6,760

The mayor got 65% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{65}{100} \)) x 6,760 = \( \frac{439,400}{100} \) = 4,394 votes.

Diane scored 95% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 120 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Diane answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
35
24
38
52

Solution

Diane scored 95% on the test meaning she earned 95% of the possible points on the test. There were 120 possible points on the test so she earned 120 x 0.95 = 114 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{114}{3} \) = 38 questions right.
