If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 5:1 and all 35,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
30,000
31,667
34,400
29,167

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:

35,000 fans x \( \frac{5}{6} \) = \( \frac{175000}{6} \) = 29,167 fans.

Bob loaned Bob $400 at an annual interest rate of 3%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$12
$24
$84
$42

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $400
i = 0.03 x $400
i = $12

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 72 pounds of food in 6 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 120 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
8
4
1
9

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 72 pounds of food in 6 days that's \( \frac{72}{6} \) = 12 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 120 - 72 = 48 more pounds of food to reach 120 pounds total. At 12 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{48}{12} \) = 4 more days.

A machine in a factory has an error rate of 2 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 10 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 4 hours for maintenance.

How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?

49% Answer Correctly
196
115.9
159.8
102.6

Solution

The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:

\( \frac{2}{100} \) x 10 = \( \frac{2 \times 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{20}{100} \) = 0.2 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 10 - 0.2 = 9.8 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 4 = 20 hours yesterday so you would expect that 20 x 9.8 = 196 error free parts were produced yesterday.

\(\frac{4}{5}\)
1

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

3 + (3 + 4) ÷ 4 x 4 - 22
P: 3 + (7) ÷ 4 x 4 - 22
E: 3 + 7 ÷ 4 x 4 - 4
MD: 3 + \( \frac{7}{4} \) x 4 - 4
MD: 3 + \( \frac{28}{4} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{12}{4} \) + \( \frac{28}{4} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{40}{4} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{40 - 16}{4} \)
\( \frac{24}{4} \)
