If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 3:1 and all 32,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
36,667
35,833
24,000
26,250

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:

32,000 fans x \( \frac{3}{4} \) = \( \frac{96000}{4} \) = 24,000 fans.

If there were a total of 450 raffle tickets sold and you bought 40 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
18%
7%
4%
9%

Solution

You have 40 out of the total of 450 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{40}{450} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{40 \times 100}{450} \) = \( \frac{4000}{450} \) = 9% chance to win the raffle.

all of these are false

b1 = b


Solution

A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).
