How many 14-passenger vans will it take to drive all 73 members of the football team to an away game?

80% Answer Correctly
4 vans
7 vans
6 vans
14 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{73}{14} \) = 5\(\frac{3}{14}\)

So, it will take 5 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 6 vans.


2

What is \( \frac{3}{3} \) + \( \frac{5}{7} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{5}{7}\)
\( \frac{5}{21} \)
\( \frac{7}{21} \)
1 \( \frac{5}{21} \)

Solution

To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 3 are [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30] and the first few multiples of 7 are [7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70]. The first few multiples they share are [21, 42, 63, 84] making 21 the smallest multiple 3 and 7 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{3 x 7}{3 x 7} \) + \( \frac{5 x 3}{7 x 3} \)

\( \frac{21}{21} \) + \( \frac{15}{21} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:

\( \frac{21 + 15}{21} \) = \( \frac{36}{21} \) = 1\(\frac{5}{7}\)

If all of a roofing company's 8 workers are required to staff 4 roofing crews, how many workers need to be added during the busy season in order to send 8 complete crews out on jobs?

55% Answer Correctly
9
15
2
8

Solution

In order to find how many additional workers are needed to staff the extra crews you first need to calculate how many workers are on a crew. There are 8 workers at the company now and that's enough to staff 4 crews so there are \( \frac{8}{4} \) = 2 workers on a crew. 8 crews are needed for the busy season which, at 2 workers per crew, means that the roofing company will need 8 x 2 = 16 total workers to staff the crews during the busy season. The company already employs 8 workers so they need to add 16 - 8 = 8 new staff for the busy season.


5

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 2:1 and all 33,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
38,333
22,000
22,667
29,250

Solution

A ratio of 2:1 means that there are 2 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 3 fans, 2 are home fans and \( \frac{2}{3} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

33,000 fans x \( \frac{2}{3} \) = \( \frac{66000}{3} \) = 22,000 fans.
