April scored 73% on her final exam. If each question was worth 2 points and there were 60 possible points on the exam, how many questions did April answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
32
29
22
36

Solution

April scored 73% on the test meaning she earned 73% of the possible points on the test. There were 60 possible points on the test so she earned 60 x 0.73 = 44 points. Each question is worth 2 points so she got \( \frac{44}{2} \) = 22 questions right.


2

What is \( \frac{1}{5} \) x \( \frac{3}{7} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{3}{16}\)
\(\frac{1}{9}\)
\(\frac{3}{35}\)
\(\frac{3}{5}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{1}{5} \) x \( \frac{3}{7} \) = \( \frac{1 x 3}{5 x 7} \) = \( \frac{3}{35} \) = \(\frac{3}{35}\)

A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 3 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 3 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?

53% Answer Correctly
1:6
3:2
9:2
5:4

Solution

The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 3:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 3:1. To solve this problem, we need the baseball card side of each ratio to be equal so we need to rewrite the ratios in terms of a common number of baseball cards. (Think of this like finding the common denominator when adding fractions.) The ratio of football to baseball cards can also be written as 9:6 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 6:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 9:6, 6:2 which reduces to 9:2.


4

What is -7z5 x 8z5?

75% Answer Correctly
z5
-56z5
-56z25
-56z10

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

-7z5 x 8z5
(-7 x 8)z(5 + 5)
-56z10


5

A triathlon course includes a 300m swim, a 20.3km bike ride, and a 12.3km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
50.9km
37.1km
47km
32.9km

Solution

To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 300 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.3km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.3km + 20.3km + 12.3km
total distance = 32.9km
