2

If there were a total of 150 raffle tickets sold and you bought 10 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
7%
9%
19%
1%

Solution

You have 10 out of the total of 150 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{10}{150} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{10 \times 100}{150} \) = \( \frac{1000}{150} \) = 7% chance to win the raffle.


3

What is \( 3 \)\( \sqrt{8} \) - \( 2 \)\( \sqrt{2} \)

38% Answer Correctly
6\( \sqrt{16} \)
\( \sqrt{0} \)
\( \sqrt{8} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

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

3\( \sqrt{8} \) - 2\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{4 \times 2} \) - 2\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 2} \) - 2\( \sqrt{2} \)
(3)(2)\( \sqrt{2} \) - 2\( \sqrt{2} \)
6\( \sqrt{2} \) - 2\( \sqrt{2} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:

6\( \sqrt{2} \) - 2\( \sqrt{2} \)
(6 - 2)\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)


4

The __________ is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.

56% Answer Correctly

greatest common factor

least common multiple


Solution

The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.


5

The total water usage for a city is 20,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 24% is for personal use and 57% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
9,500
9,100
6,000
6,600

Solution

57% of the water consumption is industrial use and 24% is personal use so (57% - 24%) = 33% more water is used for industrial purposes. 20,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{33}{100} \) x 20,000 gallons = 6,600 gallons.
