1

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 90 pounds of food in 9 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 130 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
4
6
10
5

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 90 pounds of food in 9 days that's \( \frac{90}{9} \) = 10 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 130 - 90 = 40 more pounds of food to reach 130 pounds total. At 10 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{40}{10} \) = 4 more days.

The total water usage for a city is 5,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 28% is for personal use and 40% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
600
2,400
3,000
3,900

Solution

40% of the water consumption is industrial use and 28% is personal use so (40% - 28%) = 12% more water is used for industrial purposes. 5,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{12}{100} \) x 5,000 gallons = 600 gallons.


3

4! = ?

84% Answer Correctly

4 x 3

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.


4

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 8 hours at an average speed of 75 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
600 miles
150 miles
480 miles
270 miles

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 75mph \times 8h \)
600 miles

Solve 4 + (4 + 4) ÷ 5 x 2 - 42

52% Answer Correctly
4\(\frac{1}{2}\)
3\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1
-8\(\frac{4}{5}\)

Solution

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

4 + (4 + 4) ÷ 5 x 2 - 42
P: 4 + (8) ÷ 5 x 2 - 42
E: 4 + 8 ÷ 5 x 2 - 16
MD: 4 + \( \frac{8}{5} \) x 2 - 16
MD: 4 + \( \frac{16}{5} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{20}{5} \) + \( \frac{16}{5} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{36}{5} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{36 - 80}{5} \)
\( \frac{-44}{5} \)
-8\(\frac{4}{5}\)
