If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 2:1 and all 45,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

49% Answer Correctly
26,667
20,000
26,000
30,000

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:

45,000 fans x \( \frac{2}{3} \) = \( \frac{90000}{3} \) = 30,000 fans.

How many hours does it take a car to travel 60 miles at an average speed of 20 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
2 hours
4 hours
3 hours
9 hours

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 time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{60mi}{20mph} \)
3 hours


3

If a car travels 520 miles in 8 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
65 mph
40 mph
50 mph
35 mph

Solution

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

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{520mi}{8h} \)
65 mph


4

What is \( \frac{35\sqrt{24}}{5\sqrt{8}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
7 \( \sqrt{3} \)
\(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{7} \)
3 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{35\sqrt{24}}{5\sqrt{8}} \)
\( \frac{35}{5} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{24}{8}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{3} \)


5

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{81}{9}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
1
3
4\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1\(\frac{4}{5}\)

Solution

To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:

\( \sqrt{\frac{81}{9}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{81}}{\sqrt{9}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{9^2}}{\sqrt{3^2}} \)
\( \frac{9}{3} \)
