How many 10-passenger vans will it take to drive all 50 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
8 vans
7 vans
6 vans
5 vans

Solution

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

vans = \( \frac{50}{10} \) = 5

A machine in a factory has an error rate of 9 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 5 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 6 hours for maintenance.

How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?

48% Answer Correctly
186.1
145.5
81.9
155.6

Solution

The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:

\( \frac{9}{100} \) x 5 = \( \frac{9 \times 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{45}{100} \) = 0.45 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 5 - 0.45 = 4.55 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 6 = 18 hours yesterday so you would expect that 18 x 4.55 = 81.9 error free parts were produced yesterday.

What is \( 6 \)\( \sqrt{112} \) + \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)

35% Answer Correctly
28\( \sqrt{7} \)
10\( \sqrt{7} \)
24\( \sqrt{16} \)
10\( \sqrt{16} \)

Solution

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

6\( \sqrt{112} \) + 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
6\( \sqrt{16 \times 7} \) + 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
6\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 7} \) + 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
(6)(4)\( \sqrt{7} \) + 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
24\( \sqrt{7} \) + 4\( \sqrt{7} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

24\( \sqrt{7} \) + 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
(24 + 4)\( \sqrt{7} \)
28\( \sqrt{7} \)


4

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

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{4}{25}\)
\(\frac{9}{25}\)
\(\frac{1}{10}\)
1\(\frac{4}{5}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{3}{5} \) x \( \frac{3}{5} \) = \( \frac{3 x 3}{5 x 5} \) = \( \frac{9}{25} \) = \(\frac{9}{25}\)

Which of these numbers is a factor of 32?

69% Answer Correctly
27
36
17
1

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 32 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32.
