How many 10-passenger vans will it take to drive all 45 members of the football team to an away game?

80% Answer Correctly
5 vans
4 vans
11 vans
12 vans

Solution

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

vans = \( \frac{45}{10} \) = 4\(\frac{1}{2}\)

So, it will take 4 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 5 vans.


2

What is 6x4 x 6x4?

75% Answer Correctly
12x4
12x8
36x4
36x8

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:

6x4 x 6x4
(6 x 6)x(4 + 4)
36x8


3

Simplify \( \sqrt{45} \)

62% Answer Correctly
4\( \sqrt{10} \)
6\( \sqrt{10} \)
3\( \sqrt{5} \)
9\( \sqrt{10} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{45} \)
\( \sqrt{9 \times 5} \)
\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 5} \)
3\( \sqrt{5} \)


4

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 2 hours at an average speed of 45 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
180 miles
60 miles
90 miles
260 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 = \( 45mph \times 2h \)
90 miles

In a class of 31 students, 13 are taking German and 12 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 3 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
10
9
22
12

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 13 + 12 = 25. Of that group of 25, 3 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 25 - 3 = 22 who are taking at least one language. 31 - 22 = 9 students who are not taking either language.
