How many 1 gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 6 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
6
5
9
3

Solution

To fill a 6 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 3 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1 gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{3 \text{ gallons}}{1 \text{ gallons}} \) = 3


2

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 10% off." If Bob buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $27, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$2.70
$32.40
$51.30
$29.70

Solution

By buying two shirts, Bob will save $27 x \( \frac{10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$27 x 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$270}{100} \) = $2.70 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$27.00 + ($27.00 - $2.70)
$27.00 + $24.30
$51.30

a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

commutative property for multiplication

commutative property for division

distributive property for multiplication

distributive property for division


Solution

The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.


4

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 45% off." If Roger buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $32, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$12.80
$14.40
$8.00
$16.00

Solution

By buying two shirts, Roger will save $32 x \( \frac{45}{100} \) = \( \frac{$32 x 45}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1440}{100} \) = $14.40 on the second shirt.


5

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 70% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
25%
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
35%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 70% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{70\text{%}}{2} \) = 35%
