The total water usage for a city is 50,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 32% is for personal use and 42% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
5,000
9,200
2,600
14,499

Solution

42% of the water consumption is industrial use and 32% is personal use so (42% - 32%) = 10% more water is used for industrial purposes. 50,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{10}{100} \) x 50,000 gallons = 5,000 gallons.


2

How many hours does it take a car to travel 40 miles at an average speed of 40 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
7 hours
5 hours
1 hour
3 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 = \( \frac{40mi}{40mph} \)
1 hour

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 48 pounds of food in 6 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 80 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
8
4
6
9

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 48 pounds of food in 6 days that's \( \frac{48}{6} \) = 8 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 80 - 48 = 32 more pounds of food to reach 80 pounds total. At 8 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{32}{8} \) = 4 more days.
