Betty scored 78% on her final exam. If each question was worth 4 points and there were 160 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Betty answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
22
31
16
23

Solution

Betty scored 78% on the test meaning she earned 78% of the possible points on the test. There were 160 possible points on the test so she earned 160 x 0.78 = 124 points. Each question is worth 4 points so she got \( \frac{124}{4} \) = 31 questions right.

If \(\left|a\right| = 7\), which of the following best describes a?

67% Answer Correctly

a = -7

a = 7 or a = -7

a = 7

none of these is correct


Solution

The absolute value is the positive magnitude of a particular number or variable and is indicated by two vertical lines: \(\left|-5\right| = 5\). In the case of a variable absolute value (\(\left|a\right| = 5\)) the value of a can be either positive or negative (a = -5 or a = 5).

5

How many 14-passenger vans will it take to drive all 47 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
7 vans
3 vans
5 vans
4 vans

Solution

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

vans = \( \frac{47}{14} \) = 3\(\frac{5}{14}\)

So, it will take 3 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 4 vans.
