Christine scored 76% on her final exam. If each question was worth 2 points and there were 160 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Christine answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
70
63
56
61

Solution

Christine scored 76% on the test meaning she earned 76% of the possible points on the test. There were 160 possible points on the test so she earned 160 x 0.76 = 122 points. Each question is worth 2 points so she got \( \frac{122}{2} \) = 61 questions right.


2

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 30% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
15%
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
20%

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 30% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{30\text{%}}{2} \) = 15%


3

What is the greatest common factor of 28 and 32?

77% Answer Correctly
11
10
4
8

Solution

The factors of 28 are [1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28] and the factors of 32 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 the greatest factor 28 and 32 have in common.


4

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

71% Answer Correctly

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({2 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.


5

\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

distributive property for division

distributive property for multiplication

commutative property for multiplication

commutative property for division


Solution

The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).
