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?

50% Answer Correctly
15%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
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%

What is \( \frac{4}{7} \) x \( \frac{2}{8} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{14}\)
\(\frac{1}{7}\)
\(\frac{2}{15}\)
1

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{4}{7} \) x \( \frac{2}{8} \) = \( \frac{4 x 2}{7 x 8} \) = \( \frac{8}{56} \) = \(\frac{1}{7}\)

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

59% Answer Correctly

associative

commutative

distributive

PEDMAS


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.

75% Answer Correctly
2
8
9
4

There are 4 2-passenger taxis available so that's 4 x 2 = 8 total seats. There are 12 people needing transportation leaving 12 - 8 = 4 who will have to find other transportation.


5

What is 9b6 + 8b6?

66% Answer Correctly
17b12
17b6
17b36
b-6

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so add the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

9b6 + 8b6
(9 + 8)b6
17b6
