If there were a total of 450 raffle tickets sold and you bought 27 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
4%
17%
14%
6%

Solution

You have 27 out of the total of 450 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{27}{450} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{27 \times 100}{450} \) = \( \frac{2700}{450} \) = 6% chance to win the raffle.

How many 7-passenger vans will it take to drive all 90 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
13 vans
9 vans
6 vans
7 vans

Solution

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

vans = \( \frac{90}{7} \) = 12\(\frac{6}{7}\)

So, it will take 12 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 13 vans.


3

13 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 3 3-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?

75% Answer Correctly
9
3
4
2

Solution

There are 3 3-passenger taxis available so that's 3 x 3 = 9 total seats. There are 13 people needing transportation leaving 13 - 9 = 4 who will have to find other transportation.


4

Convert c-2 to remove the negative exponent.

68% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-1}{-2c} \)
\( \frac{1}{c^{-2}} \)
\( \frac{1}{c^2} \)
\( \frac{-1}{c^{-2}} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.


5

What is \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{45} \) - \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{5} \)

39% Answer Correctly
2\( \sqrt{16} \)
20\( \sqrt{5} \)
63\( \sqrt{45} \)
2\( \sqrt{225} \)

Solution

To subtract these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

9\( \sqrt{45} \) - 7\( \sqrt{5} \)
9\( \sqrt{9 \times 5} \) - 7\( \sqrt{5} \)
9\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 5} \) - 7\( \sqrt{5} \)
(9)(3)\( \sqrt{5} \) - 7\( \sqrt{5} \)
27\( \sqrt{5} \) - 7\( \sqrt{5} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:

27\( \sqrt{5} \) - 7\( \sqrt{5} \)
(27 - 7)\( \sqrt{5} \)
20\( \sqrt{5} \)
