15 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 3 4-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?
| 9 | |
| 4 | |
| 3 | |
| 7 |
There are 3 4-passenger taxis available so that's 3 x 4 = 12 total seats. There are 15 people needing transportation leaving 15 - 12 = 3 who will have to find other transportation.
How many 14-passenger vans will it take to drive all 68 members of the football team to an away game?
| 4 vans | |
| 3 vans | |
| 5 vans | |
| 6 vans |
Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:
vans = \( \frac{68}{14} \) = 4\(\frac{6}{7}\)
So, it will take 4 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 5 vans.

A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 5 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 5 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?
| 3:4 | |
| 7:8 | |
| 9:4 | |
| 25:2 |
The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 5:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 5:1. To solve this problem, we need the baseball card side of each ratio to be equal so we need to rewrite the ratios in terms of a common number of baseball cards. (Think of this like finding the common denominator when adding fractions.) The ratio of football to baseball cards can also be written as 25:10 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 10:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 25:10, 10:2 which reduces to 25:2.
