2

If all of a roofing company's 4 workers are required to staff 2 roofing crews, how many workers need to be added during the busy season in order to send 4 complete crews out on jobs?

55% Answer Correctly
4
1
10
12

Solution

In order to find how many additional workers are needed to staff the extra crews you first need to calculate how many workers are on a crew. There are 4 workers at the company now and that's enough to staff 2 crews so there are \( \frac{4}{2} \) = 2 workers on a crew. 4 crews are needed for the busy season which, at 2 workers per crew, means that the roofing company will need 4 x 2 = 8 total workers to staff the crews during the busy season. The company already employs 4 workers so they need to add 8 - 4 = 4 new staff for the busy season.

What is \( \frac{8}{8} \) + \( \frac{3}{16} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
1 \( \frac{1}{7} \)
2 \( \frac{9}{16} \)
1\(\frac{3}{16}\)
1 \( \frac{9}{15} \)

Solution

To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 8 are [8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80] and the first few multiples of 16 are [16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96]. The first few multiples they share are [16, 32, 48, 64, 80] making 16 the smallest multiple 8 and 16 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{8 x 2}{8 x 2} \) + \( \frac{3 x 1}{16 x 1} \)

\( \frac{16}{16} \) + \( \frac{3}{16} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:

\( \frac{16 + 3}{16} \) = \( \frac{19}{16} \) = 1\(\frac{3}{16}\)

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 3 hours at an average speed of 40 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
120 miles
175 miles
270 miles
135 miles

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 40mph \times 3h \)
120 miles

If there were a total of 450 raffle tickets sold and you bought 22 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
5%
11%
17%
13%

Solution

You have 22 out of the total of 450 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{22}{450} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{22 \times 100}{450} \) = \( \frac{2200}{450} \) = 5% chance to win the raffle.
