If there were a total of 50 raffle tickets sold and you bought 3 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
4%
7%
18%
5%

Solution

You have 3 out of the total of 50 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{3}{50} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{3 \times 100}{50} \) = \( \frac{300}{50} \) = 7% chance to win the raffle.

What is \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{175} \) - \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)

38% Answer Correctly
21\( \sqrt{7} \)
20\( \sqrt{175} \)
\( \sqrt{25} \)
\( \sqrt{175} \)

Solution

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

5\( \sqrt{175} \) - 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
5\( \sqrt{25 \times 7} \) - 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
5\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 7} \) - 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
(5)(5)\( \sqrt{7} \) - 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
25\( \sqrt{7} \) - 4\( \sqrt{7} \)

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

25\( \sqrt{7} \) - 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
(25 - 4)\( \sqrt{7} \)
21\( \sqrt{7} \)


3

Solve for \( \frac{2!}{3!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
6
\( \frac{1}{3024} \)
\( \frac{1}{3} \)
6720

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{2!}{3!} \)
\( \frac{2 \times 1}{3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{3} \)
\( \frac{1}{3} \)

a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

commutative property for multiplication

distributive property for multiplication

distributive property for division

commutative property for division


Solution

The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.


5

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 3:1 and all 47,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
31,333
35,250
20,667
36,000

Solution

A ratio of 3:1 means that there are 3 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 4 fans, 3 are home fans and \( \frac{3}{4} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

47,000 fans x \( \frac{3}{4} \) = \( \frac{141000}{4} \) = 35,250 fans.
