David and John share $455 in the ratio of 2:3, respectively. How much money does John get?
-
$182
-
$273
-
$91
-
$175
Correct Answer
A. $273Explanation
David and John share $455 in the ratio of 2:3. This means for every 2 units that David receives, John receives 3 units. To find out how much money each person gets, you first need to determine the total number of parts into which the money is divided:
Total parts = 2 (David) + 3 (John) = 5 parts
Now, calculate the value of one part:
Value of one part = Total money / Total parts = $455 / 5 = $91
Finally, calculate how much John receives by multiplying the value of one part by the number of parts John receives:
Money John receives = 3 parts x $91/part = $273
Therefore, John receives $273.Rate this question:

The ratio of girls to boys in a school is 5:7. If there are 525 girls, how many boys are there?
-
375
-
625
-
735
-
325
Correct Answer
A. 735Explanation
The ratio of girls to boys in the school is 5:7. This means for every 5 girls, there are 7 boys. Given there are 525 girls, we first determine how many times the part of the ratio (5) fits into the actual number of girls (525).
Calculate the multiplier for the ratio:
525 (number of girls) / 5 (girl ratio part) = 105
Now, use this multiplier to find the number of boys:
Multiply the boy ratio part by the multiplier:
7 (boy ratio part) x 105 (multiplier) = 735
Therefore, there are 735 boys in the school.Rate this question:

What is the result when you reduce $80 by 11%?
-
$8.80
-
$71.20
-
$69
-
None
Correct Answer
A. $71.20Explanation
To find the amount remaining after reducing $80 by 11%, first calculate 11% of $80. Multiply 80 by 0.11 to get the reduction amount. This calculation gives 80 * 0.11 = $8.80. Now, subtract this amount from the original $80 to find the reduced total. The calculation is 80 - 8.80 = $71.20. Therefore, when you reduce $80 by 11%, you will get $71.20. This result is achieved by applying the percentage reduction to the original amount and subtracting the calculated value from the original total.Rate this question:

Change 36 km/h to meters per second:
-
20
-
10
-
36
-
None
Correct Answer
A. 10Explanation
Convert kilometers to meters: 1 kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m). So, 36 km = 36 * 1000 = 36000 meters.
Convert hours to seconds: 1 hour = 60 minutes, and 1 minute = 60 seconds. So, 1 hour = 60 * 60 = 3600 seconds.
Divide the distance in meters by the time in seconds: 36000 meters / 3600 seconds = 10 meters/second.Rate this question:

If x-12y = 0, what is y/x?
-
1/6
-
12
-
1/12
-
None
Correct Answer
A. 1/12Explanation
To find the ratio of y/x from the equation x-12y = 0, first rearrange the equation to solve for y in terms of x. By moving all terms involving y to one side and all other terms to the opposite side, we get x = 12y. Now, divide both sides of this equation by x to isolate y/x on one side. This gives us y/x = 1/12. Hence, the value of y/x equals 1/12. This is calculated by dividing the coefficient of y by the coefficient of x in the rearranged equation.Rate this question:

Let the three consecutive even numbers be
𝑥, x+2, and x+4.
Their sum is given by:
x+(x+2)+(x+4)=222
Combine like terms:
3x+6=222
Subtract 6 from both sides:
3x=216
Divide both sides by 3:
x=72
Therefore, the three consecutive even numbers are:
x=72
x+2=74
x+4=76
So, the numbers are 72, 74, and 76.Rate this question:

Given the equation y2+ 4=20, what are the values of y?
-
4 only
-
-4 only
-
4 or -4
-
16
Correct Answer
A. 4 or -4Explanation
To solve the equation y^2 + 4 = 20, first subtract 4 from both sides:
y^2 + 4 - 4 = 20 - 4
This simplifies to:
y^2 = 16
Next, find y by taking the square root of both sides. Remember, squaring a number results in a positive value, and the square root of a positive number has both a positive and negative solution:
y = sqrt(16)
This gives:
y = 4 and y = -4
Therefore, y equals both 4 and -4.Rate this question:

The price of an item increases by 20% and then decreases by 20%. What is the net effect on the price?
-
Increased by 4%
-
Decreased by 4%
-
Increased by 0%
-
Increased by 40%
Correct Answer
A. Decreased by 4%Explanation
Let's assume the original price of the item is $100.
Price after increase: After a 20% increase, the price becomes $100 + ($100 * 20/100) = $120.
Price after decrease: After a 20% decrease, the price becomes $120 - ($120 * 20/100) = $96.
Net change: The net change in price is $96 - $100 = -$4.
Percentage change: The percentage change is (-$4 / $100) * 100% = -4%.
Therefore, the net effect on the price is a decrease of 4%.Rate this question:
