ANSWER KEY

QUESTION CORRECT ANSWER

A
Given:
A=⅖M
M=⅓M
R = 400 M

1 Solution:
M - ⅖ M = ⅗ M ← Left after Alice took
⅗ M - ⅓ M = (4/15) M ← Left after Myron took

(4/15) M = 400
M = 1500 marbles

E
Given:
Divided the rectangular wall into 4
1st = Red = ¼
2nd = Blue = ⅖
2 3rd = Green = 3/10
4th = Yellow

Solution:
Yellow = 1 - ¼ - ⅖ -(3/10) = 1/20

B
Given:
120 seeds
Squash = ⅓ Pumpkin

3 Solution:
Pumpkin + Squash = 120
Pumpkin + ⅓ Pumpkin = 120
(4/3) Pumpkin = 120
Pumpkin = 90 pumpkin seeds

B
Given:
12 L = 20% vinegar
4
3L water added

Solution:
 12(0.2) = 2.4L of Vinegar
2.4/ 12 + 3 = 2.4 /15 = 0.16 or 16%

D
Given:
33 ⅓ % = 1 hour ← Jenny
50% = 1 hour ← Maris

5 Solution:
Maris = 150 bracelets
150 (0.5) = (33 ⅓/100) J
75 = ⅓ J
J = 225 Bracelets

D
Given:
5/12 = Males
¼ = Males with Masters degree
6
Solution:
¼ / (5/12) = ⅗

C
Given:
F = Fraction
Let F = X /Y
X + 1 /Y = 1
X/Y +1 = ½

Solution:
7 Y=X+1
X/X+1+1=½
X + 2 = 2X
X=2

Y=X+1=2+1=3
F = X/Y = ⅔

B
Given:
⅓ =B
8
⅓ remaining = W

B + W = 60
 Solution:
T - ⅓ = ⅔ T ← Left if we remove black
⅔ T (⅓) = (2/9) T

B + W = 60
(2/9)T + ⅓ T = 60
(5/9)T = 60
T = 108 tokens

D
Given:
F = Fraction
Let F = X /Y
0.75X / 3.5Y = 6/5
9
Solution:
0.75X / 3.5Y = 6/5
3.75X = 21Y

X/Y = 21/3.75 = 28/5

B
Given:
notepad = ¼ M
Pen holder = ⅔ remaining
10
Solution:
M - ¼ = ¾ M ← Left after buying notepad
¾ M - (⅔) (¾) M = ¼ M ← Left after buying notepad and pen holder
Therefore the answer is ¼

B
Given:
⅔J=½S
11
Solution:
Total of going =( ⅔ J)2 + J = 7/3 J are going
J / (7/3) J = 3/7

E
Given:
98% = 500 CDs are rock
12
96% = how many should be removed

Solution:
 500(0.98)- X / 500 - X = 96/100
100(490 - X) = 48 000 - 96X
100X - 96 X = 49 000 - 48 000
4X = 1 000
X = 250 rock music CDs

C
Given:
⅕B=¼N
¼B=?

13 Solution:
B =( 5/4) N
¼ B = ¼ (5/4) N
= (5/16)N
Therefore the answer is 5/16

C
Given:
D=⅛
H=½
N = D + 15

14 Solution:
M - ⅛ M - ½ M - (⅛ M + 15) = 0
¼ M - 15 = 0
¼ M = 15
M = 60 mini mints

C
Given:
⅗ = Correct
30 question
15
Solution:
⅗ (30) = 18 correct
30 - 18 = 12 incorrect questions

A
Given:
30 cars parked
16
24 = sedans

Solution:
 Not sedan = 30 - 24 = 6
Not sedan/ cars = 6/30 = ⅕

D
Given:
1st garden = carrots
2nd garden = potatoes
3rd garden = cabbages

C = P + P(0.3) = 1.3P
17 C = Ca - Ca(0.35) = 0.65Ca

P = (1/1.3) C
Ca = (1/0.65)C

CA - P = (1/0.65) C - (1/1.3) C = (10/13) C

(10/13)C / (1/1.3) C = 1 or 100%

E
Given:
G = 2B
⅓ B + ¼ G = baseball

Solution:
18 ⅓ (B) + ¼(2B) = (5/6) B ← plays baseball

Total = B + G = B + 2B = 3B

3G - ⅚ G = (13/6)G ← do not play baseball

(13/6) G / 3G = 13/18

A
Given:
Last month
regular = ⅔
hours:
(7/5) Regular = well milled
19
Solution:
Total hours = ⅓ (7/5R) + ⅔(R) = (17/15) R
Well milled hours = ⅓(7/5) R = (7/15) R

(7/15) R / (17/15) R = 7 /17

 B
Given:
Total = 480 birds
¼ = Black cockatoos
½ of Black cockatoos were released

20 Solution:
¼ (480) = 120 black cockatoos
120(½) = 60 cockatoos were released
therefore 60 black cockatoos left

60/ (480 - 60) = 1/7
