1

What is \( \frac{2}{8} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{8} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
16
\(\frac{2}{21}\)
2
\(\frac{1}{12}\)

Solution

To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:

\( \frac{2}{8} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{8} \) = \( \frac{2}{8} \) x \( \frac{8}{1} \)

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{2}{8} \) x \( \frac{8}{1} \) = \( \frac{2 x 8}{8 x 1} \) = \( \frac{16}{8} \) = 2


2

What is (x2)3?

80% Answer Correctly
x6
2x3
x
3x2

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(x2)3
x(2 * 3)
x6


3

Which of these numbers is a factor of 40?

69% Answer Correctly
2
30
44

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 40 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40.


4

Convert y-5 to remove the negative exponent.

68% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{y^{-5}} \)
\( \frac{-5}{-y} \)
\( \frac{-1}{-5y} \)
\( \frac{1}{y^5} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.


5

How many hours does it take a car to travel 480 miles at an average speed of 60 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
4 hours
7 hours
5 hours
8 hours

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 time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{480mi}{60mph} \)
8 hours
