1

Which of the following is not a prime number?

65% Answer Correctly

7

2

9

5


Solution

A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no factors other than 1 and itself. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.


2

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

74% Answer Correctly

distributive property for multiplication

commutative 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.


3

Which of these numbers is a factor of 24?

68% Answer Correctly
17
3
2
7

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24.


4

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({a \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.


5

What is \( \frac{-2y^7}{1y^4} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
-2y\(\frac{4}{7}\)
-2y-3
-2y3
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)y11

Solution

To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

\( \frac{-2y^7}{y^4} \)
\( \frac{-2}{1} \) y(7 - 4)
-2y3
