What is \( \frac{-8x^8}{1x^4} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
-8x12
-8x4
-\(\frac{1}{8}\)x4
-\(\frac{1}{8}\)x-4

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:

\( \frac{-8x^8}{x^4} \)
\( \frac{-8}{1} \) x(8 - 4)
-8x4

4

A bread recipe calls for 2\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have 1\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
1 cups
2\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups
3\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups
1\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (2\(\frac{3}{8}\) - 1\(\frac{3}{8}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{19}{8} \) - \( \frac{11}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{8}{8} \) cups
1 cups


5

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 22 pounds of food in 2 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 99 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
2
3
7
77

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 22 pounds of food in 2 days that's \( \frac{22}{2} \) = 11 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 99 - 22 = 77 more pounds of food to reach 99 pounds total. At 11 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{77}{11} \) = 7 more days.
