1

The __________ is the greatest factor that divides two integers.

67% Answer Correctly

greatest common factor

least common multiple

absolute value

greatest common multiple


Solution

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that divides two integers.


2

Convert b-5 to remove the negative exponent.

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-5}{-b} \)
\( \frac{1}{b^5} \)
\( \frac{-5}{b} \)
\( \frac{-1}{-5b^{5}} \)

Solution

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


3

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

59% Answer Correctly

associative

PEDMAS

distributive

commutative


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.


4

What is 2\( \sqrt{4} \) x 7\( \sqrt{2} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
9\( \sqrt{4} \)
9\( \sqrt{2} \)
28\( \sqrt{2} \)
14\( \sqrt{4} \)

Solution

To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:

2\( \sqrt{4} \) x 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
(2 x 7)\( \sqrt{4 \times 2} \)
14\( \sqrt{8} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

14\( \sqrt{8} \)
14\( \sqrt{2 \times 4} \)
14\( \sqrt{2 \times 2^2} \)
(14)(2)\( \sqrt{2} \)
28\( \sqrt{2} \)


5

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 91 pounds of food in 7 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 156 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
11
5
7
3

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 91 pounds of food in 7 days that's \( \frac{91}{7} \) = 13 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 156 - 91 = 65 more pounds of food to reach 156 pounds total. At 13 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{65}{13} \) = 5 more days.
