How many 10-passenger vans will it take to drive all 95 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
6 vans
9 vans
10 vans
8 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{95}{10} \) = 9\(\frac{1}{2}\)

So, it will take 9 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 10 vans.


2

Convert b-3 to remove the negative exponent.

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{3}{b} \)
\( \frac{1}{b^3} \)
\( \frac{-1}{-3b} \)
\( \frac{-1}{-3b^{3}} \)

Solution

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


3

65% Answer Correctly

5

9

7

4

\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?

55% Answer Correctly

distributive property for division

commutative property for multiplication

distributive property for multiplication

commutative property for division


Solution

The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).


5

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 40% off." If Ezra buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $40, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$4.00
$10.00
$16.00
$8.00

Solution

By buying two shirts, Ezra will save $40 x \( \frac{40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$40 x 40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1600}{100} \) = $16.00 on the second shirt.
