What is (y3)5?

79% Answer Correctly
3y5
y8
y15
y2

Solution

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

(y3)5
y(3 * 5)
y15


2

What is 2c7 x 6c6?

75% Answer Correctly
12c42
12c6
12c13
8c42

Solution

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

2c7 x 6c6
(2 x 6)c(7 + 6)
12c13

How many 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 10 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
2
5
2
4

Solution

To fill a 10 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 5 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{5 \text{ gallons}}{2\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 2

Simplify \( \frac{40}{72} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{9}{14} \)
\( \frac{2}{5} \)
\( \frac{5}{9} \)
\( \frac{7}{19} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 40 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40] and the factors of 72 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72]. They share 4 factors [1, 2, 4, 8] making 8 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{40}{72} \) = \( \frac{\frac{40}{8}}{\frac{72}{8}} \) = \( \frac{5}{9} \)
