1

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

PEDMAS

distributive

commutative

associative


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.


2

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 65% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

50% Answer Correctly
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
35%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 65% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{65\text{%}}{2} \) = 32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


3

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

55% Answer Correctly

distributive property for division

commutative property for division

distributive property for multiplication

commutative property for multiplication


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, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).


4

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 28 pounds of food in 4 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 63 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
5
9
7
6

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 28 pounds of food in 4 days that's \( \frac{28}{4} \) = 7 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 63 - 28 = 35 more pounds of food to reach 63 pounds total. At 7 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{35}{7} \) = 5 more days.


5

What is (y2)3?

79% Answer Correctly
2y3
y
y6
y5

Solution

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

(y2)3
y(2 * 3)
y6
