1

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

60% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{4}\)c12
\(\frac{1}{4}\)c4
4c-4
\(\frac{1}{4}\)c32

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:

\( \frac{c^8}{4c^4} \)
\( \frac{1}{4} \) c(8 - 4)
\(\frac{1}{4}\)c4


2

What is \( \frac{2}{9} \) x \( \frac{2}{5} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{8}{45}\)
\(\frac{3}{16}\)
\(\frac{1}{9}\)
\(\frac{4}{45}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{2}{9} \) x \( \frac{2}{5} \) = \( \frac{2 x 2}{9 x 5} \) = \( \frac{4}{45} \) = \(\frac{4}{45}\)


3

If a car travels 270 miles in 6 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
45 mph
30 mph
40 mph
15 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{270mi}{6h} \)
45 mph


4

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 70% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
25%
35%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

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 70% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{70\text{%}}{2} \) = 35%


5

Convert y-2 to remove the negative exponent.

68% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-2}{y} \)
\( \frac{1}{y^{-2}} \)
\( \frac{1}{y^2} \)
\( \frac{-1}{-2y^{2}} \)

Solution

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