What is \( \frac{4}{3} \) + \( \frac{2}{7} \)?
| \( \frac{1}{9} \) | |
| 1 \( \frac{3}{21} \) | |
| 1 \( \frac{8}{21} \) | |
| 1\(\frac{13}{21}\) |
To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 3 are [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30] and the first few multiples of 7 are [7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70]. The first few multiples they share are [21, 42, 63, 84] making 21 the smallest multiple 3 and 7 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{4 x 7}{3 x 7} \) + \( \frac{2 x 3}{7 x 3} \)
\( \frac{28}{21} \) + \( \frac{6}{21} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:
\( \frac{28 + 6}{21} \) = \( \frac{34}{21} \) = 1\(\frac{13}{21}\)
Which of these numbers is a factor of 36?
| 24 | |
| 3 | |
| 22 | |
| 18 |
The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36.
If a car travels 125 miles in 5 hours, what is the average speed?
| 25 mph | |
| 35 mph | |
| 30 mph | |
| 65 mph |
Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:
speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)If \( \left|y + 9\right| \) - 1 = -4, which of these is a possible value for y?
| 1 | |
| -14 | |
| -6 | |
| -11 |
First, solve for \( \left|y + 9\right| \):
\( \left|y + 9\right| \) - 1 = -4
\( \left|y + 9\right| \) = -4 + 1
\( \left|y + 9\right| \) = -3
The value inside the absolute value brackets can be either positive or negative so (y + 9) must equal - 3 or --3 for \( \left|y + 9\right| \) to equal -3:
| y + 9 = -3 y = -3 - 9 y = -12 | y + 9 = 3 y = 3 - 9 y = -6 |
So, y = -6 or y = -12.
A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 15% off." If Roger buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $24, how much will he pay for both shirts?
| $44.40 | |
| $25.20 | |
| $36.00 | |
| $20.40 |
By buying two shirts, Roger will save $24 x \( \frac{15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$24 x 15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$360}{100} \) = $3.60 on the second shirt.
So, his total cost will be
$24.00 + ($24.00 - $3.60)
$24.00 + $20.40
$44.40
