Solve 3 + (5 + 5) ÷ 2 x 4 - 22

53% Answer Correctly
1
\(\frac{2}{9}\)
19
3\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

3 + (5 + 5) ÷ 2 x 4 - 22
P: 3 + (10) ÷ 2 x 4 - 22
E: 3 + 10 ÷ 2 x 4 - 4
MD: 3 + \( \frac{10}{2} \) x 4 - 4
MD: 3 + \( \frac{40}{2} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{6}{2} \) + \( \frac{40}{2} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{46}{2} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{46 - 8}{2} \)
\( \frac{38}{2} \)

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 5:1 and all 31,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

49% Answer Correctly
25,833
36,667
34,500
31,667

Solution

A ratio of 5:1 means that there are 5 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 6 fans, 5 are home fans and \( \frac{5}{6} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

31,000 fans x \( \frac{5}{6} \) = \( \frac{155000}{6} \) = 25,833 fans.

What is 2y4 x 4y2?

75% Answer Correctly
6y2
8y6
6y6
8y-2

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:

2y4 x 4y2
(2 x 4)y(4 + 2)
8y6


4

What is \( \frac{-2z^8}{7z^2} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{2}{7}\)z-6
-\(\frac{2}{7}\)z6
-\(\frac{2}{7}\)z\(\frac{1}{4}\)
-3\(\frac{1}{2}\)z-6

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:

\( \frac{-2z^8}{7z^2} \)
\( \frac{-2}{7} \) z(8 - 2)
-\(\frac{2}{7}\)z6


5

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 3 hours at an average speed of 50 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
300 miles
90 miles
240 miles
150 miles

Solution

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

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 50mph \times 3h \)
150 miles
