Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({5 \over 7} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.


2

Which of the following is not an integer?

77% Answer Correctly

1

-1

0

\({1 \over 2}\)


Solution

An integer is any whole number, including zero. An integer can be either positive or negative. Examples include -77, -1, 0, 55, 119.


3

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 5% off." If Roger buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $12, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$23.40
$14.40
$16.80
$0.60

Solution

By buying two shirts, Roger will save $12 x \( \frac{5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$12 x 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$60}{100} \) = $0.60 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$12.00 + ($12.00 - $0.60)
$12.00 + $11.40
$23.40

How many 12-passenger vans will it take to drive all 48 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
6 vans
4 vans
17 vans
10 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{48}{12} \) = 4


5

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 10, 19, 31, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
47
46
53
51

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3(n - 1)

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 3(6 - 1)
a6 = 31 + 3(5)
a6 = 46
