1

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 90 pounds of food in 10 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 117 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
7
8
4
3

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 90 pounds of food in 10 days that's \( \frac{90}{10} \) = 9 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 117 - 90 = 27 more pounds of food to reach 117 pounds total. At 9 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{27}{9} \) = 3 more days.


2

What is \( \frac{2}{6} \) x \( \frac{2}{7} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{6}{35}\)
\(\frac{2}{21}\)
\(\frac{1}{5}\)
\(\frac{16}{81}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{2}{6} \) x \( \frac{2}{7} \) = \( \frac{2 x 2}{6 x 7} \) = \( \frac{4}{42} \) = \(\frac{2}{21}\)


3

Solve for \( \frac{3!}{2!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
3
\( \frac{1}{9} \)
\( \frac{1}{504} \)
\( \frac{1}{1680} \)

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{3!}{2!} \)
\( \frac{3 \times 2 \times 1}{2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{3}{1} \)

4

Simplify \( \frac{16}{76} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{4}{19} \)
\( \frac{9}{14} \)
\( \frac{5}{6} \)
\( \frac{1}{5} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 16 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16] and the factors of 76 are [1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{16}{76} \) = \( \frac{\frac{16}{4}}{\frac{76}{4}} \) = \( \frac{4}{19} \)


5

Convert 7,714,000 to scientific notation.

63% Answer Correctly
7.714 x 106
77.14 x 105
7.714 x 105
0.771 x 107

Solution

A number in scientific notation has the format 0.000 x 10exponent. To convert to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the right or the left until the number is a decimal between 1 and 10. The exponent of the 10 is the number of places you moved the decimal point and is positive if you moved the decimal point to the left and negative if you moved it to the right:

7,714,000 in scientific notation is 7.714 x 106
