Find the average of the following numbers: 11, 5, 11, 5.

75% Answer Correctly
4
11
6
8

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{11 + 5 + 11 + 5}{4} \) = \( \frac{32}{4} \) = 8


2

Convert 2,309,000 to scientific notation.

63% Answer Correctly
23.09 x 105
0.231 x 107
2.309 x 106
2.309 x 105

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:

2,309,000 in scientific notation is 2.309 x 106

\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

commutative property for multiplication

distributive property for multiplication

distributive property for division

commutative property for division


Solution

The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).

Monty loaned Ezra $800 at an annual interest rate of 8%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$21
$25
$12
$64

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $800
i = 0.08 x $800
i = $64
