Simplify \( \frac{32}{44} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{3}{8} \)
\( \frac{8}{11} \)
\( \frac{9}{16} \)
\( \frac{9}{11} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 32 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32] and the factors of 44 are [1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{32}{44} \) = \( \frac{\frac{32}{4}}{\frac{44}{4}} \) = \( \frac{8}{11} \)


2

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 1 hour at an average speed of 65 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
65 miles
240 miles
330 miles
280 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 = \( 65mph \times 1h \)
65 miles


3

Simplify \( \sqrt{8} \)

62% Answer Correctly
3\( \sqrt{4} \)
3\( \sqrt{2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{8} \)
\( \sqrt{4 \times 2} \)
\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)


4

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

55% Answer Correctly

commutative property for division

distributive property for multiplication

commutative property for multiplication

distributive 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, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).


5

How many hours does it take a car to travel 325 miles at an average speed of 65 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
8 hours
5 hours
9 hours
7 hours

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 time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{325mi}{65mph} \)
5 hours
