2

Monica scored 92% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 150 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Monica answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
34
51
46
43

Solution

Monica scored 92% on the test meaning she earned 92% of the possible points on the test. There were 150 possible points on the test so she earned 150 x 0.92 = 138 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{138}{3} \) = 46 questions right.

Solve for \( \frac{4!}{5!} \)

67% Answer Correctly

\( \frac{1}{5} \)

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:

\( \frac{4!}{5!} \)
\( \frac{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{5} \)
\( \frac{1}{5} \)


4

If \( \left|a + 3\right| \) - 6 = 4, which of these is a possible value for a?

62% Answer Correctly
-7
-16
7
-15

Solution

First, solve for \( \left|a + 3\right| \):

\( \left|a + 3\right| \) - 6 = 4
\( \left|a + 3\right| \) = 4 + 6
\( \left|a + 3\right| \) = 10

The value inside the absolute value brackets can be either positive or negative so (a + 3) must equal + 10 or -10 for \( \left|a + 3\right| \) to equal 10:

a + 3 = 10
a = 10 - 3
a = 7
a + 3 = -10
a = -10 - 3
a = -13

So, a = -13 or a = 7.


5

What is \( \frac{3}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{3}{5} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\frac{1}{10}\)
3
1

Solution

To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:

\( \frac{3}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{3}{5} \) = \( \frac{3}{5} \) x \( \frac{5}{3} \)

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

\( \frac{3}{5} \) x \( \frac{5}{3} \) = \( \frac{3 x 5}{5 x 3} \) = \( \frac{15}{15} \) = 1
