Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)


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.

How many 1 gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 10 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
5
10
9
8

Solution

To fill a 10 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 5 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1 gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{5 \text{ gallons}}{1 \text{ gallons}} \) = 5


3

4! = ?

84% Answer Correctly

4 x 3

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

3 x 2 x 1


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 5% off." If Alex buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $43, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$47.30
$83.85
$2.15
$51.60

Solution

By buying two shirts, Alex will save $43 x \( \frac{5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$43 x 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$215}{100} \) = $2.15 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$43.00 + ($43.00 - $2.15)
$43.00 + $40.85
$83.85

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

60% Answer Correctly

associative

PEDMAS

commutative

distributive


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.
