1

A bread recipe calls for 2\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{3}{4}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups
1 cups
1\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (2\(\frac{1}{8}\) - \(\frac{3}{4}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{17}{8} \) - \( \frac{6}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{11}{8} \) cups
1\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups


2

The __________ is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.

56% Answer Correctly

absolute value

least common multiple

greatest common factor

least common factor


Solution

The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.


3

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({5 \over 7} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)


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.


4

What is (a4)3?

80% Answer Correctly
a-1
a7
a12
a

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(a4)3
a(4 * 3)
a12


5

How many 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 9 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
9
6
3
4

Solution

To fill a 9 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 4\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{4\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}}{1\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 3
