Which of the following is a mixed number?
\({5 \over 7} \) |
|
\({a \over 5} \) |
|
\({7 \over 5} \) |
|
\(1 {2 \over 5} \) |
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.
A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 35% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?
| 37\(\frac{1}{2}\)% | |
| 15% | |
| 17\(\frac{1}{2}\)% | |
| 22\(\frac{1}{2}\)% |
The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 35% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{35\text{%}}{2} \) = 17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
A triathlon course includes a 200m swim, a 40.3km bike ride, and a 11.5km run. What is the total length of the race course?
| 52km | |
| 41.1km | |
| 61.7km | |
| 32.3km |
To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 200 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.2km then add the remaining distances:
total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.2km + 40.3km + 11.5km
total distance = 52km
Ezra loaned Diane $100 at an annual interest rate of 7%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?
| $107 | |
| $108 | |
| $109 | |
| $105 |
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 $100
i = 0.07 x $100
No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:
total = $100 + $7Which of the following statements about exponents is false?
b0 = 1 |
|
all of these are false |
|
b1 = b |
|
b1 = 1 |
A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).
