1

What is \( \frac{-5b^9}{9b^4} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{4}{5}\)b-5
-1\(\frac{4}{5}\)b5
-\(\frac{5}{9}\)b5
-\(\frac{5}{9}\)b-5

Solution

To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

\( \frac{-5b^9}{9b^4} \)
\( \frac{-5}{9} \) b(9 - 4)
-\(\frac{5}{9}\)b5


2

Which of the following is not a prime number?

65% Answer Correctly

5

2

7

9


Solution

A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no factors other than 1 and itself. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.


3

4! = ?

85% Answer Correctly

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3

4 x 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.


4

If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 48 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?

47% Answer Correctly
2 m2
162 m2
18 m2
128 m2

Solution

The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 48 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 48.

Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):

2w + 2h = 48
w + h = \( \frac{48}{2} \)
w + h = 24
w = 24 - h

From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:

w = 24 - 2w
3w = 24
w = \( \frac{24}{3} \)
w = 8

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 8) = 16 and the area = h x w = 8 x 16 = 128 m2


5

If there were a total of 300 raffle tickets sold and you bought 18 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
9%
17%
7%
6%

Solution

You have 18 out of the total of 300 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{18}{300} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{18 \times 100}{300} \) = \( \frac{1800}{300} \) = 6% chance to win the raffle.
