What is \( \frac{5}{4} \) - \( \frac{7}{10} \)?
| 1 \( \frac{6}{20} \) | |
| \( \frac{1}{6} \) | |
| \(\frac{5}{9}\) | |
| 1 \( \frac{9}{20} \) |
To subtract these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 4 are [4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40] and the first few multiples of 10 are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [20, 40, 60, 80] making 20 the smallest multiple 4 and 10 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{5 x 5}{4 x 5} \) - \( \frac{7 x 2}{10 x 2} \)
\( \frac{25}{20} \) - \( \frac{14}{20} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can subtract them:
\( \frac{25 - 14}{20} \) = \( \frac{11}{20} \) = \(\frac{5}{9}\)
Find the average of the following numbers: 14, 8, 15, 7.
| 13 | |
| 12 | |
| 10 | |
| 11 |
To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:
\( \frac{14 + 8 + 15 + 7}{4} \) = \( \frac{44}{4} \) = 11
a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?
distributive property for multiplication |
|
distributive property for division |
|
commutative property for multiplication |
|
commutative property for division |
The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.
How many 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 6 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?
| 5 | |
| 4 | |
| 8 | |
| 2 |
To fill a 6 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 3 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:
cans = \( \frac{3 \text{ gallons}}{1\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 2
A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 70% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?
| 30% | |
| 35% | |
| 32\(\frac{1}{2}\)% | |
| 20% |
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 70% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{70\text{%}}{2} \) = 35%
