PEDMAS


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.


2

What is \( \frac{1}{7} \) x \( \frac{2}{9} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{63}\)
\(\frac{4}{9}\)
\(\frac{8}{81}\)
\(\frac{1}{56}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{1}{7} \) x \( \frac{2}{9} \) = \( \frac{1 x 2}{7 x 9} \) = \( \frac{2}{63} \) = \(\frac{2}{63}\)

On average, the center for a basketball team hits 35% of his shots while a guard on the same team hits 45% of his shots. If the guard takes 20 shots during a game, how many shots will the center have to take to score as many points as the guard assuming each shot is worth the same number of points?

42% Answer Correctly
26
32
21
19

Solution
If the guard hits 45% of his shots and takes 20 shots he'll make:

guard shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \) = 20 x \( \frac{45}{100} \) = \( \frac{45 x 20}{100} \) = \( \frac{900}{100} \) = 9 shots

The center makes 35% of his shots so he'll have to take:

shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \)
shots taken = \( \frac{\text{shots taken}}{\frac{\text{% made}}{100}} \)

to make as many shots as the guard. Plugging in values for the center gives us:

center shots taken = \( \frac{9}{\frac{35}{100}} \) = 9 x \( \frac{100}{35} \) = \( \frac{9 x 100}{35} \) = \( \frac{900}{35} \) = 26 shots

to make the same number of shots as the guard and thus score the same number of points.


4

Which of these numbers is a factor of 20?

68% Answer Correctly
21
12
4
2

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20.


5

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 45% off." If Damon buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $22, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$34.10
$33.00
$9.90
$12.10

Solution

By buying two shirts, Damon will save $22 x \( \frac{45}{100} \) = \( \frac{$22 x 45}{100} \) = \( \frac{$990}{100} \) = $9.90 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$22.00 + ($22.00 - $9.90)
$22.00 + $12.10
$34.10
