Solve for \( \frac{2!}{6!} \)
| \( \frac{1}{4} \) | |
| 504 | |
| \( \frac{1}{360} \) | |
| 8 |
A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:
\( \frac{2!}{6!} \)
\( \frac{2 \times 1}{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3} \)
\( \frac{1}{360} \)
On average, the center for a basketball team hits 25% of his shots while a guard on the same team hits 35% 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?
| 21 | |
| 28 | |
| 14 | |
| 15 |
guard shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \) = 20 x \( \frac{35}{100} \) = \( \frac{35 x 20}{100} \) = \( \frac{700}{100} \) = 7 shots
The center makes 25% 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 = \( \frac{7}{\frac{25}{100}} \) = 7 x \( \frac{100}{25} \) = \( \frac{7 x 100}{25} \) = \( \frac{700}{25} \) = 28 shots
to make the same number of shots as the guard and thus score the same number of points.
In a class of 27 students, 10 are taking German and 15 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 8 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?
| 10 | |
| 26 | |
| 15 | |
| 17 |
The number of students taking German or Spanish is 10 + 15 = 25. Of that group of 25, 8 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 25 - 8 = 17 who are taking at least one language. 27 - 17 = 10 students who are not taking either language.
What is the greatest common factor of 76 and 68?
| 4 | |
| 3 | |
| 60 | |
| 25 |
The factors of 76 are [1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76] and the factors of 68 are [1, 2, 4, 17, 34, 68]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 the greatest factor 76 and 68 have in common.
Find the average of the following numbers: 9, 5, 8, 6.
| 10 | |
| 11 | |
| 12 | |
| 7 |
To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:
\( \frac{9 + 5 + 8 + 6}{4} \) = \( \frac{28}{4} \) = 7
