Simplify \( \frac{20}{56} \).
| \( \frac{5}{9} \) | |
| \( \frac{2}{5} \) | |
| \( \frac{9}{14} \) | |
| \( \frac{5}{14} \) |
To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 20 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20] and the factors of 56 are [1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).
Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:
\( \frac{20}{56} \) = \( \frac{\frac{20}{4}}{\frac{56}{4}} \) = \( \frac{5}{14} \)
How many hours does it take a car to travel 180 miles at an average speed of 60 miles per hour?
| 1 hour | |
| 2 hours | |
| 3 hours | |
| 4 hours |
Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:
speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)Solving for time:
time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{180mi}{60mph} \)
3 hours
A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 55% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?
| 35% | |
| 25% | |
| 27\(\frac{1}{2}\)% | |
| 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 55% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{55\text{%}}{2} \) = 27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
Which of the following statements about exponents is false?
b0 = 1 |
|
b1 = b |
|
all of these are false |
|
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).
A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 15% off." If Frank buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $33, how much will he pay for both shirts?
| $61.05 | |
| $28.05 | |
| $39.60 | |
| $37.95 |
By buying two shirts, Frank will save $33 x \( \frac{15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$33 x 15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$495}{100} \) = $4.95 on the second shirt.
So, his total cost will be
$33.00 + ($33.00 - $4.95)
$33.00 + $28.05
$61.05
