83
7

Solution

To fill a 4 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 2 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1 gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{2 \text{ gallons}}{1 \text{ gallons}} \) = 2

4! = ?

85% Answer Correctly

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3

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.

In a class of 32 students, 9 are taking German and 14 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 6 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
27
29
12
15

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 9 + 14 = 23. Of that group of 23, 6 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 23 - 6 = 17 who are taking at least one language. 32 - 17 = 15 students who are not taking either language.

What is \( \frac{1}{9} \) x \( \frac{2}{8} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{6}{35}\)
\(\frac{2}{9}\)
\(\frac{1}{36}\)
\(\frac{1}{12}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{1}{9} \) x \( \frac{2}{8} \) = \( \frac{1 x 2}{9 x 8} \) = \( \frac{2}{72} \) = \(\frac{1}{36}\)
