Convert 6,913,000 to scientific notation.

63% Answer Correctly
6.913 x 10-5
6.913 x 106
6.913 x 10-6
69.13 x 105

Solution

A number in scientific notation has the format 0.000 x 10exponent. To convert to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the right or the left until the number is a decimal between 1 and 10. The exponent of the 10 is the number of places you moved the decimal point and is positive if you moved the decimal point to the left and negative if you moved it to the right:

6,913,000 in scientific notation is 6.913 x 106


2

In a class of 33 students, 13 are taking German and 12 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 2 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
10
32
12
23

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 13 + 12 = 25. Of that group of 25, 2 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 - 2 = 23 who are taking at least one language. 33 - 23 = 10 students who are not taking either language.


3

What is the greatest common factor of 60 and 24?

77% Answer Correctly
17
12
15
24

Solution

The factors of 60 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60] and the factors of 24 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24]. They share 6 factors [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12] making 12 the greatest factor 60 and 24 have in common.


4

Solve for \( \frac{3!}{4!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
1680
\( \frac{1}{4} \)
5
\( \frac{1}{60480} \)

Solution

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:

\( \frac{3!}{4!} \)
\( \frac{3 \times 2 \times 1}{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{4} \)
\( \frac{1}{4} \)


5

A triathlon course includes a 400m swim, a 30.1km bike ride, and a 9.3km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
39.8km
29.7km
45.1km
49.4km

Solution

To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 400 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.4km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.4km + 30.1km + 9.3km
total distance = 39.8km
