Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.


2

Convert c-4 to remove the negative exponent.

68% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{4}{c} \)
\( \frac{-4}{c} \)
\( \frac{1}{c^4} \)
\( \frac{-1}{c^{-4}} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.


3

What is (a5)5?

80% Answer Correctly
a0
a25
5a5
a10

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(a5)5
a(5 * 5)
a25


4

What is c7 + 6c7?

66% Answer Correctly
7c7
5c-7
-5c-7
7c14

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so add the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

1c7 + 6c7
(1 + 6)c7
7c7

Damon loaned Jennifer $1,500 at an annual interest rate of 1%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$1,515
$1,545
$1,620
$1,605

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $1,500
i = 0.01 x $1,500

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $1,500 + $15
total = $1,515
