1

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

71% Answer Correctly

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)


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

Find the average of the following numbers: 9, 3, 8, 4.

75% Answer Correctly
10
6
7
5

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{9 + 3 + 8 + 4}{4} \) = \( \frac{24}{4} \) = 6


3

How many 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 6 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
4
3
7
2

Solution

To fill a 6 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 3 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{3 \text{ gallons}}{1\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 2


4

Solve for \( \frac{3!}{2!} \)

67% Answer Correctly

336
3
\( \frac{1}{72} \)

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:

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


5

Which of these numbers is a factor of 72?

69% Answer Correctly
9
6
45
72

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72.
