A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 50% off." If Charlie buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $40, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$60.00
$20.00
$46.00
$42.00

Solution

By buying two shirts, Charlie will save $40 x \( \frac{50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$40 x 50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$2000}{100} \) = $20.00 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$40.00 + ($40.00 - $20.00)
$40.00 + $20.00
$60.00

A triathlon course includes a 500m swim, a 50.9km bike ride, and a 12.4km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
63.8km
36.1km
37.1km
29.7km

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 500 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.5km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.5km + 50.9km + 12.4km
total distance = 63.8km


3

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)


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.


4

What is \( \frac{1}{9} \) x \( \frac{2}{6} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{9}\)
\(\frac{4}{21}\)
\(\frac{1}{63}\)
\(\frac{1}{27}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{1}{9} \) x \( \frac{2}{6} \) = \( \frac{1 x 2}{9 x 6} \) = \( \frac{2}{54} \) = \(\frac{1}{27}\)


5

fraction

improper fraction

integer


Solution

A factor is a positive integer that divides evenly into a given number. For example, the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.
