1

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

60% Answer Correctly

distributive

PEDMAS

commutative

associative


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.


2

Convert 4,638,000 to scientific notation.

62% Answer Correctly
4.638 x 10-6
0.464 x 107
4.638 x 106
4.638 x 107

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:

4,638,000 in scientific notation is 4.638 x 106


3

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 35% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
30%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
15%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 35% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{35\text{%}}{2} \) = 17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


4

Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

all of these are false

b0 = 1

b1 = 1

b1 = b


Solution

A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).


5

Which of these numbers is a factor of 40?

68% Answer Correctly
36
2
19
13

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 40 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40.
