What is \( \frac{2}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{2}{8} \)?
| \(\frac{4}{63}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{3}{5}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{7}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{20}\) |
To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:
\( \frac{2}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{2}{8} \) = \( \frac{2}{5} \) x \( \frac{8}{2} \)
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:
\( \frac{2}{5} \) x \( \frac{8}{2} \) = \( \frac{2 x 8}{5 x 2} \) = \( \frac{16}{10} \) = 1\(\frac{3}{5}\)
A machine in a factory has an error rate of 4 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 5 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 6 hours for maintenance.
How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?
| 82.8 | |
| 86.4 | |
| 173.9 | |
| 140.8 |
The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:
\( \frac{4}{100} \) x 5 = \( \frac{4 \times 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{20}{100} \) = 0.2 errors per hour
So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 5 - 0.2 = 4.8 error free parts.
The machine ran for 24 - 6 = 18 hours yesterday so you would expect that 18 x 4.8 = 86.4 error free parts were produced yesterday.
What is the greatest common factor of 52 and 56?
| 4 | |
| 6 | |
| 29 | |
| 45 |
The factors of 52 are [1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52] and the factors of 56 are [1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 the greatest factor 52 and 56 have in common.
What is \( \frac{12\sqrt{45}}{6\sqrt{9}} \)?
| 2 \( \sqrt{5} \) | |
| \(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \) | |
| \(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \) | |
| 2 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \) |
To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:
\( \frac{12\sqrt{45}}{6\sqrt{9}} \)
\( \frac{12}{6} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{45}{9}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{5} \)
If a car travels 45 miles in 1 hour, what is the average speed?
| 20 mph | |
| 45 mph | |
| 30 mph | |
| 15 mph |
Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:
speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
