An integer is any whole number, including zero. An integer can be either positive or negative. Examples include -77, -1, 0, 55, 119.
How many 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 15 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?
| 5 | |
| 3 | |
| 9 | |
| 5 |
To fill a 15 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 7\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:
cans = \( \frac{7\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}}{1\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 5
What is 6y7 x 8y2?
| 14y2 | |
| 48y-5 | |
| 14y9 | |
| 48y9 |
To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:
6y7 x 8y2
(6 x 8)y(7 + 2)
48y9
What is \( \frac{4}{3} \) - \( \frac{2}{7} \)?
| \( \frac{1}{21} \) | |
| 2 \( \frac{5}{9} \) | |
| 1\(\frac{43}{900}\) | |
| 1 \( \frac{5}{14} \) |
To subtract these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 3 are [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30] and the first few multiples of 7 are [7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70]. The first few multiples they share are [21, 42, 63, 84] making 21 the smallest multiple 3 and 7 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{4 x 7}{3 x 7} \) - \( \frac{2 x 3}{7 x 3} \)
\( \frac{28}{21} \) - \( \frac{6}{21} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can subtract them:
\( \frac{28 - 6}{21} \) = \( \frac{22}{21} \) = 1\(\frac{43}{900}\)
A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 55% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?
| 32\(\frac{1}{2}\)% | |
| 22\(\frac{1}{2}\)% | |
| 37\(\frac{1}{2}\)% | |
| 27\(\frac{1}{2}\)% |
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 55% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{55\text{%}}{2} \) = 27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
