\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

commutative property for multiplication

commutative property for division

distributive property for multiplication

distributive property for division


Solution

The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).


2

Which of the following is not an integer?

77% Answer Correctly

0

-1

\({1 \over 2}\)

1


Solution

An integer is any whole number, including zero. An integer can be either positive or negative. Examples include -77, -1, 0, 55, 119.


3

How many 13-passenger vans will it take to drive all 96 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
4 vans
7 vans
5 vans
8 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{96}{13} \) = 7\(\frac{5}{13}\)

So, it will take 7 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 8 vans.


4

What is \( \frac{4}{8} \) ÷ \( \frac{2}{9} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\frac{1}{9}\)
\(\frac{1}{5}\)
\(\frac{1}{21}\)

Solution

To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:

\( \frac{4}{8} \) ÷ \( \frac{2}{9} \) = \( \frac{4}{8} \) x \( \frac{9}{2} \)

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

\( \frac{4}{8} \) x \( \frac{9}{2} \) = \( \frac{4 x 9}{8 x 2} \) = \( \frac{36}{16} \) = 2\(\frac{1}{4}\)


5

The __________ is the greatest factor that divides two integers.

67% Answer Correctly

absolute value

least common multiple

greatest common multiple


Solution

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that divides two integers.
