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

56% Answer Correctly

commutative property for multiplication

commutative property for division

distributive property for division

distributive property for multiplication


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

If there were a total of 400 raffle tickets sold and you bought 28 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
8%
3%
7%
9%

Solution

You have 28 out of the total of 400 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{28}{400} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{28 \times 100}{400} \) = \( \frac{2800}{400} \) = 7% chance to win the raffle.


3

What is (b2)4?

80% Answer Correctly
b6
b8
2b4
4b2

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(b2)4
b(2 * 4)
b8


4

Solve for \( \frac{4!}{6!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
9
72
\( \frac{1}{8} \)
\( \frac{1}{30} \)

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{4!}{6!} \)
\( \frac{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{6 \times 5} \)
\( \frac{1}{30} \)


5

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
34
26
28
18

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 5

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 5
a6 = 21 + 5
a6 = 26
