Which of the following is a mixed number?

83% Answer Correctly

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.

3

What is -4y3 x 5y2?

75% Answer Correctly
-20y5
y2
y6
-20y3

Solution

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:

-4y3 x 5y2
(-4 x 5)y(3 + 2)
-20y5


4

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 3:1 and all 42,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

49% Answer Correctly
41,667
37,600
31,500
35,250

Solution

A ratio of 3:1 means that there are 3 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 4 fans, 3 are home fans and \( \frac{3}{4} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

42,000 fans x \( \frac{3}{4} \) = \( \frac{126000}{4} \) = 31,500 fans.
