1

Which of the following is not an integer?

77% Answer Correctly

0

-1

1

\({1 \over 2}\)


Solution

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


2

A bread recipe calls for 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{7}{8}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
1\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (2\(\frac{1}{2}\) - \(\frac{7}{8}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{20}{8} \) - \( \frac{7}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{13}{8} \) cups
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups


3

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

70% Answer Correctly

\({2 \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)


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.


4

What is \( \frac{9c^5}{7c^4} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{2}{7}\)c1\(\frac{1}{4}\)
1\(\frac{2}{7}\)c
1\(\frac{2}{7}\)c9
1\(\frac{2}{7}\)c\(\frac{4}{5}\)

Solution

To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

\( \frac{9c^5}{7c^4} \)
\( \frac{9}{7} \) c(5 - 4)
1\(\frac{2}{7}\)c


5

4! = ?

85% Answer Correctly

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3

3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.
