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

56% Answer Correctly

commutative property for multiplication

distributive property for division

distributive property for multiplication

commutative 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, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).

Latoya scored 83% on her final exam. If each question was worth 4 points and there were 400 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Latoya answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
97
79
83
77

Solution

Latoya scored 83% on the test meaning she earned 83% of the possible points on the test. There were 400 possible points on the test so she earned 400 x 0.83 = 332 points. Each question is worth 4 points so she got \( \frac{332}{4} \) = 83 questions right.

How many 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 6 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
6
4
2
9

Solution

To fill a 6 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 3 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{3 \text{ gallons}}{1\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 2

A triathlon course includes a 200m swim, a 50.4km bike ride, and a 11.3km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
35.2km
61.9km
35.3km
26.9km

Solution

To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 200 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.2km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.2km + 50.4km + 11.3km
total distance = 61.9km
