56% Answer Correctly
6
11
8
1

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 50 pounds of food in 5 days that's \( \frac{50}{5} \) = 10 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 110 - 50 = 60 more pounds of food to reach 110 pounds total. At 10 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{60}{10} \) = 6 more days.


2

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({5 \over 7} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)


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.

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 10% off." If Alex buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $47, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$9.40
$4.70
$2.35
$7.05

Solution

By buying two shirts, Alex will save $47 x \( \frac{10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$47 x 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$470}{100} \) = $4.70 on the second shirt.

Solve for \( \frac{3!}{2!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
336
\( \frac{1}{72} \)
\( \frac{1}{20} \)
3

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:

\( \frac{3!}{2!} \)
\( \frac{3 \times 2 \times 1}{2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{3}{1} \)
