1

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

60% Answer Correctly

associative

commutative

distributive

PEDMAS


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.


2

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 35% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
30%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 35% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{35\text{%}}{2} \) = 17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 5 hours at an average speed of 55 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
275 miles
75 miles
160 miles
495 miles

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 55mph \times 5h \)
275 miles

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 9, 17, 25, 33, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
41
37
47
46

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 8

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 + 8
a6 = 33 + 8
a6 = 41


5

What is \( \frac{-5b^6}{8b^2} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{5}{8}\)b8
-1\(\frac{3}{5}\)b8
-1\(\frac{3}{5}\)b4
-\(\frac{5}{8}\)b4

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:

\( \frac{-5b^6}{8b^2} \)
\( \frac{-5}{8} \) b(6 - 2)
-\(\frac{5}{8}\)b4
