Simplify \( \frac{16}{44} \).

78% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{3} \)
\( \frac{9}{16} \)
\( \frac{4}{11} \)
\( \frac{10}{13} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 16 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16] and the factors of 44 are [1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{16}{44} \) = \( \frac{\frac{16}{4}}{\frac{44}{4}} \) = \( \frac{4}{11} \)


2

Convert y-5 to remove the negative exponent.

68% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-1}{y^{-5}} \)
\( \frac{1}{y^5} \)
\( \frac{5}{y} \)
\( \frac{-1}{-5y} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.


3

Which of the following is not a prime number?

65% Answer Correctly

9

7

2

5


Solution

A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no factors other than 1 and itself. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.


4

Which of the following is a mixed number?

83% Answer Correctly

\({5 \over 7} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)


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.


5

What is 5\( \sqrt{5} \) x 9\( \sqrt{7} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
45\( \sqrt{35} \)
45\( \sqrt{5} \)
14\( \sqrt{35} \)
45\( \sqrt{12} \)

Solution

To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:

5\( \sqrt{5} \) x 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
(5 x 9)\( \sqrt{5 \times 7} \)
45\( \sqrt{35} \)
