1

4! = ?

85% Answer Correctly

4 x 3

3 x 2 x 1

4 x 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.

Frank loaned Monty $1,200 at an annual interest rate of 7%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$24
$18
$84
$32

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $1,200
i = 0.07 x $1,200
i = $84

The total water usage for a city is 25,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 12% is for personal use and 26% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
15,749
8,400
3,500
2,850

Solution

26% of the water consumption is industrial use and 12% is personal use so (26% - 12%) = 14% more water is used for industrial purposes. 25,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{14}{100} \) x 25,000 gallons = 3,500 gallons.

Simplify \( \sqrt{80} \)

62% Answer Correctly
4\( \sqrt{5} \)
3\( \sqrt{5} \)
5\( \sqrt{10} \)
5\( \sqrt{5} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{80} \)
\( \sqrt{16 \times 5} \)
\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 5} \)
4\( \sqrt{5} \)


5

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)


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.
