A bread recipe calls for 3\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{1}{2}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups
3\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (3\(\frac{5}{8}\) - \(\frac{1}{2}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{29}{8} \) - \( \frac{4}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{25}{8} \) cups
3\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups


2

Convert b-4 to remove the negative exponent.

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-1}{-4b} \)
\( \frac{1}{b^4} \)
\( \frac{-1}{b^{-4}} \)
\( \frac{4}{b} \)

Solution

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


3

Solve 4 + (4 + 3) ÷ 5 x 4 - 42

52% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{7}{8}\)
3
-6\(\frac{2}{5}\)
1

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

4 + (4 + 3) ÷ 5 x 4 - 42
P: 4 + (7) ÷ 5 x 4 - 42
E: 4 + 7 ÷ 5 x 4 - 16
MD: 4 + \( \frac{7}{5} \) x 4 - 16
MD: 4 + \( \frac{28}{5} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{20}{5} \) + \( \frac{28}{5} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{48}{5} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{48 - 80}{5} \)
\( \frac{-32}{5} \)
-6\(\frac{2}{5}\)


4

4! = ?

84% Answer Correctly

4 x 3

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

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.


5

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

41% Answer Correctly
175
12\( \sqrt{25} \)
35\( \sqrt{10} \)
35\( \sqrt{5} \)

Solution

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

7\( \sqrt{5} \) x 5\( \sqrt{5} \)
(7 x 5)\( \sqrt{5 \times 5} \)
35\( \sqrt{25} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

35\( \sqrt{25} \)
35\( \sqrt{5^2} \)
(35)(5)
