Jennifer scored 76% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 210 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Jennifer answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
53
46
57
50

Solution

Jennifer scored 76% on the test meaning she earned 76% of the possible points on the test. There were 210 possible points on the test so she earned 210 x 0.76 = 159 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{159}{3} \) = 53 questions right.

Solve for \( \frac{5!}{4!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
5
\( \frac{1}{60480} \)
15120
\( \frac{1}{3024} \)

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:

\( \frac{5!}{4!} \)
\( \frac{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{5}{1} \)

3

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

60% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{3}{5}\)b2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-1\(\frac{3}{5}\)b-3
-1\(\frac{3}{5}\)b\(\frac{2}{5}\)
-1\(\frac{3}{5}\)b3

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:

\( \frac{-8b^5}{5b^2} \)
\( \frac{-8}{5} \) b(5 - 2)
-1\(\frac{3}{5}\)b3

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
26
23
35
31

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 5

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 + 5
a6 = 21 + 5
a6 = 26

What is the least common multiple of 6 and 8?

72% Answer Correctly
35
24
27
2

Solution

The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 8 are [8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80]. The first few multiples they share are [24, 48, 72, 96] making 24 the smallest multiple 6 and 8 have in common.
