What is \( \frac{7}{6} \) - \( \frac{7}{10} \)?
| \(\frac{7}{15}\) | |
| \( \frac{3}{8} \) | |
| \( \frac{6}{30} \) | |
| 1 \( \frac{8}{16} \) |
To subtract these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 10 are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [30, 60, 90] making 30 the smallest multiple 6 and 10 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{7 x 5}{6 x 5} \) - \( \frac{7 x 3}{10 x 3} \)
\( \frac{35}{30} \) - \( \frac{21}{30} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can subtract them:
\( \frac{35 - 21}{30} \) = \( \frac{14}{30} \) = \(\frac{7}{15}\)
Which of the following statements about exponents is false?
b1 = 1 |
|
b0 = 1 |
|
all of these are false |
|
b1 = b |
A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).
What is the least common multiple of 3 and 9?
| 9 | |
| 26 | |
| 3 | |
| 8 |
The first few multiples of 3 are [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30] and the first few multiples of 9 are [9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [9, 18, 27, 36, 45] making 9 the smallest multiple 3 and 9 have in common.
A bread recipe calls for 2\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{1}{8}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?
| \(\frac{1}{4}\) cups | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups | |
| 1\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups | |
| 2\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups |
The amount of flour you need is (2\(\frac{1}{4}\) - \(\frac{1}{8}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:
(\( \frac{18}{8} \) - \( \frac{1}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{17}{8} \) cups
2\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups
What is \( 8 \)\( \sqrt{175} \) + \( 3 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)
| 24\( \sqrt{7} \) | |
| 11\( \sqrt{1225} \) | |
| 43\( \sqrt{7} \) | |
| 24\( \sqrt{25} \) |
To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:
8\( \sqrt{175} \) + 3\( \sqrt{7} \)
8\( \sqrt{25 \times 7} \) + 3\( \sqrt{7} \)
8\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 7} \) + 3\( \sqrt{7} \)
(8)(5)\( \sqrt{7} \) + 3\( \sqrt{7} \)
40\( \sqrt{7} \) + 3\( \sqrt{7} \)
Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:
40\( \sqrt{7} \) + 3\( \sqrt{7} \)
