1

Convert a-5 to remove the negative exponent.

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

Solution

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


2

How many 2 gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 20 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
10
5
7
9

Solution

To fill a 20 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 10 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2 gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{10 \text{ gallons}}{2 \text{ gallons}} \) = 5


3

What is the least common multiple of 6 and 10?

72% Answer Correctly
30
39
11
28

Solution

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 have in common.


4

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({5 \over 7} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)


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

Which of these numbers is a factor of 72?

69% Answer Correctly
58
4
29
15

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72.
