1

What is \( \frac{2}{2} \) + \( \frac{4}{10} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
1 \( \frac{8}{10} \)
\( \frac{6}{10} \)
1\(\frac{2}{5}\)
1 \( \frac{1}{9} \)

Solution

To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 2 are [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20] and the first few multiples of 10 are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50] making 10 the smallest multiple 2 and 10 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{2 x 5}{2 x 5} \) + \( \frac{4 x 1}{10 x 1} \)

\( \frac{10}{10} \) + \( \frac{4}{10} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:

\( \frac{10 + 4}{10} \) = \( \frac{14}{10} \) = 1\(\frac{2}{5}\)

\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?

55% Answer Correctly

distributive property for division

commutative property for multiplication

commutative property for division

distributive property for multiplication


Solution

The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).


3

A factor is a positive __________ that divides evenly into a given number.

78% Answer Correctly

integer

mixed number

improper fraction

fraction


Solution

A factor is a positive integer that divides evenly into a given number. For example, the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.


4

If there were a total of 100 raffle tickets sold and you bought 3 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
10%
17%
11%
3%

Solution

You have 3 out of the total of 100 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{3}{100} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{3 \times 100}{100} \) = \( \frac{300}{100} \) = 3% chance to win the raffle.


5

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 9 hours at an average speed of 75 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
675 miles
585 miles
210 miles
450 miles

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 75mph \times 9h \)
675 miles
