Solve for \( \frac{6!}{2!} \)

66% Answer Correctly
210
72
9
360

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:

\( \frac{6!}{2!} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3}{1} \)
\( 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \)
360

If a mayor is elected with 64% of the votes cast and 80% of a town's 30,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
15,360
12,240
14,400
17,280

Solution

If 80% of the town's 30,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{80}{100} \)) x 30,000 = \( \frac{2,400,000}{100} \) = 24,000

The mayor got 64% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{64}{100} \)) x 24,000 = \( \frac{1,536,000}{100} \) = 15,360 votes.


3

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
25
19
16
22

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3

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 + 3
a6 = 13 + 3
a6 = 16


4

How many hours does it take a car to travel 135 miles at an average speed of 15 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
3 hours
1 hour
6 hours
9 hours

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 time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{135mi}{15mph} \)
9 hours


5

What is \( \frac{45\sqrt{30}}{9\sqrt{6}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{5} \)
5 \( \sqrt{5} \)
5 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \)
\(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{45\sqrt{30}}{9\sqrt{6}} \)
\( \frac{45}{9} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{30}{6}} \)
5 \( \sqrt{5} \)
