2

What is -6b3 x 4b3?

75% Answer Correctly
-24b6
-2b9
-24b3
-2b3

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

-6b3 x 4b3
(-6 x 4)b(3 + 3)
-24b6


3

What is \( \frac{-4c^7}{5c^4} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{4}{5}\)c1\(\frac{3}{4}\)
-\(\frac{4}{5}\)c3
-1\(\frac{1}{4}\)c-3
-1\(\frac{1}{4}\)c11

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:

\( \frac{-4c^7}{5c^4} \)
\( \frac{-4}{5} \) c(7 - 4)
-\(\frac{4}{5}\)c3


4

How many 16-passenger vans will it take to drive all 46 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
12 vans
3 vans
6 vans
4 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{46}{16} \) = 2\(\frac{7}{8}\)

So, it will take 2 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 3 vans.


5

The total water usage for a city is 45,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 28% is for personal use and 60% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
1,700
1,300
14,400
7,200

Solution

60% of the water consumption is industrial use and 28% is personal use so (60% - 28%) = 32% more water is used for industrial purposes. 45,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{32}{100} \) x 45,000 gallons = 14,400 gallons.
