1

How many 1 gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 4 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
3
4
2
9

Solution

To fill a 4 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 2 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1 gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{2 \text{ gallons}}{1 \text{ gallons}} \) = 2


2

a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

distributive property for division

commutative property for multiplication

commutative property for division

distributive property for multiplication


Solution

The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.


3

What is (b4)3?

80% Answer Correctly
b-1
b12
4b3
b

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(b4)3
b(4 * 3)
b12


4

The __________ is the greatest factor that divides two integers.

67% Answer Correctly

greatest common factor

absolute value

greatest common multiple

least common multiple


Solution

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that divides two integers.

What is 4\( \sqrt{9} \) x 9\( \sqrt{4} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
36\( \sqrt{4} \)
13\( \sqrt{36} \)
13\( \sqrt{9} \)
216

Solution

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

4\( \sqrt{9} \) x 9\( \sqrt{4} \)
(4 x 9)\( \sqrt{9 \times 4} \)
36\( \sqrt{36} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

36\( \sqrt{36} \)
36\( \sqrt{6^2} \)
(36)(6)
216
