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

56% Answer Correctly

distributive property for division

commutative property for division

distributive property for multiplication

commutative 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, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 7 hours at an average speed of 50 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
25 miles
55 miles
360 miles
350 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 = \( 50mph \times 7h \)
350 miles

Latoya scored 91% on her final exam. If each question was worth 4 points and there were 360 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Latoya answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
82

69

Solution

Latoya scored 91% on the test meaning she earned 91% of the possible points on the test. There were 360 possible points on the test so she earned 360 x 0.91 = 328 points. Each question is worth 4 points so she got \( \frac{328}{4} \) = 82 questions right.
