\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?
distributive property for multiplication |
|
distributive property for division |
|
commutative property for division |
|
commutative property for multiplication |
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, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).
How many 12-passenger vans will it take to drive all 93 members of the football team to an away game?
| 6 vans | |
| 9 vans | |
| 8 vans | |
| 11 vans |
Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:
vans = \( \frac{93}{12} \) = 7\(\frac{3}{4}\)
So, it will take 7 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 8 vans.
What is the greatest common factor of 52 and 80?
| 38 | |
| 12 | |
| 39 | |
| 4 |
The factors of 52 are [1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52] and the factors of 80 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 the greatest factor 52 and 80 have in common.
What is \( \frac{9\sqrt{15}}{3\sqrt{5}} \)?
| \(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{3} \) | |
| 3 \( \sqrt{3} \) | |
| \(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \) | |
| 3 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \) |
To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:
\( \frac{9\sqrt{15}}{3\sqrt{5}} \)
\( \frac{9}{3} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{15}{5}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{3} \)
On average, the center for a basketball team hits 30% of his shots while a guard on the same team hits 40% of his shots. If the guard takes 15 shots during a game, how many shots will the center have to take to score as many points as the guard assuming each shot is worth the same number of points?
| 17 | |
| 11 | |
| 13 | |
| 20 |
guard shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \) = 15 x \( \frac{40}{100} \) = \( \frac{40 x 15}{100} \) = \( \frac{600}{100} \) = 6 shots
The center makes 30% of his shots so he'll have to take:
shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \)
shots taken = \( \frac{\text{shots taken}}{\frac{\text{% made}}{100}} \)
to make as many shots as the guard. Plugging in values for the center gives us:
center shots taken = \( \frac{6}{\frac{30}{100}} \) = 6 x \( \frac{100}{30} \) = \( \frac{6 x 100}{30} \) = \( \frac{600}{30} \) = 20 shots
to make the same number of shots as the guard and thus score the same number of points.
