What is \( \frac{9}{3} \) - \( \frac{4}{5} \)?
| \( \frac{7}{15} \) | |
| 2\(\frac{1}{5}\) | |
| \( \frac{9}{13} \) | |
| 2 \( \frac{7}{15} \) |
To subtract these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 3 are [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30] and the first few multiples of 5 are [5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50]. The first few multiples they share are [15, 30, 45, 60, 75] making 15 the smallest multiple 3 and 5 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{9 x 5}{3 x 5} \) - \( \frac{4 x 3}{5 x 3} \)
\( \frac{45}{15} \) - \( \frac{12}{15} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can subtract them:
\( \frac{45 - 12}{15} \) = \( \frac{33}{15} \) = 2\(\frac{1}{5}\)
In a class of 25 students, 13 are taking German and 13 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 7 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?
| 21 | |
| 6 | |
| 12 | |
| 13 |
The number of students taking German or Spanish is 13 + 13 = 26. Of that group of 26, 7 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 26 - 7 = 19 who are taking at least one language. 25 - 19 = 6 students who are not taking either language.
A tiger in a zoo has consumed 48 pounds of food in 8 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 84 pounds?
| 10 | |
| 1 | |
| 6 | |
| 12 |
If the tiger has consumed 48 pounds of food in 8 days that's \( \frac{48}{8} \) = 6 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 84 - 48 = 36 more pounds of food to reach 84 pounds total. At 6 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{36}{6} \) = 6 more days.
4! = ?
3 x 2 x 1 |
|
4 x 3 |
|
4 x 3 x 2 x 1 |
|
5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 |
A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.
What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 7, 13, 19, 25, __________ ?
| 23 | |
| 38 | |
| 33 | |
| 31 |
The equation for this sequence is:
an = an-1 + 6
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 + 6
a6 = 25 + 6
a6 = 31
