Find the average of the following numbers: 16, 12, 15, 13.

74% Answer Correctly
17
10
19
14

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{16 + 12 + 15 + 13}{4} \) = \( \frac{56}{4} \) = 14


2

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

59% Answer Correctly

commutative

associative

distributive

PEDMAS


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.


3

How many hours does it take a car to travel 440 miles at an average speed of 55 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
4 hours
8 hours
6 hours
7 hours

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 time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{440mi}{55mph} \)
8 hours

Monty loaned Christine $300 at an annual interest rate of 6%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$309
$327
$315
$318

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $300
i = 0.06 x $300

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $300 + $18
total = $318


5

Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

b0 = 1

all of these are false

b1 = 1

b1 = b


Solution

A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).
