1

Convert b-2 to remove the negative exponent.

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-1}{b^{-2}} \)
\( \frac{2}{b} \)
\( \frac{1}{b^2} \)
\( \frac{-1}{-2b} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.


2

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.


3

If a car travels 450 miles in 6 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
25 mph
70 mph
75 mph
60 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{450mi}{6h} \)
75 mph
