Which of the following is a mixed number?

83% Answer Correctly

\({a \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)


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.


2

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
2
10
17
11

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 2

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 + 2
a6 = 9 + 2
a6 = 11


3

Which of the following is not a prime number?

65% Answer Correctly

2

7

5

9


Solution

A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no factors other than 1 and itself. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(y2)5
y(2 * 5)
y10
