PEDMAS

associative

commutative

distributive


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.

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 9 hours at an average speed of 60 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
55 miles
45 miles
540 miles
405 miles

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 distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 60mph \times 9h \)
540 miles

Simplify \( \sqrt{8} \)

62% Answer Correctly
8\( \sqrt{2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{4} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{8} \)
\( \sqrt{4 \times 2} \)
\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)


5

Convert y-3 to remove the negative exponent.

68% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{3}{y} \)
\( \frac{-1}{y^{-3}} \)
\( \frac{-3}{-y} \)
\( \frac{1}{y^3} \)

Solution

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