\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?
commutative property for multiplication |
|
commutative property for division |
|
distributive property for multiplication |
|
distributive property for division |
The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).
The __________ is the greatest factor that divides two integers.
absolute value |
|
greatest common multiple |
|
greatest common factor |
|
least common multiple |
The greatest common factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that divides two integers.
What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 10, 19, 28, 37, __________ ?
| 42 | |
| 46 | |
| 48 | |
| 40 |
The equation for this sequence is:
an = an-1 + 9
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 + 9
a6 = 37 + 9
a6 = 46
A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 20% off." If Roger buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $38, how much will he pay for both shirts?
| $68.40 | |
| $51.30 | |
| $41.80 | |
| $7.60 |
By buying two shirts, Roger will save $38 x \( \frac{20}{100} \) = \( \frac{$38 x 20}{100} \) = \( \frac{$760}{100} \) = $7.60 on the second shirt.
So, his total cost will be
$38.00 + ($38.00 - $7.60)
$38.00 + $30.40
$68.40
What is \( \frac{1}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{3}{7} \)?
| 2\(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{42}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{5}\) | |
| \(\frac{7}{15}\) |
To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:
\( \frac{1}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{3}{7} \) = \( \frac{1}{5} \) x \( \frac{7}{3} \)
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:
\( \frac{1}{5} \) x \( \frac{7}{3} \) = \( \frac{1 x 7}{5 x 3} \) = \( \frac{7}{15} \) = \(\frac{7}{15}\)
