\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?

55% Answer Correctly

commutative property for multiplication

commutative property for division

distributive property for multiplication

distributive property for division


Solution

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, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).


2

The __________ is the greatest factor that divides two integers.

67% Answer Correctly

absolute value

greatest common multiple

greatest common factor

least common multiple


Solution

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that divides two integers.


3

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 10, 19, 28, 37, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
42
46
48
40

Solution

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


4

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?

57% Answer Correctly
$68.40
$51.30
$41.80
$7.60

Solution

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


5

What is \( \frac{1}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{3}{7} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{1}{42}\)
\(\frac{1}{5}\)
\(\frac{7}{15}\)

Solution

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 \( \frac{7}{3} \) = \( \frac{1 x 7}{5 x 3} \) = \( \frac{7}{15} \) = \(\frac{7}{15}\)
