Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

b1 = b

all of these are false

b1 = 1

b0 = 1


Solution

A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).

Monica scored 90% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 90 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Monica answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
23
27
28
29

Solution

Monica scored 90% on the test meaning she earned 90% of the possible points on the test. There were 90 possible points on the test so she earned 90 x 0.9 = 81 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{81}{3} \) = 27 questions right.

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 25 pounds of food in 5 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 60 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
7
2
4
1

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 25 pounds of food in 5 days that's \( \frac{25}{5} \) = 5 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 60 - 25 = 35 more pounds of food to reach 60 pounds total. At 5 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{35}{5} \) = 7 more days.

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 35% off." If Monty buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $38, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$11.40
$1.90
$13.30
$9.50

Solution

By buying two shirts, Monty will save $38 x \( \frac{35}{100} \) = \( \frac{$38 x 35}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1330}{100} \) = $13.30 on the second shirt.


5

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)

\({a \over 5} \)


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.
