66% Answer Correctly
-14c5
14c-5
-2c5
-2c10

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so add the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

-8c5 + 6c5
(-8 + 6)c5
-2c5

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 30 pounds of food in 6 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 45 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
2
7
3
9

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 30 pounds of food in 6 days that's \( \frac{30}{6} \) = 5 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 45 - 30 = 15 more pounds of food to reach 45 pounds total. At 5 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{15}{5} \) = 3 more days.

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 30% off." If Ezra buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $34, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$10.20
$13.60
$8.50
42

Solution

By buying two shirts, Ezra will save $34 x \( \frac{30}{100} \) = \( \frac{$34 x 30}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1020}{100} \) = $10.20 on the second shirt.

Solve 3 + (4 + 2) ÷ 5 x 2 - 42

53% Answer Correctly
-10\(\frac{3}{5}\)
1\(\frac{2}{5}\)
\(\frac{7}{9}\)
\(\frac{5}{7}\)

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

3 + (4 + 2) ÷ 5 x 2 - 42
P: 3 + (6) ÷ 5 x 2 - 42
E: 3 + 6 ÷ 5 x 2 - 16
MD: 3 + \( \frac{6}{5} \) x 2 - 16
MD: 3 + \( \frac{12}{5} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{15}{5} \) + \( \frac{12}{5} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{27}{5} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{27 - 80}{5} \)
\( \frac{-53}{5} \)
-10\(\frac{3}{5}\)

How many 2 gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 16 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
4
8

Solution

To fill a 16 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 8 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2 gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{8 \text{ gallons}}{2 \text{ gallons}} \) = 4
