1

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

59% Answer Correctly

associative

distributive

PEDMAS

commutative


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.


2

Convert a-3 to remove the negative exponent.

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-1}{-3a^{3}} \)
\( \frac{-1}{a^{-3}} \)
\( \frac{1}{a^3} \)
\( \frac{-3}{a} \)

Solution

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


3

How many 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 6 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

51% Answer Correctly
4
6
2
8

Solution

To fill a 6 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 3 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{3 \text{ gallons}}{1\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 2


4

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

70% Answer Correctly

\({2 \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)


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.


5

What is -4y4 - 7y4?

71% Answer Correctly
3y8
3y-8
3y16
-11y4

Solution

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

-4y4 - 7y4
(-4 - 7)y4
-11y4
