Solve for \( \frac{2!}{3!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{9} \)
3024
\( \frac{1}{3} \)
336

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{2!}{3!} \)
\( \frac{2 \times 1}{3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{3} \)
\( \frac{1}{3} \)


2

4! = ?

84% Answer Correctly

3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3

4 x 3 x 2 x 1


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.


3

What is \( \frac{9}{3} \) - \( \frac{4}{5} \)?

61% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{7}{10} \)
1 \( \frac{5}{12} \)
2 \( \frac{3}{15} \)
2\(\frac{1}{5}\)

Solution

To subtract these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 3 are [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30] and the first few multiples of 5 are [5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50]. The first few multiples they share are [15, 30, 45, 60, 75] making 15 the smallest multiple 3 and 5 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{9 x 5}{3 x 5} \) - \( \frac{4 x 3}{5 x 3} \)

\( \frac{45}{15} \) - \( \frac{12}{15} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can subtract them:

\( \frac{45 - 12}{15} \) = \( \frac{33}{15} \) = 2\(\frac{1}{5}\)


4

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 7 hours at an average speed of 35 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
245 miles
180 miles
225 miles
80 miles

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 35mph \times 7h \)
245 miles


5

Roger loaned Bob $100 at an annual interest rate of 5%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$120
$5
$105
$98

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $100
i = 0.05 x $100
i = $5
