Solve for \( \frac{2!}{3!} \)
| \( \frac{1}{9} \) | |
| 3024 | |
| \( \frac{1}{3} \) | |
| 336 |
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:
\( \frac{2!}{3!} \)
\( \frac{2 \times 1}{3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{3} \)
\( \frac{1}{3} \)
4! = ?
3 x 2 x 1 |
|
5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 |
|
4 x 3 |
|
4 x 3 x 2 x 1 |
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.
What is \( \frac{9}{3} \) - \( \frac{4}{5} \)?
| \( \frac{7}{10} \) | |
| 1 \( \frac{5}{12} \) | |
| 2 \( \frac{3}{15} \) | |
| 2\(\frac{1}{5}\) |
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\(\frac{1}{5}\)
What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 7 hours at an average speed of 35 miles per hour?
| 245 miles | |
| 180 miles | |
| 225 miles | |
| 80 miles |
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
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?
| $120 | |
| $5 | |
| $105 | |
| $98 |
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
