How many 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 15 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
5
10
2
5

Solution

To fill a 15 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 7\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{7\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}}{1\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 5


2

What is \( \frac{2}{9} \) x \( \frac{1}{5} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{45}\)
\(\frac{2}{15}\)
\(\frac{9}{35}\)
\(\frac{2}{9}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{2}{9} \) x \( \frac{1}{5} \) = \( \frac{2 x 1}{9 x 5} \) = \( \frac{2}{45} \) = \(\frac{2}{45}\)

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 5% off." If Charlie buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $25, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$2.50
$11.25
$1.25
$6.25

Solution

By buying two shirts, Charlie will save $25 x \( \frac{5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$25 x 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$125}{100} \) = $1.25 on the second shirt.

4! = ?

85% Answer Correctly

4 x 3

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

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.


5

Convert a-3 to remove the negative exponent.

68% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-3}{-a} \)
\( \frac{1}{a^3} \)
\( \frac{3}{a} \)
\( \frac{-1}{-3a} \)

Solution

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