1

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({5 \over 7} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)


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.

If there were a total of 100 raffle tickets sold and you bought 2 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
18%
4%
14%
2%

Solution

You have 2 out of the total of 100 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{2}{100} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{2 \times 100}{100} \) = \( \frac{200}{100} \) = 2% chance to win the raffle.


3

What is \( \frac{4}{7} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{7} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{10}\)
\(\frac{2}{35}\)
\(\frac{2}{81}\)
4

Solution

To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:

\( \frac{4}{7} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{7} \) = \( \frac{4}{7} \) x \( \frac{7}{1} \)

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

\( \frac{4}{7} \) x \( \frac{7}{1} \) = \( \frac{4 x 7}{7 x 1} \) = \( \frac{28}{7} \) = 4


4

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 7, 13, 21, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
38
31
23
30

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 2(n - 1)

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 2(6 - 1)
a6 = 21 + 2(5)
a6 = 31


5

What is (z3)4?

80% Answer Correctly
z-1
3z4
4z3
z12

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(z3)4
z(3 * 4)
z12
