1

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({a \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)


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.


2

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 10, 19, 31, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
49
46
40
53

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3(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 + 3(6 - 1)
a6 = 31 + 3(5)
a6 = 46


3

Which of these numbers is a factor of 64?

68% Answer Correctly
32
36
66
17

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 64 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64.


4

Convert z-3 to remove the negative exponent.

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

Solution

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


5

How many hours does it take a car to travel 275 miles at an average speed of 55 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
5 hours
2 hours
7 hours
9 hours

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 time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{275mi}{55mph} \)
5 hours
