What is \( \frac{5}{5} \) - \( \frac{6}{7} \)?

61% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{7}{13} \)
\(\frac{1}{7}\)
2 \( \frac{1}{10} \)
\( \frac{9}{16} \)

Solution

To subtract these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 5 are [5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50] and the first few multiples of 7 are [7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70]. The first few multiples they share are [35, 70] making 35 the smallest multiple 5 and 7 share.

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

\( \frac{5 x 7}{5 x 7} \) - \( \frac{6 x 5}{7 x 5} \)

\( \frac{35}{35} \) - \( \frac{30}{35} \)

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

\( \frac{35 - 30}{35} \) = \( \frac{5}{35} \) = \(\frac{1}{7}\)


2

What is (b4)2?

80% Answer Correctly
b2
4b2
b8
b6

Solution

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

(b4)2
b(4 * 2)
b8

\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?

55% Answer Correctly

distributive property for multiplication

commutative property for division

commutative property for multiplication

distributive property for division


Solution

The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).

Latoya scored 78% on her final exam. If each question was worth 2 points and there were 120 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Latoya answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
48
47
62
36

Solution

Latoya scored 78% on the test meaning she earned 78% of the possible points on the test. There were 120 possible points on the test so she earned 120 x 0.78 = 94 points. Each question is worth 2 points so she got \( \frac{94}{2} \) = 47 questions right.


5

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 3:1 and all 40,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
24,667
30,000
24,000
28,667

Solution

A ratio of 3:1 means that there are 3 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 4 fans, 3 are home fans and \( \frac{3}{4} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

40,000 fans x \( \frac{3}{4} \) = \( \frac{120000}{4} \) = 30,000 fans.
