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

55% Answer Correctly

distributive property for division

distributive property for multiplication

commutative property for division

commutative property for multiplication


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, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).

Find the average of the following numbers: 7, 5, 10, 2.

74% Answer Correctly
6
7
10
8

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{7 + 5 + 10 + 2}{4} \) = \( \frac{24}{4} \) = 6


3

If there were a total of 250 raffle tickets sold and you bought 22 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
15%
9%
13%
6%

Solution

You have 22 out of the total of 250 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{22}{250} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{22 \times 100}{250} \) = \( \frac{2200}{250} \) = 9% chance to win the raffle.


5

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 5, 13, 25, 41, __________ ?

68% Answer Correctly
61
68
69
55

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 4(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 + 4(6 - 1)
a6 = 41 + 4(5)
a6 = 61
