1

Solve for \( \frac{6!}{3!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{6} \)
\( \frac{1}{120} \)
\( \frac{1}{7} \)
120

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{6!}{3!} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4}{1} \)
\( 6 \times 5 \times 4 \)
120


2

What is \( \frac{9x^9}{3x^4} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{3}\)x5
3x36
3x5
3x\(\frac{4}{9}\)

Solution

To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

\( \frac{9x^9}{3x^4} \)
\( \frac{9}{3} \) x(9 - 4)
3x5


3

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

56% Answer Correctly

commutative property for multiplication

distributive property for division

commutative property for division

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


4

What is \( \frac{21\sqrt{63}}{7\sqrt{9}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
3 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{7} \)
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{21\sqrt{63}}{7\sqrt{9}} \)
\( \frac{21}{7} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{63}{9}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{7} \)


5

How many hours does it take a car to travel 135 miles at an average speed of 15 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
4 hours
1 hour
9 hours
6 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 = \( \frac{135mi}{15mph} \)
9 hours
