1

What is \( \frac{4}{9} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{5} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{30}\)
\(\frac{2}{21}\)
2\(\frac{2}{9}\)
20

Solution

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

\( \frac{4}{9} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{5} \) = \( \frac{4}{9} \) x \( \frac{5}{1} \)

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

\( \frac{4}{9} \) x \( \frac{5}{1} \) = \( \frac{4 x 5}{9 x 1} \) = \( \frac{20}{9} \) = 2\(\frac{2}{9}\)


2

Simplify \( \frac{28}{76} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{3}{8} \)
\( \frac{4}{9} \)
\( \frac{7}{19} \)
\( \frac{10}{19} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 28 are [1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28] and the factors of 76 are [1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{28}{76} \) = \( \frac{\frac{28}{4}}{\frac{76}{4}} \) = \( \frac{7}{19} \)


3

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
18
26
21
29

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 4

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
a6 = 17 + 4
a6 = 21


4

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 1 hour at an average speed of 25 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
200 miles
220 miles
25 miles
180 miles

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 distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 25mph \times 1h \)
25 miles


5

Convert 2,127,000 to scientific notation.

62% Answer Correctly
0.213 x 107
2.127 x 106
21.27 x 105
2.127 x 10-6

Solution

A number in scientific notation has the format 0.000 x 10exponent. To convert to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the right or the left until the number is a decimal between 1 and 10. The exponent of the 10 is the number of places you moved the decimal point and is positive if you moved the decimal point to the left and negative if you moved it to the right:

2,127,000 in scientific notation is 2.127 x 106
