1

What is \( \frac{21\sqrt{10}}{3\sqrt{5}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{7} \)
2 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{21\sqrt{10}}{3\sqrt{5}} \)
\( \frac{21}{3} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{10}{5}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{2} \)


2

a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

distributive property for multiplication

distributive property for division

commutative property for division

commutative property for multiplication


Solution

The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.


3

The __________ is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.

56% Answer Correctly

least common multiple

greatest common factor

least common factor

absolute value


Solution

The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.


4

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

70% Answer Correctly

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({2 \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)


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.


5

Simplify \( \frac{28}{56} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{3}{7} \)
\( \frac{1}{4} \)
\( \frac{1}{2} \)
\( \frac{7}{16} \)

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 56 are [1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56]. They share 6 factors [1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28] making 28 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{28}{56} \) = \( \frac{\frac{28}{28}}{\frac{56}{28}} \) = \( \frac{1}{2} \)
