2

Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

b1 = 1

all of these are false

b1 = b

b0 = 1


Solution

A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).


3

A bread recipe calls for 2\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have 1\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups
2 cups
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (2\(\frac{7}{8}\) - 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{23}{8} \) - \( \frac{10}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{13}{8} \) cups
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups

5

How many 10-passenger vans will it take to drive all 79 members of the football team to an away game?

80% Answer Correctly
7 vans
8 vans
12 vans
4 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{79}{10} \) = 7\(\frac{9}{10}\)

So, it will take 7 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 8 vans.
