1

4! = ?

84% Answer Correctly

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.


2

The total water usage for a city is 50,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 32% is for personal use and 55% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
16,000
10,200
1,300
11,500

Solution

55% of the water consumption is industrial use and 32% is personal use so (55% - 32%) = 23% more water is used for industrial purposes. 50,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{23}{100} \) x 50,000 gallons = 11,500 gallons.


3

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({a \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)


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.


4

What is \( \frac{4}{7} \) x \( \frac{3}{9} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{7}\)
\(\frac{3}{16}\)
\(\frac{1}{20}\)
\(\frac{4}{21}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{4}{7} \) x \( \frac{3}{9} \) = \( \frac{4 x 3}{7 x 9} \) = \( \frac{12}{63} \) = \(\frac{4}{21}\)


5

Which of the following is not an integer?

77% Answer Correctly

0
