What is -4c4 - 7c4?

71% Answer Correctly
3c-8
3c8
-11c4
3c16

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so subtract the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

-4c4 - 7c4
(-4 - 7)c4
-11c4


2

What is \( \frac{3}{8} \) x \( \frac{4}{6} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{2}{15}\)
\(\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\frac{1}{12}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{3}{8} \) x \( \frac{4}{6} \) = \( \frac{3 x 4}{8 x 6} \) = \( \frac{12}{48} \) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)


3

What is 8\( \sqrt{8} \) x 4\( \sqrt{6} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
32\( \sqrt{14} \)
12\( \sqrt{48} \)
12\( \sqrt{6} \)
128\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

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

8\( \sqrt{8} \) x 4\( \sqrt{6} \)
(8 x 4)\( \sqrt{8 \times 6} \)
32\( \sqrt{48} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

32\( \sqrt{48} \)
32\( \sqrt{3 \times 16} \)
32\( \sqrt{3 \times 4^2} \)
(32)(4)\( \sqrt{3} \)
128\( \sqrt{3} \)


4

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 2 hours at an average speed of 65 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
130 miles
60 miles
165 miles
30 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 = \( 65mph \times 2h \)
130 miles


5

Simplify \( \frac{28}{60} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{9}{19} \)
\( \frac{9}{20} \)
\( \frac{9}{17} \)
\( \frac{7}{15} \)

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 60 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{28}{60} \) = \( \frac{\frac{28}{4}}{\frac{60}{4}} \) = \( \frac{7}{15} \)
