Which of the following is an improper fraction?

70% Answer Correctly

	\(1 {2 \over 5} \)
	\({a \over 5} \)
	\({2 \over 5} \)
	\({7 \over 5} \)

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.

What is \( \frac{4a^8}{1a^2} \)?

60% Answer Correctly

	\(\frac{1}{4}\)a⁶
	4a^-6
	4a⁶
	4a¹⁰

Solution

To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

\( \frac{4a^8}{a^2} \)
\( \frac{4}{1} \) a^{(8 - 2)}
4a⁶
