A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 10% off." If Damon buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $31, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$27.90
$34.10
$35.65
$58.90

Solution

By buying two shirts, Damon will save $31 x \( \frac{10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$31 x 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$310}{100} \) = $3.10 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$31.00 + ($31.00 - $3.10)
$31.00 + $27.90
$58.90

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

71% 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.


3

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{16}{64}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{5}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
1\(\frac{2}{7}\)

Solution

To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:

\( \sqrt{\frac{16}{64}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{16}}{\sqrt{64}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{4^2}}{\sqrt{8^2}} \)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

4! = ?

85% Answer Correctly

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

3 x 2 x 1


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.


5

Which of these numbers is a factor of 24?

69% Answer Correctly
23
7
4
2

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24.
