Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)

\({a \over 5} \)


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.

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 15% off." If Charlie buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $46, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$55.20
$39.10
$85.10
$6.90

Solution

By buying two shirts, Charlie will save $46 x \( \frac{15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$46 x 15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$690}{100} \) = $6.90 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$46.00 + ($46.00 - $6.90)
$46.00 + $39.10
$85.10

What is (x5)5?

80% Answer Correctly
5x5
x25
x0

(x5)5
x(5 * 5)
x25


4

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 5 hours at an average speed of 35 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
270 miles
300 miles
175 miles
90 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 = \( 35mph \times 5h \)
175 miles


5

How many 16-passenger vans will it take to drive all 69 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
10 vans
5 vans
7 vans
6 vans

Solution

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

vans = \( \frac{69}{16} \) = 4\(\frac{5}{16}\)

So, it will take 4 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 5 vans.
