a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

distributive property for division

commutative property for multiplication

distributive property for multiplication

commutative property for division


Solution

The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.

If there were a total of 150 raffle tickets sold and you bought 4 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
15%
16%
4%
3%

Solution

You have 4 out of the total of 150 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{4}{150} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{4 \times 100}{150} \) = \( \frac{400}{150} \) = 3% chance to win the raffle.


3

80% Answer Correctly
c-1
c20
c9
c

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

Bob loaned Ezra $200 at an annual interest rate of 8%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$16
$72
$50
$45

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $200
i = 0.08 x $200
i = $16


5

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
26
21
12
13

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 4

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 4
a6 = 17 + 4
a6 = 21
