What is \( \frac{2}{6} \) + \( \frac{2}{12} \)?
| 2 \( \frac{4}{12} \) | |
| 1 \( \frac{1}{8} \) | |
| \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| \( \frac{9}{18} \) |
To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 12 are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96]. The first few multiples they share are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60] making 12 the smallest multiple 6 and 12 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{2 x 2}{6 x 2} \) + \( \frac{2 x 1}{12 x 1} \)
\( \frac{4}{12} \) + \( \frac{2}{12} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:
\( \frac{4 + 2}{12} \) = \( \frac{6}{12} \) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
How many hours does it take a car to travel 385 miles at an average speed of 55 miles per hour?
| 8 hours | |
| 7 hours | |
| 5 hours | |
| 3 hours |
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 time:
time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{385mi}{55mph} \)
7 hours
What is 2c6 - 9c6?
| 11c6 | |
| 11c12 | |
| 11c-12 | |
| -7c6 |
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:
2c6 - 9c6
(2 - 9)c6
-7c6
Solve for \( \frac{6!}{3!} \)
| \( \frac{1}{30} \) | |
| 120 | |
| 30 | |
| \( \frac{1}{6720} \) |
A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:
\( \frac{6!}{3!} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4}{1} \)
\( 6 \times 5 \times 4 \)
120
Simplify \( \sqrt{175} \)
| 4\( \sqrt{7} \) | |
| 5\( \sqrt{7} \) | |
| 6\( \sqrt{14} \) | |
| 6\( \sqrt{7} \) |
To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:
\( \sqrt{175} \)
\( \sqrt{25 \times 7} \)
\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 7} \)
5\( \sqrt{7} \)
