Example Question #1 :Operations And Algebraic Thinking

Solve for:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve this equation we need to isolate the variable to one side. Do not forget to perform the same operation on both sides of the equation.

Divide each side of the equation by:

Solve.

Example Question #2 :Operations And Algebraic Thinking

Read the following scenario:

A barista has to make sixty pounds of a special blend of coffee at Moonbucks, using Hazelnut Happiness beans and Pecan Delight beans. If there are fourteen fewer pounds of Hazelnut Happiness beans in the mixture than Pecan Delight beans, then how many pounds of each will she use?

Ifrepresents the number of pounds of Pecan Delight coffee beans in the mixture, then which of the following equations could be set up in order to find the number of pounds of each variety of bean?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Since there are fourteen fewer pounds of Hazelnut Happiness beans in the mixture than Pecan Delight beans , then the number of pounds of Hazelnut Happiness beans is fourteen subtracted from:

.

Add the number of pounds of Pecan Delight beans,, to the number of pounds of Hazelnut Happiness beans,,得到混合物,英镑的数量范围h is.

This translates to the following equation:

Example Question #3 :Operations And Algebraic Thinking

What iswritten as a multiplication problem?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When expanding an exponent, we multiply the base by itself for the number indicated by the exponential value.

In this case, our base number isand our exponential value is. So we multiplyby itselftimes.

Remember, the question asks us for the multiplication problem, not the answer to. Because of this,is our correct answer.

Example Question #1 :The Real And Complex Number Systems

Candidate A receivesvotes for everyvote that candidate B receives. At the end of the election candidate B hasvotes. How many votes did candidate A get?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to create a ratio with the given information. It says that for everyvotes cast for candidate A, candidate B gotvote. We can write the following ratio.

现在在给定的数字代替。

We know that candidate B receivedvotes. Write a new ratio.

Now, use the original relationship to create a proportion and solve for the number of votes that candidate A received.

Cross multiply and solve for.

Simplify and solve.

Example Question #2 :The Real And Complex Number Systems

Use the distributive property to express the sumas the multiple of a sum of two whole numbers with no common factor.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The distributive property can be used to rewrite an expression. When we use this property we will identify and pull out the greatest common factor of each of the addends. Then we can create a quantity that represents the sum of two whole numbers with no common factor multiplied by their greatest common factor.

In this case, the greatest common factor shared by each number is:

After we reduce each addend by the greatest common factor we can rewrite the expression:

Example Question #3 :The Real And Complex Number Systems

Which value forwould make the inequality below true?

Possible Answers:

All of the choices are correct

Correct answer:

All of the choices are correct

Explanation:

We can use substitution to determine which value ofmakes the inequality true.

Because we are looking for a value ofthat makes the expression less than, all of our choices are correct.

Example Question #1 :Geometry

What is the area of the right triangle in the following figure?

1

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

There are several different ways to solve for the area of a right triangle. In this lesson, we will transform the right triangle into a rectangle, use the the simpler formula for area of a rectangle to solve for the new figure's area, and divide this area in half in order to solve for the area of the original figure.

First, let's transform the triangle into a rectangle:

1 1

Second, let's remember that the formula for area of a rectangle is as follows:

Substitute in our side lengths.

Last, notice that our triangle is exactly half the size of the rectangle that we made. This means that in order to solve for the area of the triangle we will need to take half of the area of the rectangle, or divide it by.

Thus, the area formula for a right triangle is as follows:

or

Example Question #2 :Geometry

What is the volume of the rectangular prism in the following figure?

2

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The formula used to find volume of a rectangular prism is as follows:

Substitute our side lengths:

Remember, volume is always written with cubic units because volume is how many cubic units can fit inside of a figure.

Example Question #3 :Geometry

Hydraulic fracturing is a process used by gas companies to rupture and collects pockets of gas trapped within pockets of shale rock. A particular shale fracking site isin length and occupies an area of. How wide is this particular site?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve this question, we need to first recall how to find the area of a rectangle.

Substitute in the given values in the equation and solve for.

Divide both sides by

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its inverse or reciprocal.

Find the reciprocal of

Simplify and rewrite.

Multiply and solve.

Reduce.

The width of the fracking site is
