Questions and Answers
- 1.
Which of the following describes the pattern a x b = b x a?
- A.
5 x 4 = 20
- B.
20 = 5 x 4
- C.
5 x 4 = 4 x 5
- D.
5 x 4 = 10 x 2
Correct Answer
C. 5 x 4 = 4 x 5Explanation
The given pattern describes the commutative property of multiplication, which states that the order of the factors does not affect the product. In other words, when multiplying two numbers, it doesn't matter which number comes first, the result will be the same. So, 5 x 4 is equal to 4 x 5.Rate this question:

Describe the pattern (0 x 5 = 0, 0 x 44 = 0) using one or two variables.
- A.
A x b = 0
- B.
A x 0 = b
- C.
0 x n = 0
- D.
0 x n = n
Correct Answer
C. 0 x n = 0Explanation
The pattern in the given equations is that whenever one of the variables is 0, the result is always 0. This is because any number multiplied by 0 is always 0. Therefore, in the equation 0 x n = 0, no matter what value n takes, the result will always be 0.Rate this question:

Choose the set(s) of numbers to which the number 0 belongs.
- A.
Natural numbers
- B.
Whole numbers
- C.
Integers
- D.
Rational numbers
Correct Answer(s)
B. Whole numbers
C. Integers
D. Rational numbersExplanation
The number 0 belongs to the set of whole numbers because it is a non-negative integer. It also belongs to the set of integers because it can be expressed as a fraction with a denominator of 1. Additionally, 0 is a rational number because it can be expressed as the ratio of two integers.Rate this question:

Whole numbers
- C.
Integers
- D.
Rational numbers
Correct Answer
D. Rational numbersExplanation
The number (-1/3) is a rational number because it can be expressed as a fraction, where the numerator (-1) and the denominator (3) are both integers. Rational numbers include all integers and fractions, which can be written as a ratio of two integers.Rate this question:

Choose the two numbers that have the absolute value of 16.
- A.
16
- B.
8
- C.
2
- D.
-16
Correct Answer(s)
A. 16
D. -16Explanation
The two numbers that have the absolute value of 16 are 16 and -16. Absolute value is a mathematical function that returns the positive value of a number, regardless of its sign. In this case, both 16 and -16 have a positive absolute value of 16, making them the correct answer.Rate this question:

Choose the option in order of least to greatest using <
- A.
-4 < 1 < 3
- B.
-4 > 1 > 3
Correct Answer
A. -4 < 1 < 3Explanation
The given answer correctly shows the order of the numbers from least to greatest. It states that -4 is less than 1, and 1 is less than 3. This is the correct order of the numbers based on the given information.Rate this question:

Arrange the numbers -3, -9, 0 in order from the greatest to least using >.
- A.
-9 > -3 > 0
- B.
0 > -3 > -9
- C.
-3 > -9 > 0
Correct Answer
B. 0 > -3 > -9Explanation
The numbers are being arranged in descending order, from greatest to least. In this case, 0 is the greatest number since it is greater than both -3 and -9. -3 is greater than -9, so it comes next. Finally, -9 is the smallest number, so it comes last. Therefore, the correct arrangement is 0 > -3 > -9.Rate this question:

Follow the correct order of operations to simplify 25 ÷ (4 + 1) + 3
- A.
6
- B.
7
- C.
8
- D.
9
Correct Answer
C. 8Explanation
To simplify the expression 25 ÷ (4 + 1) + 3, we need to follow the order of operations, which states that we should first evaluate any expressions inside parentheses. The expression inside the parentheses is 4 + 1, which equals 5. Therefore, the expression becomes 25 ÷ 5 + 3. Next, we perform the division, which is 25 ÷ 5 = 5. Finally, we add 3 to 5, resulting in 8. Therefore, the correct answer is 8.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 15Explanation
The given expression follows the order of operations, which states that multiplication should be performed before addition. Therefore, the multiplication of 6 and 2 should be done first, resulting in 12. Then, the addition of 3 and 12 should be done, resulting in a final answer of 15.Rate this question:

- D.
-4
Correct Answer
A. -1Explanation
To evaluate 2y - 3x when x = 3 and y = 4, we substitute the given values into the expression. So, 2(4) - 3(3) becomes 8 - 9, which equals -1. Therefore, the correct answer is -1.Rate this question:

- A.
4
- B.
2
- C.
6
- D.
12
Correct Answer
C. 6Explanation
The given expression is a product of two binomials, (4a + 3b + 9c - 5d) and (5x - 8y). To find the number of terms in the product, we need to multiply the number of terms in each binomial. The first binomial has 4 terms (4a, 3b, 9c, -5d) and the second binomial has 2 terms (5x, -8y). Multiplying these two numbers gives us 6, which means there are 6 terms in the given expression.Rate this question:

- B.
16
- C.
9
- D.
12
Correct Answer
A. 14Explanation
The given expression involves addition, subtraction, and exponentiation. To solve it, we start by calculating the value inside the parentheses, which is 5 - 2 = 3. Then, we square this value, obtaining 3² = 9. Next, we add 7 to 9, resulting in 7 + 9 = 16. Finally, we subtract 2 from 16, giving us 16 - 2 = 14. Therefore, the correct answer is 14.Rate this question:

Resolve for x when (x - 10)/2 = 4
- A.
X = 14
- B.
X = 16
- C.
X= 18
- D.
X = 20
Correct Answer
C. X= 18Explanation
In the given equation, (x - 10)/2 = 4, we need to solve for x. To isolate x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to get rid of the denominator. This gives us x - 10 = 8. Adding 10 to both sides, we have x = 18. Therefore, the correct answer is x = 18.Rate this question:

If 1/5 of the students at the University of Maryland are out-of-state transfers, and there are 23,000 students enrolled, how many are Maryland residents?
- A.
19,400
- B.
4,600
- C.
18.400
- D.
3,600
Correct Answer
C. 18.400Explanation
Since 1/5 of the students are out-of-state transfers, this means that 4/5 of the students are Maryland residents. To find the number of Maryland residents, we can multiply 4/5 by the total number of students enrolled. Therefore, 4/5 * 23,000 = 18,400.Rate this question:
