ANSWER KEY
Unit 1. THE REAL NUMBER SYSTEM

1. If 7.4E-7 is displayed on the calculator, the meaning is 0.00000074.

2. Earth : 5.974 · 10 27 grams → 6.0 · 10 27


Mars : 6.419 · 10 26 grams → 6.0 · 10 26

6.0 𝑥1027 6.0 1027


= 𝑥 = 1.0 · 10 1 = 10
6.0 𝑥1026 6.0 1026

Earth has a mass that is approximately 10 times greater than Mars'.

3. Convert a repeating decimal to its equivalent fraction.


0.55 = 0.5555...
x = 0. 55
100(x) = 100(0.5555...)
100x = 55.55
100x – x = 55.55 - 0.55
100x - x = 55
99x = 55
x = 55/99 = 5/9

10. "No less than" means "greater than or equal to".

40m ≥ 300
11. Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF).
48 = 2 · 2 · 2 ·2 · 3
60 = 2 · 2 · 3 · 5
96 = 2 · 2 · 2 ·2 · 2 · 3
GCF = 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 = 12

12. 9f = 44.56 + 37.36


9f : 9 = 81.92 : 9
f = 9.10

13. Amount of discount: 100 - 96 = 4


Percent of discount: 6/100 = 4 %

14. 2/15 = X/12  Multiply by 12

(2/15) x 12 = (X/12) x 12
24/15 =X

1 =X

15. Correct answer:


h = 5.1 m

Step-by-step explanation:
h1=170 cm→ 170 cm :100 =1.7 m
t1=1.5 m
t2=3⋅ t1
=3⋅ 1.5=4.5 m
h=3⋅ h1=3⋅ 1.7=5.1 m
h2/h1 =t2/t1
h2/1.7 = 4.5/1.5
h2/1.7 = 3  h2 = 3x 1.7 = 5.1 meter
16. Convert meters to kilometers:

1,000n = 20
n = 0.02 km
Convert seconds to hours: 3,600t = 1
t = 1/3,600 hour
20/s = 0.02 km : 1/3,600 hour = 2/100 : 1/3,600 = 2/100 x 3,600 = 72 kilometers per hour

17. 2 (Length) + 2 (Width) = Perimeter


2(x - 2) + 2(12) = 38
2x - 4 + 24 = 38
2x + 20 = 38
-20 -20
2x = 18
X = 9

18. 15x + 3y = 15
3y = -15x + 15
y = -5x + 5
