What is the least common multiple of 6 and 10?
| 30 | |
| 58 | |
| 16 | |
| 14 |
The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 10 are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [30, 60, 90] making 30 the smallest multiple 6 and 10 have in common.
Which of these numbers is a factor of 72?
| 19 | |
| 57 | |
| 68 | |
| 18 |
The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72.
Which of the following statements about exponents is false?
all of these are false |
|
b1 = b |
|
b1 = 1 |
|
b0 = 1 |
A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).
19 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 4 4-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?
| 3 | |
| 6 | |
| 1 | |
| 8 |
There are 4 4-passenger taxis available so that's 4 x 4 = 16 total seats. There are 19 people needing transportation leaving 19 - 16 = 3 who will have to find other transportation.
What is \( \frac{5}{6} \) - \( \frac{6}{12} \)?
| \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| 2 \( \frac{1}{12} \) | |
| 2 \( \frac{8}{12} \) | |
| \( \frac{8}{14} \) |
To subtract 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:
\( \frac{5 x 2}{6 x 2} \) - \( \frac{6 x 1}{12 x 1} \)
\( \frac{10}{12} \) - \( \frac{6}{12} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can subtract them:
\( \frac{10 - 6}{12} \) = \( \frac{4}{12} \) = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
