Simplify \( \frac{40}{60} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{3}{10} \)
\( \frac{2}{3} \)
\( \frac{9}{20} \)
\( \frac{10}{13} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 40 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40] and the factors of 60 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60]. They share 6 factors [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20] making 20 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{40}{60} \) = \( \frac{\frac{40}{20}}{\frac{60}{20}} \) = \( \frac{2}{3} \)


2

In a class of 36 students, 11 are taking German and 14 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 2 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
32
11
13
20

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 11 + 14 = 25. Of that group of 25, 2 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 25 - 2 = 23 who are taking at least one language. 36 - 23 = 13 students who are not taking either language.


3

4! = ?

84% Answer Correctly

3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3 x 2 x 1


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.


4

Which of the following is not an integer?

77% Answer Correctly

\({1 \over 2}\)

-1

0

1


Solution

An integer is any whole number, including zero. An integer can be either positive or negative. Examples include -77, -1, 0, 55, 119.


5

The __________ is the greatest factor that divides two integers.

67% Answer Correctly

greatest common factor

absolute value

greatest common multiple

least common multiple


Solution

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that divides two integers.
