1

Which of the following is not a prime number?

65% Answer Correctly

7

5

2

9


Solution

A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no factors other than 1 and itself. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.


2

What is \( 8 \)\( \sqrt{12} \) + \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

35% Answer Correctly
23\( \sqrt{3} \)
15\( \sqrt{3} \)
56\( \sqrt{12} \)
15\( \sqrt{36} \)

Solution

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

8\( \sqrt{12} \) + 7\( \sqrt{3} \)
8\( \sqrt{4 \times 3} \) + 7\( \sqrt{3} \)
8\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 3} \) + 7\( \sqrt{3} \)
(8)(2)\( \sqrt{3} \) + 7\( \sqrt{3} \)
16\( \sqrt{3} \) + 7\( \sqrt{3} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

16\( \sqrt{3} \) + 7\( \sqrt{3} \)
(16 + 7)\( \sqrt{3} \)
23\( \sqrt{3} \)


3

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({a \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.


4

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 40% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
15%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
20%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 40% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{40\text{%}}{2} \) = 20%


5

4! = ?

85% Answer Correctly

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3


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.
