1

Which of the following is not a prime number?

65% Answer Correctly

9

7

2

5


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

Find the average of the following numbers: 17, 13, 19, 11.

75% Answer Correctly
13
18
10
15

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{17 + 13 + 19 + 11}{4} \) = \( \frac{60}{4} \) = 15


3

A bread recipe calls for 3\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{1}{4}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
3\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups
1\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups
1\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (3\(\frac{3}{4}\) - \(\frac{1}{4}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{30}{8} \) - \( \frac{2}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{28}{8} \) cups
3\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups


4

How many 16-passenger vans will it take to drive all 84 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
4 vans
6 vans
7 vans
8 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{84}{16} \) = 5\(\frac{1}{4}\)

So, it will take 5 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 6 vans.

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 45% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
20%
25%
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
35%

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 45% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{45\text{%}}{2} \) = 22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
