Simplify \( \frac{28}{68} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{4}{13} \)
\( \frac{3}{5} \)
\( \frac{7}{17} \)
\( \frac{7}{15} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 28 are [1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28] and the factors of 68 are [1, 2, 4, 17, 34, 68]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{28}{68} \) = \( \frac{\frac{28}{4}}{\frac{68}{4}} \) = \( \frac{7}{17} \)


2

Solve for \( \frac{4!}{6!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{42} \)
336
42
\( \frac{1}{30} \)

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{4!}{6!} \)
\( \frac{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{6 \times 5} \)
\( \frac{1}{30} \)


3

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 6 hours at an average speed of 55 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
90 miles
330 miles
70 miles
50 miles

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 55mph \times 6h \)
330 miles


4

How many hours does it take a car to travel 225 miles at an average speed of 25 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
9 hours
2 hours
8 hours
4 hours

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{225mi}{25mph} \)
9 hours


5

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{16}{16}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{2}{5}\)
1\(\frac{4}{5}\)
1
\(\frac{2}{5}\)

Solution

To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:

\( \sqrt{\frac{16}{16}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{16}}{\sqrt{16}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{4^2}}{\sqrt{4^2}} \)
