1

A factor is a positive __________ that divides evenly into a given number.

78% Answer Correctly

mixed number

fraction

integer

improper fraction


Solution

A factor is a positive integer that divides evenly into a given number. For example, the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.


2

What is \( \frac{3}{8} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{6} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{63}\)
\(\frac{9}{16}\)
\(\frac{3}{14}\)
\(\frac{1}{14}\)

Solution

To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:

\( \frac{3}{8} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{6} \) = \( \frac{3}{8} \) x \( \frac{6}{4} \)

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{3}{8} \) x \( \frac{6}{4} \) = \( \frac{3 x 6}{8 x 4} \) = \( \frac{18}{32} \) = \(\frac{9}{16}\)


3

Simplify \( \sqrt{125} \)

62% Answer Correctly
6\( \sqrt{10} \)
5\( \sqrt{5} \)
3\( \sqrt{5} \)
6\( \sqrt{5} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{125} \)
\( \sqrt{25 \times 5} \)
\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 5} \)
5\( \sqrt{5} \)


4

What is \( \frac{6\sqrt{15}}{2\sqrt{3}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
5 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{5} \)
3 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \)
\(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{6\sqrt{15}}{2\sqrt{3}} \)
\( \frac{6}{2} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{15}{3}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{5} \)


5

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 75% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

50% Answer Correctly
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
30%
15%
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

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 75% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{75\text{%}}{2} \) = 37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
