What is the greatest common factor of 32 and 32?

77% Answer Correctly
32
2
10
9

Solution

The factors of 32 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32] and the factors of 32 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32]. They share 6 factors [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32] making 32 the greatest factor 32 and 32 have in common.


2

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 65% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
25%
20%

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 65% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{65\text{%}}{2} \) = 32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


3

Ezra loaned Monica $500 at an annual interest rate of 5%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$530
$505
$525
$540

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $500
i = 0.05 x $500

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $500 + $25
total = $525


4

What is \( \frac{3}{9} \) x \( \frac{3}{9} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
1
\(\frac{1}{7}\)
\(\frac{1}{14}\)
\(\frac{1}{9}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{3}{9} \) x \( \frac{3}{9} \) = \( \frac{3 x 3}{9 x 9} \) = \( \frac{9}{81} \) = \(\frac{1}{9}\)


5

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{9}{9}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
1
\(\frac{2}{3}\)
1\(\frac{2}{3}\)
2\(\frac{1}{4}\)

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:

\( \sqrt{\frac{9}{9}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{9}}{\sqrt{9}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{3^2}}{\sqrt{3^2}} \)
