1

Which of these numbers is a factor of 16?

68% Answer Correctly
8
19
16
4

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.


2

How many 7-passenger vans will it take to drive all 30 members of the football team to an away game?

80% Answer Correctly
6 vans
5 vans
7 vans
3 vans

Solution

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

vans = \( \frac{30}{7} \) = 4\(\frac{2}{7}\)

So, it will take 4 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 5 vans.


3

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

59% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1 \( \frac{5}{8} \)
2 \( \frac{3}{7} \)
1 \( \frac{3}{7} \)

Solution

To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 8 are [8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80]. The first few multiples they share are [24, 48, 72, 96] making 24 the smallest multiple 6 and 8 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{6 x 4}{6 x 4} \) + \( \frac{4 x 3}{8 x 3} \)

\( \frac{24}{24} \) + \( \frac{12}{24} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:

\( \frac{24 + 12}{24} \) = \( \frac{36}{24} \) = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

How many hours does it take a car to travel 20 miles at an average speed of 20 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
6 hours
1 hour
4 hours
5 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 = \( \frac{20mi}{20mph} \)
1 hour


5

The __________ is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.

56% Answer Correctly

least common factor

greatest common factor

absolute value

least common multiple


Solution

The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.
