Which of these numbers is a factor of 16?
| 8 | |
| 19 | |
| 16 | |
| 4 |
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.
How many 7-passenger vans will it take to drive all 30 members of the football team to an away game?
| 6 vans | |
| 5 vans | |
| 7 vans | |
| 3 vans |
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.
What is \( \frac{6}{6} \) + \( \frac{4}{8} \)?
| 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| 1 \( \frac{5}{8} \) | |
| 2 \( \frac{3}{7} \) | |
| 1 \( \frac{3}{7} \) |
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\(\frac{1}{2}\)
How many hours does it take a car to travel 20 miles at an average speed of 20 miles per hour?
| 6 hours | |
| 1 hour | |
| 4 hours | |
| 5 hours |
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
