1

How many 14-passenger vans will it take to drive all 82 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
6 vans
15 vans
9 vans
8 vans

Solution

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

vans = \( \frac{82}{14} \) = 5\(\frac{6}{7}\)

So, it will take 5 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 6 vans.

Solution

There are 3 5-passenger taxis available so that's 3 x 5 = 15 total seats. There are 17 people needing transportation leaving 17 - 15 = 2 who will have to find other transportation.


3

4

What is \( \frac{2}{9} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{5} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{5}{18}\)
\(\frac{1}{10}\)
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1\(\frac{1}{9}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{2}{9} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{5} \) = \( \frac{2}{9} \) x \( \frac{5}{4} \)

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

\( \frac{2}{9} \) x \( \frac{5}{4} \) = \( \frac{2 x 5}{9 x 4} \) = \( \frac{10}{36} \) = \(\frac{5}{18}\)


5

What is the greatest common factor of 64 and 28?

77% Answer Correctly
27
4
6
8

Solution

The factors of 64 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64] and the factors of 28 are [1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 the greatest factor 64 and 28 have in common.
