Solve for \( \frac{2!}{6!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{4} \)
504
\( \frac{1}{360} \)
8

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{2!}{6!} \)
\( \frac{2 \times 1}{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3} \)
\( \frac{1}{360} \)

On average, the center for a basketball team hits 25% of his shots while a guard on the same team hits 35% of his shots. If the guard takes 20 shots during a game, how many shots will the center have to take to score as many points as the guard assuming each shot is worth the same number of points?

28

15

Solution
If the guard hits 35% of his shots and takes 20 shots he'll make:

guard shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \) = 20 x \( \frac{35}{100} \) = \( \frac{35 x 20}{100} \) = \( \frac{700}{100} \) = 7 shots

The center makes 25% of his shots so he'll have to take:

shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \)
shots taken = \( \frac{\text{shots taken}}{\frac{\text{% made}}{100}} \)

to make as many shots as the guard. Plugging in values for the center gives us:

center shots taken = \( \frac{7}{\frac{25}{100}} \) = 7 x \( \frac{100}{25} \) = \( \frac{7 x 100}{25} \) = \( \frac{700}{25} \) = 28 shots

to make the same number of shots as the guard and thus score the same number of points.

In a class of 27 students, 10 are taking German and 15 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 8 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
10
26
15
17

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 10 + 15 = 25. Of that group of 25, 8 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 25 - 8 = 17 who are taking at least one language. 27 - 17 = 10 students who are not taking either language.


4

What is the greatest common factor of 76 and 68?

77% Answer Correctly
4
3
60
25

Solution

The factors of 76 are [1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76] and the factors of 68 are [1, 2, 4, 17, 34, 68]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 the greatest factor 76 and 68 have in common.


5

Find the average of the following numbers: 9, 5, 8, 6.

74% Answer Correctly
10
11
12
7

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{9 + 5 + 8 + 6}{4} \) = \( \frac{28}{4} \) = 7
