Which of these numbers is a factor of 72?

69% Answer Correctly
50
73
76
4

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72.


2

What is 2\( \sqrt{8} \) x 5\( \sqrt{2} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
10\( \sqrt{10} \)
7\( \sqrt{8} \)
10\( \sqrt{2} \)
40

Solution

To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:

2\( \sqrt{8} \) x 5\( \sqrt{2} \)
(2 x 5)\( \sqrt{8 \times 2} \)
10\( \sqrt{16} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

10\( \sqrt{16} \)
10\( \sqrt{4^2} \)
(10)(4)
40

The total water usage for a city is 35,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 29% is for personal use and 42% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
11,900
6,000
1,800
4,550

Solution

42% of the water consumption is industrial use and 29% is personal use so (42% - 29%) = 13% more water is used for industrial purposes. 35,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{13}{100} \) x 35,000 gallons = 4,550 gallons.


4

Simplify \( \frac{20}{68} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{10}{13} \)
\( \frac{1}{4} \)
\( \frac{7}{18} \)
\( \frac{5}{17} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 20 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20] and the factors of 68 are [1, 2, 4, 17, 34, 68]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{20}{68} \) = \( \frac{\frac{20}{4}}{\frac{68}{4}} \) = \( \frac{5}{17} \)


5

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 2:1 and all 34,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

49% Answer Correctly
36,800
35,833
22,667
24,000

Solution

A ratio of 2:1 means that there are 2 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 3 fans, 2 are home fans and \( \frac{2}{3} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

34,000 fans x \( \frac{2}{3} \) = \( \frac{68000}{3} \) = 22,667 fans.
