1

Find the average of the following numbers: 16, 12, 16, 12.

75% Answer Correctly
19
16
14
11

Solution

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

\( \frac{16 + 12 + 16 + 12}{4} \) = \( \frac{56}{4} \) = 14


2

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

56% Answer Correctly

least common multiple

greatest common factor

absolute value

least common factor


Solution

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


3

How many 11-passenger vans will it take to drive all 89 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
9 vans
11 vans
6 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 = \( \frac{89}{11} \) = 8\(\frac{1}{11}\)

So, it will take 8 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 9 vans.


4

What is \( \frac{27\sqrt{15}}{9\sqrt{5}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
3 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \)
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{3} \)
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{27\sqrt{15}}{9\sqrt{5}} \)
\( \frac{27}{9} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{15}{5}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{3} \)


5

What is \( \frac{-4z^5}{6z^3} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{2}{3}\)z8
-\(\frac{2}{3}\)z1\(\frac{2}{3}\)
-\(\frac{2}{3}\)z-2
-\(\frac{2}{3}\)z2

Solution

To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

\( \frac{-4z^5}{6z^3} \)
\( \frac{-4}{6} \) z(5 - 3)
-\(\frac{2}{3}\)z2
