1

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 35% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

50% Answer Correctly
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
30%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 35% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{35\text{%}}{2} \) = 17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


2

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

56% Answer Correctly

least common multiple

absolute value

least common factor

greatest common factor


Solution

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


3

a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

commutative property for division

commutative property for multiplication

distributive property for multiplication

distributive property for division


Solution

The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.

What is \( \frac{3}{2} \) - \( \frac{6}{10} \)?

61% Answer Correctly
1 \( \frac{5}{10} \)
\(\frac{9}{10}\)
1 \( \frac{2}{10} \)
1 \( \frac{6}{10} \)

Solution

To subtract these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 2 are [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20] and the first few multiples of 10 are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50] making 10 the smallest multiple 2 and 10 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{3 x 5}{2 x 5} \) - \( \frac{6 x 1}{10 x 1} \)

\( \frac{15}{10} \) - \( \frac{6}{10} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can subtract them:

\( \frac{15 - 6}{10} \) = \( \frac{9}{10} \) = \(\frac{9}{10}\)
