If there were a total of 50 raffle tickets sold and you bought 2 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
17%
5%
7%
6%

Solution

You have 2 out of the total of 50 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{2}{50} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{2 \times 100}{50} \) = \( \frac{200}{50} \) = 5% chance to win the raffle.


2

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

70% Answer Correctly

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({2 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.


3

What is the least common multiple of 8 and 12?

72% Answer Correctly
11
24
34
38

Solution

The first few multiples of 8 are [8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80] and the first few multiples of 12 are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96]. The first few multiples they share are [24, 48, 72, 96] making 24 the smallest multiple 8 and 12 have in common.


4

What is the greatest common factor of 24 and 64?

77% Answer Correctly
2
11
8
14

Solution

The factors of 24 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24] and the factors of 64 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64]. They share 4 factors [1, 2, 4, 8] making 8 the greatest factor 24 and 64 have in common.


5

What is \( \frac{10\sqrt{49}}{2\sqrt{7}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
5 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)
\(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{5} \)
5 \( \sqrt{7} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{10\sqrt{49}}{2\sqrt{7}} \)
\( \frac{10}{2} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{49}{7}} \)
5 \( \sqrt{7} \)
