1

Which of the following is not a prime number?

65% Answer Correctly

2

A triathlon course includes a 200m swim, a 20.1km bike ride, and a 15.0km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
47.7km
47.6km
35.3km
39.7km

Solution

To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 200 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.2km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.2km + 20.1km + 15.0km
total distance = 35.3km


3

Which of the following is not an integer?

77% Answer Correctly

-1

0

\({1 \over 2}\)

1


Solution

An integer is any whole number, including zero. An integer can be either positive or negative. Examples include -77, -1, 0, 55, 119.


4

What is \( \frac{2}{7} \) x \( \frac{1}{8} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{21}\)
\(\frac{2}{7}\)
\(\frac{4}{15}\)
\(\frac{1}{28}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{2}{7} \) x \( \frac{1}{8} \) = \( \frac{2 x 1}{7 x 8} \) = \( \frac{2}{56} \) = \(\frac{1}{28}\)


5

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

70% Answer Correctly

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({2 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)


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.
