1

What is \( \frac{2}{6} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{6} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{21}\)
\(\frac{4}{63}\)
\(\frac{2}{21}\)
2

Solution

To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:

\( \frac{2}{6} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{6} \) = \( \frac{2}{6} \) x \( \frac{6}{1} \)

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

\( \frac{2}{6} \) x \( \frac{6}{1} \) = \( \frac{2 x 6}{6 x 1} \) = \( \frac{12}{6} \) = 2


2

Which of the following is not a prime number?

65% Answer Correctly

2

7

5

9


Solution

A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no factors other than 1 and itself. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.


3

What is -6a2 x 2a4?

75% Answer Correctly
-12a6
-4a2
-4a6
-12a-2

Solution

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

-6a2 x 2a4
(-6 x 2)a(2 + 4)
-12a6


4

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 30% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
15%
30%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

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 30% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{30\text{%}}{2} \) = 15%


5

Solve for \( \frac{5!}{3!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
504
20
210
\( \frac{1}{3024} \)

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{5!}{3!} \)
\( \frac{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{5 \times 4}{1} \)
\( 5 \times 4 \)
