25
45
44

Solution

The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 8 are [8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80]. The first few multiples they share are [24, 48, 72, 96] making 24 the smallest multiple 6 and 8 have in common.

How many 7-passenger vans will it take to drive all 48 members of the football team to an away game?

80% Answer Correctly
13 vans
7 vans
15 vans
5 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{48}{7} \) = 6\(\frac{6}{7}\)

So, it will take 6 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 7 vans.

Solve for \( \frac{3!}{2!} \)

66% Answer Correctly
3
\( \frac{1}{3024} \)
6720
\( \frac{1}{30} \)

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:

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

If a car travels 90 miles in 2 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
45 mph
75 mph
65 mph
15 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{90mi}{2h} \)
45 mph


5

Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

b0 = 1

all of these are false

b1 = 1

b1 = b


Solution

A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).
