67% Answer Correctly
9
210
120
4

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:

\( \frac{6!}{3!} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4}{1} \)
\( 6 \times 5 \times 4 \)
120


4

What is the least common multiple of 6 and 14?

73% Answer Correctly
40
42
58
55

Solution

The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 14 are [14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98]. The first few multiples they share are [42, 84] making 42 the smallest multiple 6 and 14 have in common.


5

What is \( \frac{2}{8} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{5} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
10
1\(\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\frac{2}{9}\)
\(\frac{16}{63}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{2}{8} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{5} \) = \( \frac{2}{8} \) x \( \frac{5}{1} \)

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

\( \frac{2}{8} \) x \( \frac{5}{1} \) = \( \frac{2 x 5}{8 x 1} \) = \( \frac{10}{8} \) = 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)
