What is the greatest common factor of 40 and 20?

77% Answer Correctly
20
7
14
13

Solution

The factors of 40 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40] and the factors of 20 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20]. They share 6 factors [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20] making 20 the greatest factor 40 and 20 have in common.


2

How many hours does it take a car to travel 75 miles at an average speed of 75 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
4 hours
2 hours
1 hour
7 hours

Solution

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

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{75mi}{75mph} \)
1 hour


3

Roger loaned Ezra $200 at an annual interest rate of 7%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$8
$24
$14
$40

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $200
i = 0.07 x $200
i = $14


4

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
36
44
37
33

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 7

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 7
a6 = 29 + 7
a6 = 36


5

If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 24 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?

47% Answer Correctly
128 m2
8 m2
72 m2
32 m2

Solution

The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 24 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 24.

Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):

2w + 2h = 24
w + h = \( \frac{24}{2} \)
w + h = 12
w = 12 - h

From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:

w = 12 - 2w
3w = 12
w = \( \frac{12}{3} \)
w = 4

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 4) = 8 and the area = h x w = 4 x 8 = 32 m2
