What is the least common multiple of 3 and 7?

72% Answer Correctly
8
20
21
2

Solution

The first few multiples of 3 are [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30] and the first few multiples of 7 are [7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70]. The first few multiples they share are [21, 42, 63, 84] making 21 the smallest multiple 3 and 7 have in common.

Frank loaned Latoya $1,000 at an annual interest rate of 8%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$1,080
$1,010
$1,040
$1,050

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 $1,000
i = 0.08 x $1,000

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $1,000 + $80
total = $1,080

Simplify \( \frac{28}{44} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{7}{11} \)
\( \frac{9}{11} \)
\( \frac{5}{17} \)
\( \frac{3}{5} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 28 are [1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28] and the factors of 44 are [1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{28}{44} \) = \( \frac{\frac{28}{4}}{\frac{44}{4}} \) = \( \frac{7}{11} \)

If there were a total of 250 raffle tickets sold and you bought 17 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
16%
9%
11%
7%

Solution

You have 17 out of the total of 250 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{17}{250} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{17 \times 100}{250} \) = \( \frac{1700}{250} \) = 7% chance to win the raffle.


5

How many hours does it take a car to travel 40 miles at an average speed of 20 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
5 hours
2 hours
9 hours
1 hour

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 = \( \frac{40mi}{20mph} \)
2 hours
