1

What is the least common multiple of 2 and 10?

72% Answer Correctly
10
20
8
12

Solution

The first few multiples of 2 are [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20] and the first few multiples of 10 are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50] making 10 the smallest multiple 2 and 10 have in common.


2

Simplify \( \sqrt{175} \)

62% Answer Correctly
3\( \sqrt{7} \)
5\( \sqrt{7} \)
9\( \sqrt{7} \)
6\( \sqrt{7} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{175} \)
\( \sqrt{25 \times 7} \)
\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 7} \)
5\( \sqrt{7} \)


3

How many 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 15 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
5
7
4
8

Solution

To fill a 15 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 7\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{7\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}}{1\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 5


4

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
13
11
12
15

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 2

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 + 2
a6 = 9 + 2
a6 = 11


5

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 45% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

50% Answer Correctly
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
35%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

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 45% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{45\text{%}}{2} \) = 22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
