1

4! = ?

84% Answer Correctly

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.


2

The __________ is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.

56% Answer Correctly

least common multiple

absolute value

greatest common factor

least common factor


Solution

The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.


3

A machine in a factory has an error rate of 9 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 6 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 6 hours for maintenance.

How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?

49% Answer Correctly
98.3
193.2
136.5
86.5

Solution

The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:

\( \frac{9}{100} \) x 6 = \( \frac{9 \times 6}{100} \) = \( \frac{54}{100} \) = 0.54 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 6 - 0.54 = 5.46 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 6 = 18 hours yesterday so you would expect that 18 x 5.46 = 98.3 error free parts were produced yesterday.


4

Which of the following is not an integer?

77% Answer Correctly

-1

\({1 \over 2}\)

1

0


Solution

An integer is any whole number, including zero. An integer can be either positive or negative. Examples include -77, -1, 0, 55, 119.


5

What is \( \frac{8\sqrt{49}}{4\sqrt{7}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
2 \( \sqrt{7} \)
7 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{7} \)
\(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{8\sqrt{49}}{4\sqrt{7}} \)
\( \frac{8}{4} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{49}{7}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{7} \)
