What is the greatest common factor of 36 and 40?

77% Answer Correctly
4
9
21
17

Solution

The factors of 36 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36] and the factors of 40 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 the greatest factor 36 and 40 have in common.


2

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 60% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

50% Answer Correctly
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
30%
15%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

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 60% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{60\text{%}}{2} \) = 30%


3

What is \( \frac{1}{7} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{9} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{6}\)
\(\frac{2}{7}\)
9
1\(\frac{2}{7}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{1}{7} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{9} \) = \( \frac{1}{7} \) x \( \frac{9}{1} \)

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

\( \frac{1}{7} \) x \( \frac{9}{1} \) = \( \frac{1 x 9}{7 x 1} \) = \( \frac{9}{7} \) = 1\(\frac{2}{7}\)


4

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 10, 19, 31, __________ ?

68% Answer Correctly
46
54
53
39

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3(n - 1)

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 + 3(6 - 1)
a6 = 31 + 3(5)
a6 = 46


5
