Which of the following is not a prime number?
5 |
|
2 |
|
9 |
|
7 |
A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no factors other than 1 and itself. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.
What is \( \frac{7}{9} \) + \( \frac{5}{15} \)?
| 1\(\frac{1}{9}\) | |
| 1 \( \frac{8}{45} \) | |
| 1 \( \frac{1}{45} \) | |
| 2 \( \frac{9}{45} \) |
To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 9 are [9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90] and the first few multiples of 15 are [15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [45, 90] making 45 the smallest multiple 9 and 15 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{7 x 5}{9 x 5} \) + \( \frac{5 x 3}{15 x 3} \)
\( \frac{35}{45} \) + \( \frac{15}{45} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:
\( \frac{35 + 15}{45} \) = \( \frac{50}{45} \) = 1\(\frac{1}{9}\)
What is \( \frac{2}{9} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{6} \)?
| \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| \(\frac{16}{35}\) | |
| \(\frac{2}{27}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{3}\) |
To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:
\( \frac{2}{9} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{6} \) = \( \frac{2}{9} \) x \( \frac{6}{4} \)
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:
\( \frac{2}{9} \) x \( \frac{6}{4} \) = \( \frac{2 x 6}{9 x 4} \) = \( \frac{12}{36} \) = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
What is the least common multiple of 9 and 15?
| 82 | |
| 45 | |
| 75 | |
| 11 |
The first few multiples of 9 are [9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90] and the first few multiples of 15 are [15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [45, 90] making 45 the smallest multiple 9 and 15 have in common.
In a class of 35 students, 14 are taking German and 11 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 3 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?
| 13 | |
| 19 | |
| 17 | |
| 12 |
The number of students taking German or Spanish is 14 + 11 = 25. Of that group of 25, 3 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 25 - 3 = 22 who are taking at least one language. 35 - 22 = 13 students who are not taking either language.
