1

What is \( \frac{4}{6} \) x \( \frac{3}{5} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{10}\)
\(\frac{2}{7}\)
\(\frac{1}{42}\)
\(\frac{2}{5}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{4}{6} \) x \( \frac{3}{5} \) = \( \frac{4 x 3}{6 x 5} \) = \( \frac{12}{30} \) = \(\frac{2}{5}\)


2

Which of the following is not a prime number?

65% Answer Correctly

7

9

2

5


Solution

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.


3

Which of these numbers is a factor of 36?

69% Answer Correctly
31
18
9
39

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36.


4

What is \( \frac{7}{3} \) - \( \frac{6}{7} \)?

61% Answer Correctly
2 \( \frac{9}{18} \)
2 \( \frac{7}{21} \)
1\(\frac{10}{21}\)
1 \( \frac{6}{21} \)

Solution

To subtract these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. 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 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{7 x 7}{3 x 7} \) - \( \frac{6 x 3}{7 x 3} \)

\( \frac{49}{21} \) - \( \frac{18}{21} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can subtract them:

\( \frac{49 - 18}{21} \) = \( \frac{31}{21} \) = 1\(\frac{10}{21}\)


5

If a car travels 300 miles in 4 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
40 mph
50 mph
75 mph
60 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{300mi}{4h} \)
75 mph
