(z2)3
z(2 * 3)
z6


2

What is the least common multiple of 6 and 14?

72% Answer Correctly
66
49
42
53

Solution

The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 14 are [14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98]. The first few multiples they share are [42, 84] making 42 the smallest multiple 6 and 14 have in common.


3

What is \( \frac{14\sqrt{36}}{7\sqrt{9}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
4 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{4} \)
\(\frac{1}{4}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{14\sqrt{36}}{7\sqrt{9}} \)
\( \frac{14}{7} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{36}{9}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{4} \)


4

What is \( \frac{1}{8} \) ÷ \( \frac{2}{6} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{3}{8}\)
\(\frac{2}{27}\)
\(\frac{8}{49}\)
\(\frac{1}{42}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{1}{8} \) ÷ \( \frac{2}{6} \) = \( \frac{1}{8} \) x \( \frac{6}{2} \)

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

\( \frac{1}{8} \) x \( \frac{6}{2} \) = \( \frac{1 x 6}{8 x 2} \) = \( \frac{6}{16} \) = \(\frac{3}{8}\)


5

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 45% off." If Alex buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $12, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$3.00
$5.40
$4.20
$1.80

Solution

By buying two shirts, Alex will save $12 x \( \frac{45}{100} \) = \( \frac{$12 x 45}{100} \) = \( \frac{$540}{100} \) = $5.40 on the second shirt.
