75% Answer Correctly
2
6
1
3

Solution

There are 4 4-passenger taxis available so that's 4 x 4 = 16 total seats. There are 17 people needing transportation leaving 17 - 16 = 1 who will have to find other transportation.


2

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that divides two integers.


3

Which of these numbers is a factor of 64?

69% Answer Correctly
42
48
4
62

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 64 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64.


4

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 75% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
35%
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

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 75% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{75\text{%}}{2} \) = 37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


5

What is \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{112} \) - \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)

39% Answer Correctly
0\( \sqrt{7} \)
25\( \sqrt{7} \)
15\( \sqrt{7} \)
0\( \sqrt{112} \)

Solution

To subtract these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

5\( \sqrt{112} \) - 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
5\( \sqrt{16 \times 7} \) - 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
5\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 7} \) - 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
(5)(4)\( \sqrt{7} \) - 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
20\( \sqrt{7} \) - 5\( \sqrt{7} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:

20\( \sqrt{7} \) - 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
(20 - 5)\( \sqrt{7} \)
15\( \sqrt{7} \)
