Simplify \( \frac{20}{60} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{3} \)
\( \frac{5}{8} \)
\( \frac{6}{17} \)
\( \frac{4}{7} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 20 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20] and the factors of 60 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60]. They share 6 factors [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20] making 20 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{20}{60} \) = \( \frac{\frac{20}{20}}{\frac{60}{20}} \) = \( \frac{1}{3} \)


2

What is 8c2 x 3c3?

75% Answer Correctly
24c
24c-1
24c5
11c5

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

8c2 x 3c3
(8 x 3)c(2 + 3)
24c5


3

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 65% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
25%
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 65% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{65\text{%}}{2} \) = 32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


4

What is \( \frac{3}{6} \) x \( \frac{2}{8} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{4}{9}\)
\(\frac{1}{8}\)
\(\frac{3}{4}\)
\(\frac{2}{49}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{3}{6} \) x \( \frac{2}{8} \) = \( \frac{3 x 2}{6 x 8} \) = \( \frac{6}{48} \) = \(\frac{1}{8}\)


5

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

69% Answer Correctly
45
52
46
38

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
