Which of these numbers is a factor of 48?
| 31 | |
| 48 | |
| 26 | |
| 40 |
The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 48 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48.
The __________ is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.

The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.
Simplify \( \frac{20}{68} \).
| \( \frac{1}{2} \) | |
| \( \frac{5}{12} \) | |
| \( \frac{5}{17} \) | |
| \( \frac{5}{19} \) |
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 68 are [1, 2, 4, 17, 34, 68]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).
Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:
\( \frac{20}{68} \) = \( \frac{\frac{20}{4}}{\frac{68}{4}} \) = \( \frac{5}{17} \)
What is \( \frac{2}{7} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{5} \)?
| \(\frac{12}{49}\) | |
| \(\frac{4}{25}\) | |
| \(\frac{5}{14}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{5}\) |
To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:
\( \frac{2}{7} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{5} \) = \( \frac{2}{7} \) x \( \frac{5}{4} \)
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:
\( \frac{2}{7} \) x \( \frac{5}{4} \) = \( \frac{2 x 5}{7 x 4} \) = \( \frac{10}{28} \) = \(\frac{5}{14}\)
How many 7-passenger vans will it take to drive all 67 members of the football team to an away game?
| 9 vans | |
| 13 vans | |
| 11 vans | |
| 10 vans |
Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:
vans = \( \frac{67}{7} \) = 9\(\frac{4}{7}\)
So, it will take 9 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 10 vans.
