What is the greatest common factor of 80 and 72?

77% Answer Correctly
44
24
11
8

Solution

The factors of 80 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80] and the factors of 72 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72]. They share 4 factors [1, 2, 4, 8] making 8 the greatest factor 80 and 72 have in common.


2

3

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 2 hours at an average speed of 30 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
50 miles
300 miles
60 miles
200 miles

Solution

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

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 30mph \times 2h \)
60 miles


4

Convert a-2 to remove the negative exponent.

68% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{a^2} \)
\( \frac{-1}{a^{-2}} \)
\( \frac{-2}{-a} \)
\( \frac{-2}{a} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.


5

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{9}{4}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{7}{8}\)
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1\(\frac{2}{5}\)
\(\frac{5}{9}\)

Solution

To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:

\( \sqrt{\frac{9}{4}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{9}}{\sqrt{4}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{3^2}}{\sqrt{2^2}} \)
\( \frac{3}{2} \)
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
