1

The __________ is the greatest factor that divides two integers.

67% Answer Correctly

greatest common factor

least common multiple

absolute value

greatest common multiple


Solution

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


2

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.


3

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

70% Answer Correctly

\({2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

4

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 $50, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$17.50
$22.50
$15.00
$25.00

Solution

By buying two shirts, Alex will save $50 x \( \frac{45}{100} \) = \( \frac{$50 x 45}{100} \) = \( \frac{$2250}{100} \) = $22.50 on the second shirt.


5

Solve for \( \frac{3!}{5!} \)

66% Answer Correctly
3024
6720
\( \frac{1}{20} \)
\( \frac{1}{840} \)

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{3!}{5!} \)
\( \frac{3 \times 2 \times 1}{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{5 \times 4} \)
\( \frac{1}{20} \)
