1

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{16}{36}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{3}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2
1\(\frac{1}{4}\)

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:

\( \sqrt{\frac{16}{36}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{16}}{\sqrt{36}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{4^2}}{\sqrt{6^2}} \)
\(\frac{2}{3}\)


2

How many 2 gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 12 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
3
3
4
6

Solution

To fill a 12 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 6 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2 gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{6 \text{ gallons}}{2 \text{ gallons}} \) = 3


3

The __________ is the greatest factor that divides two integers.

67% Answer Correctly

greatest common multiple

greatest common factor

least common multiple


Solution

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


4

Solve for \( \frac{3!}{4!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{336} \)
336
\( \frac{1}{120} \)
\( \frac{1}{4} \)

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:

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


5

How many hours does it take a car to travel 30 miles at an average speed of 30 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
7 hours
8 hours
5 hours
1 hour

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 time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{30mi}{30mph} \)
1 hour
