1

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?

50% Answer Correctly
35%
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

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\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


2

What is \( \frac{-1c^9}{9c^4} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{1}{9}\)c36
-\(\frac{1}{9}\)c5
-9c5
-9c-5

Solution

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

\( \frac{-c^9}{9c^4} \)
\( \frac{-1}{9} \) c(9 - 4)
-\(\frac{1}{9}\)c5


3

What is \( \frac{4}{6} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{8} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{10}\)
\(\frac{1}{15}\)
\(\frac{2}{15}\)
1\(\frac{1}{3}\)

Solution

To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:

\( \frac{4}{6} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{8} \) = \( \frac{4}{6} \) x \( \frac{8}{4} \)

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

\( \frac{4}{6} \) x \( \frac{8}{4} \) = \( \frac{4 x 8}{6 x 4} \) = \( \frac{32}{24} \) = 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)


4

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

70% Answer Correctly

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({2 \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)


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.


5

The __________ is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.

56% Answer Correctly

least common multiple

greatest common factor

absolute value

least common factor


Solution

The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.
