1

Which of the following is not an integer?

77% Answer Correctly

1

-1

0

\({1 \over 2}\)


Solution

An integer is any whole number, including zero. An integer can be either positive or negative. Examples include -77, -1, 0, 55, 119.


2

What is \( \frac{2}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{3}{8} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{15}\)
5\(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{8}{45}\)
\(\frac{1}{3}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{2}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{3}{8} \) = \( \frac{2}{5} \) x \( \frac{8}{3} \)

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

\( \frac{2}{5} \) x \( \frac{8}{3} \) = \( \frac{2 x 8}{5 x 3} \) = \( \frac{16}{15} \) = 1\(\frac{1}{15}\)


3

Which of the following is not a prime number?

64% Answer Correctly

5

2

9

7


Solution

A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no factors other than 1 and itself. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.


4

Simplify \( \frac{32}{72} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{7}{13} \)
\( \frac{10}{13} \)
\( \frac{4}{9} \)
\( \frac{6}{19} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 32 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32] 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 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{32}{72} \) = \( \frac{\frac{32}{8}}{\frac{72}{8}} \) = \( \frac{4}{9} \)


5

Solve for \( \frac{2!}{6!} \)

66% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{360} \)
20
\( \frac{1}{4} \)
\( \frac{1}{5} \)

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:

\( \frac{2!}{6!} \)
\( \frac{2 \times 1}{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3} \)
\( \frac{1}{360} \)
