1

What is \( \frac{3}{7} \) x \( \frac{2}{5} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{6}{7}\)
\(\frac{6}{35}\)
\(\frac{1}{14}\)
1\(\frac{1}{5}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{3}{7} \) x \( \frac{2}{5} \) = \( \frac{3 x 2}{7 x 5} \) = \( \frac{6}{35} \) = \(\frac{6}{35}\)


2

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 45% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

50% Answer Correctly
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
20%
15%
25%

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 45% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{45\text{%}}{2} \) = 22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


3

What is 8c6 x 5c2?

75% Answer Correctly
40c2
40c8
13c12
40c12

Solution

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

8c6 x 5c2
(8 x 5)c(6 + 2)
40c8


4

Solve for \( \frac{4!}{6!} \)

66% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{3024} \)
\( \frac{1}{56} \)
\( \frac{1}{30} \)
\( \frac{1}{4} \)

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:

\( \frac{4!}{6!} \)
\( \frac{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{6 \times 5} \)
\( \frac{1}{30} \)


5

What is (a3)5?

79% Answer Correctly
a2
a-2
a15
3a5

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(a3)5
a(3 * 5)
a15
