1

4! = ?

84% Answer Correctly

4 x 3

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

3 x 2 x 1


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.


2

Simplify \( \frac{20}{68} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{5}{8} \)
\( \frac{9}{20} \)
\( \frac{8}{17} \)
\( \frac{5}{17} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 20 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20] and the factors of 68 are [1, 2, 4, 17, 34, 68]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{20}{68} \) = \( \frac{\frac{20}{4}}{\frac{68}{4}} \) = \( \frac{5}{17} \)


3

Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

b1 = 1

all of these are false

b0 = 1

b1 = b


Solution

A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).


4

What is the least common multiple of 8 and 12?

72% Answer Correctly
69
1
85
24

Solution

The first few multiples of 8 are [8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80] and the first few multiples of 12 are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96]. The first few multiples they share are [24, 48, 72, 96] making 24 the smallest multiple 8 and 12 have in common.


5

Find the average of the following numbers: 9, 7, 12, 4.

74% Answer Correctly
8
4
3
6

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{9 + 7 + 12 + 4}{4} \) = \( \frac{32}{4} \) = 8
