1

4! = ?

85% Answer Correctly

3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 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

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)


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.


3

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

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{7}{17} \)
\( \frac{1}{3} \)
\( \frac{5}{17} \)
\( \frac{8}{19} \)

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:

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


4

What is \( \frac{4}{6} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{7} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{6}\)
\(\frac{1}{15}\)
\(\frac{12}{35}\)
\(\frac{1}{20}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{4}{6} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{7} \) = \( \frac{4}{6} \) x \( \frac{7}{4} \)

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

\( \frac{4}{6} \) x \( \frac{7}{4} \) = \( \frac{4 x 7}{6 x 4} \) = \( \frac{28}{24} \) = 1\(\frac{1}{6}\)


5

What is \( \frac{12\sqrt{20}}{6\sqrt{4}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
5 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{5} \)
2 \( \sqrt{5} \)
\(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{12\sqrt{20}}{6\sqrt{4}} \)
\( \frac{12}{6} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{20}{4}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{5} \)
