1

The __________ is the greatest factor that divides two integers.

67% Answer Correctly

greatest common multiple

greatest common factor

least common multiple

absolute value


Solution

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that divides two integers.


2

What is \( \frac{8\sqrt{21}}{4\sqrt{7}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{3} \)
2 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{8\sqrt{21}}{4\sqrt{7}} \)
\( \frac{8}{4} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{21}{7}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{3} \)


3

How many hours does it take a car to travel 175 miles at an average speed of 35 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
5 hours
3 hours
7 hours
1 hour

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{175mi}{35mph} \)
5 hours


4

Simplify \( \sqrt{18} \)

62% Answer Correctly
3\( \sqrt{2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
6\( \sqrt{4} \)
9\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{18} \)
\( \sqrt{9 \times 2} \)
\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 2} \)
3\( \sqrt{2} \)


5

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
11
13
8
16

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 3
a6 = 13 + 3
a6 = 16
