1

What is the greatest common factor of 40 and 44?

77% Answer Correctly
4
13
37
21

Solution

The factors of 40 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40] and the factors of 44 are [1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 the greatest factor 40 and 44 have in common.


2

What is \( \frac{9}{6} \) + \( \frac{5}{10} \)?

59% Answer Correctly
1 \( \frac{6}{10} \)
\( \frac{1}{10} \)
2
2 \( \frac{5}{12} \)

Solution

To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 10 are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [30, 60, 90] making 30 the smallest multiple 6 and 10 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{9 x 5}{6 x 5} \) + \( \frac{5 x 3}{10 x 3} \)

\( \frac{45}{30} \) + \( \frac{15}{30} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:

\( \frac{45 + 15}{30} \) = \( \frac{60}{30} \) = 2


3

What is \( \frac{1}{9} \) x \( \frac{1}{7} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{16}\)
\(\frac{1}{63}\)
\(\frac{2}{21}\)
\(\frac{3}{16}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{1}{9} \) x \( \frac{1}{7} \) = \( \frac{1 x 1}{9 x 7} \) = \( \frac{1}{63} \) = \(\frac{1}{63}\)

19 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 4 4-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?

75% Answer Correctly
7
9
6
3

Solution

There are 4 4-passenger taxis available so that's 4 x 4 = 16 total seats. There are 19 people needing transportation leaving 19 - 16 = 3 who will have to find other transportation.


5

In a class of 29 students, 11 are taking German and 6 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 2 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
13
12
24
14

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 11 + 6 = 17. Of that group of 17, 2 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 17 - 2 = 15 who are taking at least one language. 29 - 15 = 14 students who are not taking either language.
