1

Which of these numbers is a factor of 20?

68% Answer Correctly
13
4
11
91

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20.


2

What is \( \frac{25\sqrt{14}}{5\sqrt{7}} \)?

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

Solution

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

\( \frac{25\sqrt{14}}{5\sqrt{7}} \)
\( \frac{25}{5} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{14}{7}} \)
5 \( \sqrt{2} \)


3

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 5% off." If Ezra buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $11, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$10.45
$15.95
$21.45
$12.10

Solution

By buying two shirts, Ezra will save $11 x \( \frac{5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$11 x 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$55}{100} \) = $0.55 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$11.00 + ($11.00 - $0.55)
$11.00 + $10.45
$21.45


4

Solve for \( \frac{2!}{6!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{5} \)
\( \frac{1}{120} \)
\( \frac{1}{56} \)
\( \frac{1}{360} \)

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:

\( \frac{2!}{6!} \)
\( \frac{2 \times 1}{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3} \)
\( \frac{1}{360} \)


5

Roger loaned Monica $500 at an annual interest rate of 6%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$520
$505
$540
$530

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $500
i = 0.06 x $500

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $500 + $30
total = $530
