How many 2 gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 20 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
3
5
10
8

Solution

To fill a 20 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 10 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2 gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{10 \text{ gallons}}{2 \text{ gallons}} \) = 5

15
2
13
20

Solution

The factors of 40 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40] and the factors of 20 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20]. They share 6 factors [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20] making 20 the greatest factor 40 and 20 have in common.


3

A bread recipe calls for 1\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{1}{4}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups
1\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (1\(\frac{7}{8}\) - \(\frac{1}{4}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{15}{8} \) - \( \frac{2}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{13}{8} \) cups
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups


4

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({7 \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)

\({a \over 5} \)


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.


5

Which of the following is not a prime number?

65% Answer Correctly

9

5

7

2


Solution

A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no factors other than 1 and itself. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.
