What is the greatest common factor of 80 and 48?

77% Answer Correctly
24
17
32
16

Solution

The factors of 80 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80] and the factors of 48 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48]. They share 5 factors [1, 2, 4, 8, 16] making 16 the greatest factor 80 and 48 have in common.


2

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
11
9
20
5

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 2

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 + 2
a6 = 9 + 2
a6 = 11


3

A triathlon course includes a 300m swim, a 50.2km bike ride, and a 11.600000000000001km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
31.1km
65.1km
31.8km
62.1km

Solution

To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 300 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.3km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.3km + 50.2km + 11.600000000000001km
total distance = 62.1km


4

What is \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{45} \) + \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{5} \)

35% Answer Correctly
14\( \sqrt{9} \)
14\( \sqrt{5} \)
32\( \sqrt{5} \)
14\( \sqrt{45} \)

Solution

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

9\( \sqrt{45} \) + 5\( \sqrt{5} \)
9\( \sqrt{9 \times 5} \) + 5\( \sqrt{5} \)
9\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 5} \) + 5\( \sqrt{5} \)
(9)(3)\( \sqrt{5} \) + 5\( \sqrt{5} \)
27\( \sqrt{5} \) + 5\( \sqrt{5} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

27\( \sqrt{5} \) + 5\( \sqrt{5} \)
(27 + 5)\( \sqrt{5} \)
32\( \sqrt{5} \)


5

What is the least common multiple of 9 and 15?

72% Answer Correctly
129
33
45
20

Solution

The first few multiples of 9 are [9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90] and the first few multiples of 15 are [15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [45, 90] making 45 the smallest multiple 9 and 15 have in common.
