1

Which of these numbers is a factor of 20?

68% Answer Correctly
19
1
3
13

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 the distance in miles of a trip that takes 5 hours at an average speed of 55 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
275 miles
55 miles
60 miles
135 miles

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 distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 55mph \times 5h \)
275 miles

In a class of 15 students, 8 are taking German and 5 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 3 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
15
12
14
5

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 8 + 5 = 13. Of that group of 13, 3 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 13 - 3 = 10 who are taking at least one language. 15 - 10 = 5 students who are not taking either language.

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 35% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

50% Answer Correctly
20%
25%
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 35% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{35\text{%}}{2} \) = 17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
