1

Which of the following is not a prime number?

65% Answer Correctly

2

7

9

5


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.


2

What is \( \frac{3}{2} \) + \( \frac{6}{6} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
2 \( \frac{3}{7} \)
2 \( \frac{5}{14} \)
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1 \( \frac{7}{16} \)

Solution

To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 2 are [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20] and the first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60]. The first few multiples they share are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30] making 6 the smallest multiple 2 and 6 share.

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

\( \frac{3 x 3}{2 x 3} \) + \( \frac{6 x 1}{6 x 1} \)

\( \frac{9}{6} \) + \( \frac{6}{6} \)

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

\( \frac{9 + 6}{6} \) = \( \frac{15}{6} \) = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)


3

What is the greatest common factor of 76 and 60?

77% Answer Correctly
9
17
32
4

Solution

The factors of 76 are [1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76] and the factors of 60 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 the greatest factor 76 and 60 have in common.


4

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 50% off." If Ezra buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $27, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$10.80
$4.05
$13.50
$9.45

Solution

By buying two shirts, Ezra will save $27 x \( \frac{50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$27 x 50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1350}{100} \) = $13.50 on the second shirt.


5

What is -7x5 x 6x5?

75% Answer Correctly
-42x25
-42x0
-42x10
-42x5

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

-7x5 x 6x5
(-7 x 6)x(5 + 5)
-42x10
