What is the greatest common factor of 40 and 44?

77% Answer Correctly
20
14
4
29

Solution

The factors of 40 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40] and the factors of 44 are [1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 the greatest factor 40 and 44 have in common.


2

What is 5\( \sqrt{4} \) x 6\( \sqrt{8} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
30\( \sqrt{8} \)
11\( \sqrt{8} \)
30\( \sqrt{4} \)
120\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

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

5\( \sqrt{4} \) x 6\( \sqrt{8} \)
(5 x 6)\( \sqrt{4 \times 8} \)
30\( \sqrt{32} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

30\( \sqrt{32} \)
30\( \sqrt{2 \times 16} \)
30\( \sqrt{2 \times 4^2} \)
(30)(4)\( \sqrt{2} \)
120\( \sqrt{2} \)


3

Frank loaned Monty $1,200 at an annual interest rate of 1%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$45
$48
$88
$12

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 $1,200
i = 0.01 x $1,200
i = $12


4

Alex loaned Christine $100 at an annual interest rate of 2%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$101
$108
$104
$102

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 $100
i = 0.02 x $100

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

total = $100 + $2
total = $102


5

How many hours does it take a car to travel 225 miles at an average speed of 25 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
7 hours
9 hours
1 hour
6 hours

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 time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{225mi}{25mph} \)
9 hours
