1

Which of these numbers is a factor of 20?

68% Answer Correctly
7
4
6
21

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

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
15%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
30%
35%

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\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


3

What is \( 6 \)\( \sqrt{75} \) + \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

35% Answer Correctly
24\( \sqrt{25} \)
34\( \sqrt{3} \)
24\( \sqrt{75} \)
10\( \sqrt{75} \)

Solution

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

6\( \sqrt{75} \) + 4\( \sqrt{3} \)
6\( \sqrt{25 \times 3} \) + 4\( \sqrt{3} \)
6\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 3} \) + 4\( \sqrt{3} \)
(6)(5)\( \sqrt{3} \) + 4\( \sqrt{3} \)
30\( \sqrt{3} \) + 4\( \sqrt{3} \)

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

30\( \sqrt{3} \) + 4\( \sqrt{3} \)
(30 + 4)\( \sqrt{3} \)
34\( \sqrt{3} \)


4

Simplify \( \sqrt{175} \)

62% Answer Correctly
5\( \sqrt{7} \)
7\( \sqrt{14} \)
2\( \sqrt{7} \)
3\( \sqrt{14} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{175} \)
\( \sqrt{25 \times 7} \)
\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 7} \)
5\( \sqrt{7} \)


5

What is 2x5 - 6x5?

71% Answer Correctly
8x10
4x-5
-4x5
4x5

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so subtract the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

2x5 - 6x5
(2 - 6)x5
-4x5
