68% Answer Correctly
12
15
13
35

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72.


2

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

59% Answer Correctly

PEDMAS

associative

distributive

commutative


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.


3

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
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
20%
30%

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

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 15% off." If Frank buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $23, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$25.30
$28.75
$42.55
$19.55

Solution

By buying two shirts, Frank will save $23 x \( \frac{15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$23 x 15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$345}{100} \) = $3.45 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$23.00 + ($23.00 - $3.45)
$23.00 + $19.55
$42.55

If a car travels 240 miles in 4 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
60 mph
35 mph
75 mph
55 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{240mi}{4h} \)
60 mph
