What is the least common multiple of 8 and 12?

72% Answer Correctly
62
24
90
60

Solution

The first few multiples of 8 are [8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80] and the first few multiples of 12 are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96]. The first few multiples they share are [24, 48, 72, 96] making 24 the smallest multiple 8 and 12 have in common.

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
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
35%
25%
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\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?

55% Answer Correctly

distributive property for multiplication

commutative property for multiplication

commutative property for division

distributive property for division


Solution

The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 5% off." If Damon buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $26, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$6.50
$5.20
$1.30
$7.80

Solution

By buying two shirts, Damon will save $26 x \( \frac{5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$26 x 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$130}{100} \) = $1.30 on the second shirt.
