1

What is \( \frac{3}{7} \) x \( \frac{3}{6} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{1}{6}\)
\(\frac{1}{42}\)
\(\frac{3}{14}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{3}{7} \) x \( \frac{3}{6} \) = \( \frac{3 x 3}{7 x 6} \) = \( \frac{9}{42} \) = \(\frac{3}{14}\)

13 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 2 5-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?

75% Answer Correctly
3
8
5
2

Solution

There are 2 5-passenger taxis available so that's 2 x 5 = 10 total seats. There are 13 people needing transportation leaving 13 - 10 = 3 who will have to find other transportation.


3

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 9, 17, 25, 33, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
32
34
41
37

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 8

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 8
a6 = 33 + 8
a6 = 41


4

Which of these numbers is a factor of 40?

69% Answer Correctly
36
12
10

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 40 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40.


5

A bread recipe calls for 3\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have 1\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
3\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups
3 cups
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (3\(\frac{3}{8}\) - 1\(\frac{3}{4}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{27}{8} \) - \( \frac{14}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{13}{8} \) cups
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
