1

What is \( \frac{4}{6} \) ÷ \( \frac{3}{9} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
2
\(\frac{1}{7}\)
\(\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\frac{1}{12}\)

Solution

To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:

\( \frac{4}{6} \) ÷ \( \frac{3}{9} \) = \( \frac{4}{6} \) x \( \frac{9}{3} \)

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

\( \frac{4}{6} \) x \( \frac{9}{3} \) = \( \frac{4 x 9}{6 x 3} \) = \( \frac{36}{18} \) = 2


2

The __________ is the greatest factor that divides two integers.

67% Answer Correctly

absolute value

least common multiple

greatest common factor

greatest common multiple


Solution

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that divides two integers.


3

A bread recipe calls for 2\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{1}{4}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups
\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups
2\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups
1\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (2\(\frac{3}{4}\) - \(\frac{1}{4}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{22}{8} \) - \( \frac{2}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{20}{8} \) cups
2\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups


4

What is \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{125} \) - \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{5} \)

39% Answer Correctly
28\( \sqrt{5} \)
0\( \sqrt{625} \)
0\( \sqrt{5} \)
49\( \sqrt{5} \)

Solution

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

7\( \sqrt{125} \) - 7\( \sqrt{5} \)
7\( \sqrt{25 \times 5} \) - 7\( \sqrt{5} \)
7\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 5} \) - 7\( \sqrt{5} \)
(7)(5)\( \sqrt{5} \) - 7\( \sqrt{5} \)
35\( \sqrt{5} \) - 7\( \sqrt{5} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:

35\( \sqrt{5} \) - 7\( \sqrt{5} \)
(35 - 7)\( \sqrt{5} \)
28\( \sqrt{5} \)


5

How many 15-passenger vans will it take to drive all 96 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
5 vans
7 vans
6 vans
3 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{96}{15} \) = 6\(\frac{2}{5}\)

So, it will take 6 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 7 vans.
