1

Which of the following is not a prime number?

65% Answer Correctly

5

7

9

2


Solution

A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no factors other than 1 and itself. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.


2

Simplify \( \sqrt{20} \)

62% Answer Correctly
3\( \sqrt{10} \)
4\( \sqrt{10} \)
2\( \sqrt{5} \)
9\( \sqrt{5} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{20} \)
\( \sqrt{4 \times 5} \)
\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 5} \)
2\( \sqrt{5} \)


3

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

70% Answer Correctly

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({2 \over 5} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.


4

A triathlon course includes a 100m swim, a 40.2km bike ride, and a 11.2km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
40.6km
51.5km
35.6km
52.5km

Solution

To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 100 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.1km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.1km + 40.2km + 11.2km
total distance = 51.5km


5

Find the average of the following numbers: 16, 12, 17, 11.

74% Answer Correctly
14
15
17
19

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{16 + 12 + 17 + 11}{4} \) = \( \frac{56}{4} \) = 14
