What is the least common multiple of 6 and 14?

72% Answer Correctly
47
11
61
42

Solution

The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 14 are [14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98]. The first few multiples they share are [42, 84] making 42 the smallest multiple 6 and 14 have in common.


2

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{9}{64}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{2}{3}\)
\(\frac{1}{3}\)
1\(\frac{3}{4}\)
\(\frac{3}{8}\)

Solution

To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:

\( \sqrt{\frac{9}{64}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{9}}{\sqrt{64}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{3^2}}{\sqrt{8^2}} \)
\(\frac{3}{8}\)


3

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 8 hours at an average speed of 55 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
630 miles
150 miles
440 miles
240 miles

Solution

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

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 55mph \times 8h \)
440 miles


4

The __________ is the greatest factor that divides two integers.

67% Answer Correctly

greatest common factor

greatest common multiple

absolute value

least common multiple


Solution

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


5

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

70% Answer Correctly

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({2 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)


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.
