1

Which of the following is not a prime number?

64% Answer Correctly

5

9

2

7


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

In a class of 31 students, 13 are taking German and 14 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 2 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
30
21
31
6

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 13 + 14 = 27. Of that group of 27, 2 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 27 - 2 = 25 who are taking at least one language. 31 - 25 = 6 students who are not taking either language.


3

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{25}{4}} \)?

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

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:

\( \sqrt{\frac{25}{4}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{4}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{5^2}}{\sqrt{2^2}} \)
\( \frac{5}{2} \)
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

Simplify \( \sqrt{18} \)

62% Answer Correctly
3\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{4} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
7\( \sqrt{4} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{18} \)
\( \sqrt{9 \times 2} \)
\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 2} \)
3\( \sqrt{2} \)


5

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

59% Answer Correctly

PEDMAS

distributive

commutative

associative


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.
