1

What is \( \frac{2}{3} \) + \( \frac{6}{11} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{9} \)
1\(\frac{2}{9}\)
1 \( \frac{6}{10} \)
1 \( \frac{8}{33} \)

Solution

To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 3 are [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30] and the first few multiples of 11 are [11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99]. The first few multiples they share are [33, 66, 99] making 33 the smallest multiple 3 and 11 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{2 x 11}{3 x 11} \) + \( \frac{6 x 3}{11 x 3} \)

\( \frac{22}{33} \) + \( \frac{18}{33} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:

\( \frac{22 + 18}{33} \) = \( \frac{40}{33} \) = 1\(\frac{2}{9}\)


2

In a class of 29 students, 14 are taking German and 10 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 3 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
26
12
20
8

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 14 + 10 = 24. Of that group of 24, 3 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 24 - 3 = 21 who are taking at least one language. 29 - 21 = 8 students who are not taking either language.


3

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 112 pounds of food in 8 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 196 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
2
6
11
10

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 112 pounds of food in 8 days that's \( \frac{112}{8} \) = 14 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 196 - 112 = 84 more pounds of food to reach 196 pounds total. At 14 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{84}{14} \) = 6 more days.


4

Simplify \( \frac{36}{44} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{7}{17} \)
\( \frac{4}{15} \)
\( \frac{9}{11} \)
\( \frac{7}{16} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 36 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36] and the factors of 44 are [1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{36}{44} \) = \( \frac{\frac{36}{4}}{\frac{44}{4}} \) = \( \frac{9}{11} \)


5

If a car travels 70 miles in 2 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
35 mph
60 mph
65 mph
70 mph

Solution

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

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{70mi}{2h} \)
35 mph
