Simplify \( \frac{20}{52} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{5}{13} \)
\( \frac{7}{17} \)
\( \frac{6}{17} \)
\( \frac{1}{3} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 20 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20] and the factors of 52 are [1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{20}{52} \) = \( \frac{\frac{20}{4}}{\frac{52}{4}} \) = \( \frac{5}{13} \)


2

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 1 hour at an average speed of 65 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
65 miles
90 miles
120 miles
420 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 = \( 65mph \times 1h \)
65 miles


3

The __________ is the greatest factor that divides two integers.

67% Answer Correctly

least common multiple

greatest common factor

absolute value

greatest common multiple


Solution

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


4

What is \( \frac{9}{6} \) - \( \frac{5}{10} \)?

61% Answer Correctly
1 \( \frac{3}{30} \)
2 \( \frac{5}{30} \)
\( \frac{3}{30} \)
1

Solution

To subtract these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 10 are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [30, 60, 90] making 30 the smallest multiple 6 and 10 share.

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

\( \frac{9 x 5}{6 x 5} \) - \( \frac{5 x 3}{10 x 3} \)

\( \frac{45}{30} \) - \( \frac{15}{30} \)

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

\( \frac{45 - 15}{30} \) = \( \frac{30}{30} \) = 1


5

Which of these numbers is a factor of 20?

69% Answer Correctly
13
5
15
10

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20.
