Simplify \( \frac{32}{56} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{2} \)
\( \frac{9}{11} \)
\( \frac{4}{7} \)
\( \frac{5}{8} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 32 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32] and the factors of 56 are [1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56]. They share 4 factors [1, 2, 4, 8] making 8 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{32}{56} \) = \( \frac{\frac{32}{8}}{\frac{56}{8}} \) = \( \frac{4}{7} \)

A triathlon course includes a 300m swim, a 30.1km bike ride, and a 10.0km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
40.4km
62.3km
25.1km
33.6km

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 300 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.3km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.3km + 30.1km + 10.0km
total distance = 40.4km


3

4! = ?

85% Answer Correctly

3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3 x 2 x 1


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.


4

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
9
24
16
14

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 3
a6 = 13 + 3
a6 = 16


5

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 65% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
15%
35%
30%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 65% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{65\text{%}}{2} \) = 32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
