1

A bread recipe calls for 2\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{1}{2}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (2\(\frac{1}{8}\) - \(\frac{1}{2}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{17}{8} \) - \( \frac{4}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{13}{8} \) cups
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups


2

What is the least common multiple of 2 and 4?

72% Answer Correctly
8
6
4
3

Solution

The first few multiples of 2 are [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20] and the first few multiples of 4 are [4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40]. The first few multiples they share are [4, 8, 12, 16, 20] making 4 the smallest multiple 2 and 4 have in common.


3

Solve for \( \frac{5!}{4!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
56
336
5
42

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{5!}{4!} \)
\( \frac{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{5}{1} \)
5


4

The __________ is the greatest factor that divides two integers.

67% Answer Correctly

least common multiple

absolute value

greatest common multiple

greatest common factor


Solution

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


5

What is \( \frac{49\sqrt{24}}{7\sqrt{6}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
7 \( \sqrt{4} \)
\(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{4} \)
\(\frac{1}{4}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)
4 \( \sqrt{7} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{49\sqrt{24}}{7\sqrt{6}} \)
\( \frac{49}{7} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{24}{6}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{4} \)
