  • 2. 

    If you want to figure out when something will happen again at the same time in the future...should you use GCF or LCM to figure it out?

    • GCF

    • LCM

    Correct Answer
    A. LCM
    Explanation
    To figure out when something will happen again at the same time in the future, you should use LCM (Least Common Multiple). LCM is the smallest multiple that two or more numbers have in common. It helps determine the next occurrence of an event happening simultaneously. On the other hand, GCF (Greatest Common Factor) is used to find the largest number that divides evenly into two or more numbers. While GCF is useful for other calculations, it is not applicable in this scenario.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    A __________ is a number that divides evenly into another number. 

    Correct Answer
    factor
    Factor
    Explanation
    A factor is a number that divides evenly into another number. Factors are the numbers that can be multiplied together to get a given number. For example, the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12 because they can divide 12 without leaving a remainder. The term "factor" is used in mathematics to describe the numbers that divide a given number evenly.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Is 7 a PRIME FACTOR of 84?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The number 7 is a prime factor of 84 because it is a prime number that divides 84 without leaving a remainder. When 84 is divided by 7, the quotient is 12, which is a whole number. Therefore, 7 is one of the prime factors that compose the number 84.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    The PRIME FACTORS of 18 are 2 and 3.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "The prime factors of 18 are 2 and 3" is false.
    The prime factorization of 18 is 2×3×32×3×3.
    Here's the breakdown:
    18 can be divided by 2, resulting in 2×92×9.
    Then, 9 can be divided by 3, resulting in 2×3×32×3×3.
    So, the prime factors of 18 are 2 and 3, but there are two 3s, not just one. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

    Rate this question:

    • 33, 29, 41, 3

    • 63, 71, 43, 81

    • 5, 23, 11, 37

    Correct Answer
    A. 5, 23, 11, 37
    Explanation
    The set of numbers 5, 23, 11, 37 are all prime numbers because they can only be divided evenly by 1 and themselves. Prime numbers are numbers that have no other factors except for 1 and themselves.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    What are the first three prime numbers?

    • 0, 1, 2

    • 1, 2, 3

    • 2, 3, 5

    Correct Answer
    A. 2, 3, 5
    Explanation
    The first three prime numbers are 2, 3, and 5. Prime numbers are numbers that are only divisible by 1 and themselves. 0 and 1 are not prime numbers because they have factors other than 1 and themselves. Therefore, the correct answer is 2, 3, 5.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    A Prime Number has only how many FACTORS:

    • 1

    • 2

    • >2

    Correct Answer
    A. 2
    Explanation
    A prime number has only two factors, which are 1 and the number itself. This means that it cannot be divided evenly by any other number except for those two. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    9 is a Prime Factor of 81.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "9 is a prime factor of 81" is false because 9 is not a prime number. A prime factor is a prime number that divides another number exactly without leaving a remainder. However, 9 is a composite number because it can be divided evenly by numbers other than 1 and itself, such as 3. Therefore, 9 cannot be a prime factor of 81.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    3 is the ONLY prime factor of 81.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because prime factorization breaks down a number into its prime factors. In the case of 81, the prime factorization is 34, indicating that 3 is the only prime factor of 81, and it appears four times in the factorization. This demonstrates that 81 can be expressed as the product of only one prime factor, reinforcing the fact that 3 is the sole prime factor of 81.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    A _____ number is a natural number that's not a prime number.

    Correct Answer
    composite
    COMPOSITE
    Explanation
    A composite number is a natural number that is not a prime number. It can be divided evenly by at least one number other than 1 and itself. In this question, both "composite" and "COMPOSITE" are correct answers as they both refer to the same concept of a non-prime natural number.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Is 23 a prime number?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    Yes, 23 is a prime number. A prime number is a positive integer greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. In the case of 23, it does not have any divisors other than 1 and 23, which meets the definition of a prime number.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Select ALL the numbers that are prime numbers.

    • 7

    • 21

    • 13

    • 10

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. 7
    A. 13
    Explanation
    The prime numbers among the given options are:

    1. 7
    2. 13

    Explanation: Prime numbers are natural numbers greater than 1 that have no positive divisors other than 1 and themselves. 

    7 and 13 fit this definition, as they cannot be divided evenly by any other positive integer except 1 and themselves. 

    21 and 10, however, are not prime numbers. 

    21 is divisible by 1, 3, 7, and 21, so it's not a prime number. 

    10 is divisible by 1, 2, 5, and 10, so it's also not a prime number.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Is 35 a prime number?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    No, 35 is not a prime number. 

    A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has exactly two distinct positive divisors: 1 and itself. 

    In the case of 35, it has divisors other than 1 and itself. Specifically, it can be divided evenly by 1, 5, 7, and 35. 

    Since 35 has more than two distinct positive divisors, it does not meet the criteria to be classified as a prime number. Therefore, 35 is a composite number.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

      75  =  7 x 5

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The equation (75 = 7 times 5) is not accurate.

    (75) represents "7 raised to the power of 5," which means multiplying 7 by itself 5 times.

    So, (75 = 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 = 16807).

    It's important to understand that exponentiation (raising a number to a power) involves multiplying the base (in this case, 7) by itself the number of times indicated by the exponent (in this case, 5).

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    9 4 = 9 x 9 x 9 x 9

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given equation states that 9 raised to the power of 4 is equal to 9 multiplied by itself four times. This is true because raising a number to a power means multiplying it by itself the number of times indicated by the power. In this case, 9 raised to the power of 4 means multiplying 9 by itself four times, resulting in the same value as 9 x 9 x 9 x 9. Therefore, the answer is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    What is the PRIME FACTORIZATION of  45?

    • 3 x 3 x 5

    • 5 x 9

    • 2 x 3 x 5

    Correct Answer
    A. 3 x 3 x 5
    Explanation
    The prime factorization of 45 is 3 x 3 x 5. This means that 45 can be broken down into its prime factors, which are 3 and 5. Multiplying these prime factors together gives the original number 45.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    23  x  3  = Answer with a WHOLE NUMBER

    Correct Answer
    24
    Explanation
    The expression (23 times 3) involves two operations: exponentiation and multiplication.

    1. Exponentiation: (23) means "2 raised to the power of 3," which is equivalent to multiplying 2 by itself three times. So, (23 = 2 times 2 times 2 = 8).

    2. Multiplication: Once we have the result of (23), which is 8, we then multiply it by 3, as indicated by the expression. So, (8 times 3 = 24).

    Therefore, (23 times 3) equals (24).

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    What is the PRIME FACTORIZATION of  56?

    • 7 x 8

    • 2 x 4 x 7

    • 2 x 2 x 2 x 7

    Correct Answer
    A. 2 x 2 x 2 x 7
    Explanation
    The prime factorization of 56 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 7. This means that 56 can be expressed as the product of these prime numbers. The number 2 is repeated three times because it is a prime factor of 56, and the number 7 is also a prime factor.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    Is 16 prime or composite? answer with one of the words: prime composite

    Correct Answer
    composite
    Explanation
    The number 16 is composite because it has factors other than 1 and itself. In this case, 16 can be divided evenly by 2, 4, and 8, in addition to 1 and 16. Therefore, it does not meet the criteria to be classified as a prime number.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    Which part of this question is most related to the "L" in the LCM?  Ben exercises every 12 days and Isabel every 8 days. Ben and Isabel both exercised today. How many days will it be until they exercise together again?

    • the soonest time they will exercise together again

    • They will exercise at the same time

    • Their exercise continues on into the future

    Correct Answer
    A. the soonest time they will exercise together again
    Explanation
    The "L" in LCM stands for "least", which refers to the smallest common multiple. In this question, the "L" is related to the phrase "the soonest time they will exercise together again". The LCM of 12 and 8 is 24, which means that they will exercise together again after 24 days, which is the soonest time they will exercise together again.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    Which part of this question is most related to the "M" in the LCM?  Boxes that are 12 inches tall are being stacked next to boxes that are 18 inches tall. What is the shortest height at which the two stacks will be the same height?  

    • the soonest time they will exercise together again

    • What is the shortest height

    • 12 inch tall boxes are being stacked next to boxes that are 18 inches tall

    Correct Answer
    A. 12 inch tall boxes are being stacked next to boxes that are 18 inches tall
    Explanation
    The part of the question that is most related to the "M" in the LCM is "12 inch tall boxes are being stacked next to boxes that are 18 inches tall". This is because the LCM (Least Common Multiple) is the smallest number that is divisible by both 12 and 18. In this case, the LCM represents the shortest height at which the two stacks will be the same height.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    Which part of this question is most related to the "C" in the GCF?  Samantha has two pieces of cloth. One piece is 72 inches wide and the other piece is 90 inches wide. She wants to cut both pieces into strips of equal width that are “as wide as possible”. How wide should she cut the strips?

    • Dividing the strips into smaller pieces

    • Cut equal strips from both the 72 and 90 wide strips

    • Wants the widest possible strips

    Correct Answer
    A. Cut equal strips from both the 72 and 90 wide strips
    Explanation
    The part of the question that is most related to the "C" in the GCF is "cut equal strips from both the 72 and 90 wide strips". This is because finding the greatest common factor (GCF) involves finding the largest number that divides evenly into both 72 and 90. In this case, cutting equal strips from both the 72 and 90 wide strips would require finding the width that evenly divides into both measurements, which is the purpose of finding the GCF.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    Which part of this question is most related to the "F" in the GCF?  Shannon is making identical balloon arrangements for a party. She has 32 maroon balloons, 24 white balloons, and 16 orange balloons. She wants each arrangement to have the same number of each color. What is the greatest number of arrangements that she can make if every balloon is used?

    • The greatest number of arrangements

    • The different colors of balloons to choose from

    • Dividing the balloons into the same number of each color

    Correct Answer
    A. Dividing the balloons into the same number of each color
    Explanation
    The part of the question that is most related to the "F" in the GCF is "dividing the balloons into the same number of each color". This is because finding the greatest number of arrangements depends on dividing the total number of balloons evenly among the different colors. To do this, Shannon needs to determine the greatest common factor (GCF) of the total number of each color of balloons.

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    Which one of the following uses UNITS as a way to describe what you are talking about? 

    • Rate

    • Ratio

    • Both rates and ratios

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Rate
    Explanation
    A rate is a comparison of two quantities that have different units. It is used to describe how one quantity changes in relation to another quantity. For example, miles per hour is a rate that describes how many miles are traveled in one hour. Therefore, the correct answer is rate because it uses units to describe what you are talking about.

    Rate this question:

  • 26. 

    4 apples per 6 oranges is a ratio but NOT a rate

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A ratio compares two quantities and can be expressed in the form of a fraction, like 4:6. In this case, the ratio of 4 apples to 6 oranges means that for every 4 apples, there are 6 oranges. On the other hand, a rate compares two quantities with different units and is expressed in terms of a unit rate, such as "apples per oranges." Since the given statement mentions "apples per oranges," it is actually describing a rate rather than a ratio. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Rate this question:

    Imagine that you can eat 4 donuts in 5 minutes.  How would you explain the rate of donuts you eat per ONE minute? 

    • 1 donut per 1.5 minutes

    • 4 donuts per 10 minutes

    • 0.8 donuts per minute

    • 1.8 donuts per minute

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.8 donuts per minute
    Explanation
    The rate of donuts eaten per one minute can be calculated by dividing the total number of donuts (4) by the total time taken (5 minutes). In this case, 4 divided by 5 equals 0.8. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.8 donuts per minute.

    Mr.Brzezinski can dribble a basketball 140 times in 60 seconds. How many times can he dribble in 10 seconds? Answer: write only the number and round your answer to the tenths decimal place.  Hint: think proportionally!

    Correct Answer
    23.3
    Explanation
    Mr. Brzezinski can dribble a basketball 140 times in 60 seconds. To find out how many times he can dribble in 10 seconds, we can set up a proportion. Since the time is decreasing from 60 seconds to 10 seconds, the number of dribbles will also decrease proportionally. By cross-multiplying and dividing, we find that he can dribble approximately 23.3 times in 10 seconds.

    There are 17 girls and 15 boys in a class.  What is the ratio of boys to the whole class?

    • 17 : 15

    • 15 : 17

    • 15 : 32

    • 17 : 32

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. 15 : 32
    Explanation
    To find the ratio of boys to the whole class, we need to express the number of boys as a fraction of the total number of students in the class.

    Total number of students = Number of girls + Number of boys
    Total number of students = 17 (girls) + 15 (boys) = 32 students

    So, the ratio of boys to the whole class is 15 : 32.

    Therefore, the correct option is: 15 : 32.

    Rico and Lamar split a profit in the ratio 3 : 4. Rico received $60. How much money did Lamar receive?

    • $120

    • $80

    • $160

    • $20

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. $80
    Explanation
    Rico and Lamar split the profit in a ratio of 3:4. Since Rico received $60, we can assume that this represents 3 parts of the ratio. To find out how much each part is worth, we divide $60 by 3, which gives us $20 per part. Since Lamar's share is 4 parts of the ratio, we multiply $20 by 4, which gives us $80. Therefore, Lamar received $80.

    A Unit Rate describes the cost of MORE THAN one item?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A unit rate describes the cost (or other measure) of one item or unit. It represents the amount of a quantity (such as cost, distance, time) per one unit. For example, if you buy 3 items for $15, the unit rate would be $5 per item. Therefore, a unit rate describes the cost of one item, not more than one item.

    2 oranges for $0.50 What is the unit rate?

    • $.25

    • $.25 per dollar

    • $.25 per orange

    Correct Answer
    A. $.25 per orange
    Explanation
    The unit rate is $.25 per orange because the given information states that 2 oranges can be bought for $0.50. To find the unit rate, we divide the cost of the oranges by the number of oranges. In this case, $0.50 divided by 2 equals $.25, which means that each orange costs $.25.

    What is the largest number of people that could share 72 apples and 54 bananas?

    Correct Answer
    18
    Explanation
    To find the largest number of people who can share 72 apples and 54 bananas equally, we need to determine the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 72 and 54.

    First, let's find the prime factorization of both numbers:
    - 72 = 2^3 * 3^2
    - 54 = 2 * 3^3

    Next, we identify the common factors:
    - Both have 2 and 3 as factors, but the smallest power of 2 is 2^1 and the smallest power of 3 is 3^2.

    The GCD is the product of these common factors:
    GCD(72, 54) = 2^1 * 3^2 = 2 * 9 = 18

    So, the largest number of people who can share 72 apples and 54 bananas equally is 18.

    Which is the GCF of 18 and 24?

    • 18

    • 6

    • 12

    • 24

    Correct Answer
    A. 6
    Explanation
    The greatest common factor (GCF) is the largest number that divides both 18 and 24 without leaving a remainder. To find the GCF, we can list the factors of both numbers and find the largest one they have in common. The factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18. The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24. The largest number they have in common is 6, so the GCF of 18 and 24 is 6.

    What is the GCF of 10 and 21?

    Correct Answer
    1
    Explanation
    The greatest common factor (GCF) of two numbers is the largest number that divides both of them without leaving a remainder. In this case, the numbers 10 and 21 do not have any common factors other than 1. Therefore, the GCF of 10 and 21 is 1.
