Lucas thinks he is getting better at these problems...are you?What is the greatest common factor (GCF) of 12 and 18?
- A.
6
- B.
9
- C.
12
- D.
24
Correct Answer
A. 6Explanation
The greatest common factor (GCF) is the largest number that divides evenly into both 12 and 18. To find the GCF, we can list the factors of both numbers and find the largest one they have in common. The factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. The factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18. The largest number they have in common is 6, so the GCF of 12 and 18 is 6.Rate this question:

Travis got ahold of the plate of cookies last night, and boy, was his mom mad! She told him he had eaten way more than his share, by having had 2/3 of a DOZEN cookies! What is 2/3 of 12?
- A.
4
- B.
6
- C.
3
- D.
8
Correct Answer
D. 8Explanation
Travis ate 2/3 of a dozen cookies. A dozen is equal to 12, so to find 2/3 of 12, we multiply 12 by 2/3. This can be done by multiplying the numerator (2) by 12 and dividing the result by the denominator (3). 2 multiplied by 12 is 24, and when divided by 3, the result is 8. Therefore, 2/3 of 12 is equal to 8.Rate this question:

2
- B.
-2/5
- C.
2/5
- D.
3/5
Correct Answer
C. 2/5Explanation
The given expression is subtracting 3/5 from 1. To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 5. So, we have 1 as 5/5. Subtracting 3/5 from 5/5 gives us 2/5. Therefore, the correct answer is 2/5.Rate this question:

- A.
1/24
- B.
1/9
- C.
1/6
- D.
1/12
Correct Answer
A. 1/24Explanation
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together. In this case, multiplying 1/2 by 1/3 gives us 1/6. Then, multiplying 1/6 by 1/4 gives us 1/24. Therefore, the correct answer is 1/24.Rate this question:

Estimate the product of 87 and 31.
- A.
2700
- B.
270
- C.
2400
- D.
240
Correct Answer
A. 2700Explanation
To estimate the product of 87 and 31, we can round both numbers to the nearest ten. 87 rounds to 90 and 31 rounds to 30. When we multiply 90 by 30, we get 2700. Therefore, the estimated product of 87 and 31 is 2700.Rate this question:

50
- C.
60
- D.
63
Correct Answer
C. 60Explanation
The average of 37, 82, 63, and 58 is 60. To find the average, you add up all the numbers and then divide the sum by the total number of values. In this case, the sum of 37, 82, 63, and 58 is 240. Dividing 240 by 4 (the total number of values) gives an average of 60.Rate this question:

Karter is a PRO at these problems...Are you?1/5 divided by 2/3
- A.
2/15
- B.
3/10
- C.
10/3
- D.
3 1/3
Correct Answer
B. 3/10Explanation
The correct answer is 3/10 because when we divide a fraction by another fraction, we actually multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. In this case, 1/5 divided by 2/3 is the same as 1/5 multiplied by 3/2. Multiplying the numerators gives us 3 and multiplying the denominators gives us 10. Therefore, the answer is 3/10.Rate this question:

Shane's parents have decided they have WAY too many miniature horses around--they are eating their family out of house and home! (Not to mention occasionally taking a bite of the family members themselves!) Shane has to sell or give away 1/4 of his horses! How many is that?What is 1/4 of 60?
- A.
15
- B.
240
- C.
10
- D.
12
Correct Answer
A. 15Explanation
Shane has to sell or give away 1/4 of his horses. To find out how many horses that is, we need to calculate 1/4 of the total number of horses he has, which is 60. To do this, we divide 60 by 4, which equals 15. Therefore, Shane has to sell or give away 15 horses.Rate this question:

3 3/4 - 2 =
- A.
3/4
- B.
1
- C.
1 3/4
- D.
1 1/4
Correct Answer
C. 1 3/4Explanation
The given expression is subtracting 2 from 3 3/4. To solve this, we need to convert the mixed number 3 3/4 into an improper fraction. 3 3/4 is equivalent to (4*3 + 3)/4 = 15/4. Subtracting 2 from 15/4 gives us (15/4) - (8/4) = 7/4. Converting 7/4 back into a mixed number, we get 1 3/4. Therefore, the correct answer is 1 3/4.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. 2/15Explanation
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. In this case, multiplying 1/5 by 2/3 gives us (1 x 2) / (5 x 3) = 2/15. Therefore, the correct answer is 2/15.Rate this question:

4/5 divided by 5/6 =
- A.
24/25
- B.
2/3
- C.
1 1/25
- D.
1/4
Correct Answer
A. 24/25Explanation
When dividing fractions, you can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. In this case, we have (4/5) divided by (5/6), which is the same as (4/5) multiplied by (6/5). When we multiply the numerators (4 and 6) and the denominators (5 and 5), we get 24/25. Therefore, the correct answer is 24/25.Rate this question:
