What is the greatest common factor (GCF) of 84 and 126?
Answer: 42
84 = 2²×3×7 and 126 = 2×3²×7; GCF = 2×3×7 = 42.
If a/b = 3/5 and b = 35, what is the value of a?
Answer: 21
a/35 = 3/5, so a = 35×3/5 = 105/5 = 21.
A cylinder has radius 5 cm and height 10 cm. What is its volume? (Use π ≈ 3.14)
Answer: 785 cm³
Volume = πr²h = 3.14 × 25 × 10 = 785 cm³.
What is 7/9 − 2/3 expressed as a fraction in lowest terms?
Answer: 1/9
Convert 2/3 to 6/9; then 7/9 − 6/9 = 1/9.
A store marks up goods by 40% then offers a 20% sale. What is the net effect on the original price?
