  1. What is the least common multiple (LCM) of 8 and 12?

    Answer: 24

    The LCM of 8 and 12 is 24, since 24 is the smallest number divisible by both 8 and 12.

  2. Simplify: −3 × (−4) + (−2)

    Answer: 10

    −3 × (−4) = 12, then 12 + (−2) = 10.

  3. Which of the following is an irrational number?

    Answer: √7

    √7 cannot be expressed as a fraction and its decimal is non-terminating and non-repeating, making it irrational.

  4. A store marks up an item by 25%. If the original price is $80, what is the selling price?

    Answer: $100

    25% of $80 is $20, so the selling price is $80 + $20 = $100.

  5. Convert 0.375 to a fraction in lowest terms.

    Answer: 3/8

    0.375 = 375/1000, which reduces to 3/8 by dividing numerator and denominator by 125.

  6. If x = −2, what is the value of x² − 3x + 1?

    Answer: 11

    (−2)² − 3(−2) + 1 = 4 + 6 + 1 = 11.

  7. What is the greatest common factor (GCF) of 36 and 48?

    Answer: 12

    The factors of 36 include 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36 and the factors of 48 include 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48; the greatest common factor is 12.
