1.There are many numbers which divide 109 with a remainder of 4. List ALL two-digit
numbers that have this property.Solution109 – 4 = 105105 = 3 x 5 x 7Multiply two factors of 105 at a
time, i.e. 3 x 5, 3 x 7, and 5 x 7.Answers:
15, 21, 35
2.Nic puts together 42 one-cm cubes to form a rectangular prism. If the perimeter of the
base is 18 cm, what is the height of the prism?SolutionThe area of the base must be a divisor of 42.But
42 = 3 x 7 x 2. For the perimeter to be 18 cm, the base must be 7 cm x 2 cm.Therefore the
height of the prism is 3 cm.Answer:
3 cm
3.Colored pens are sold in packs of 3 pens or packs of 5 pens. What is
t h e l e a s t number of packs one needs to buy to have exactly 42 colored pens?SolutionTo obtain the
least number of packs, maximize the packs of 5.42
÷

5 = 8 remainder 2The sum of the smallest multiple of 5 and the remainder 2 that is divisible by 3 is12.So,
4 packs of 3 pens and 6 packs of 5 pens. And 4 + 6 = 10.

Answer:
10
4.On four long quizzes where the scores could be from 0 to 50, Lina had an average score of
45. What was the lowest score that she could have obtained on one test?SolutionTo get the lowest
possible score on one test, Lina’s score in each of the 3 other quizzes should be perfect. This
gives 3 x 50 = 150 as her total score in 3 quizzes.Her total score in 4 quizzes is 4 x 45 = 180. So, her score
in 1 quiz must be 180 – 150 = 30.Answer:
30

least 1 of each kind? Give two possible combinations.Solution68
÷
4 = 17 tablesTherefore one possible combination is 4 stools and 14 tables.For the other combinations
on the number of stools (s) and the number of tables (t), the number of stools should be multiples
of 4 in order to use all the legs.

Answer:
(s, t) = (4, 14), (8, 11), (12, 8), (16, 5), (20, 2)
4.Ms. Cruz computed the average score of his mathematics class with 50 pupils as83. But
she discovered that Lea’s score of 81 was misrecorded as 31 and Ben’s score of 65 was
misrecorded as 85. What is the correct average of the class?Solution81-31 = 50 so Lea’s recorded score is

50 less than her actual score.85-65 = 20 so Ben’s recorded score is 20 more than his actual score.50 – 20
= 30 should be added to the total of the scores of the class30
÷
50 = .6So 83 + .6 = 83.6Answer:
83.6 or 83.60
