1. What is the greatest common factor of the numbers 72, 102, and 120?
2. What is the sum of the next two numbers in the following sequence?
1, 2, 4, 8, 16...
3. What is the sum of the integers from zero to 50, inclusively?
4.
An envelope contains a sheet listing a three-digit mystery number. On the outside are three clues:
• The mystery number is prime
• My tens digit is equal to my hundreds digit
• My ones digit is equal to one less than the sum of the tens and hundreds digit
What is the mystery number?
5. If you were to list the numbers from 1 to 271, inclusively, how many times would you write the
digit ‘2’?
6. If 15 objects are to be placed into four different piles, each with a different number of objects,
what is the largest number of objects any of the piles can have?
7. What is the fraction equivalent of the repeating decimal 0.24 ? Express your answer as a
reduced fraction.
8. If the first term of a sequence is 2, the second term of the sequence is 7, and each of the following
terms is equal to the sum of the previous two terms, what is the tenth term in the sequence?
9. If each of the operators, “+”, “-”, and “x” must be used exactly once in each of the blanks below,
what is the largest value that the expression can have?
2 __ 4 __ 3 __ 3
10. In chess, a queen can move in any one linear direction any number of spaces each move. If the
queen is placed on one of the 64 squares, what is the greatest number of possible moves you can
have?
