What is 9\( \sqrt{7} \) x 6\( \sqrt{5} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
54\( \sqrt{35} \)
54\( \sqrt{5} \)
15\( \sqrt{35} \)
15\( \sqrt{5} \)

Solution

To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:

9\( \sqrt{7} \) x 6\( \sqrt{5} \)
(9 x 6)\( \sqrt{7 \times 5} \)
54\( \sqrt{35} \)

The total water usage for a city is 35,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 16% is for personal use and 51% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
16,500
3,600
1,600
12,250

Solution

51% of the water consumption is industrial use and 16% is personal use so (51% - 16%) = 35% more water is used for industrial purposes. 35,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{35}{100} \) x 35,000 gallons = 12,250 gallons.


3

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 75% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

50% Answer Correctly
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
25%
15%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 75% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{75\text{%}}{2} \) = 37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


4

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

59% Answer Correctly

commutative

distributive

PEDMAS

associative


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.
