1

What is \( \frac{2}{6} \) x \( \frac{3}{8} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{8}\)
\(\frac{3}{4}\)
\(\frac{2}{27}\)
\(\frac{4}{21}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{2}{6} \) x \( \frac{3}{8} \) = \( \frac{2 x 3}{6 x 8} \) = \( \frac{6}{48} \) = \(\frac{1}{8}\)


2

What is \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{20} \) - \( 6 \)\( \sqrt{5} \)

38% Answer Correctly
4\( \sqrt{5} \)
30\( \sqrt{5} \)
-1\( \sqrt{21} \)
-1\( \sqrt{4} \)

Solution

To subtract these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

5\( \sqrt{20} \) - 6\( \sqrt{5} \)
5\( \sqrt{4 \times 5} \) - 6\( \sqrt{5} \)
5\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 5} \) - 6\( \sqrt{5} \)
(5)(2)\( \sqrt{5} \) - 6\( \sqrt{5} \)
10\( \sqrt{5} \) - 6\( \sqrt{5} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:

10\( \sqrt{5} \) - 6\( \sqrt{5} \)
(10 - 6)\( \sqrt{5} \)
4\( \sqrt{5} \)


3

What is \( \frac{45\sqrt{36}}{9\sqrt{9}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \)
\(\frac{1}{4}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \)
5 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \)
5 \( \sqrt{4} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{45\sqrt{36}}{9\sqrt{9}} \)
\( \frac{45}{9} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{36}{9}} \)
5 \( \sqrt{4} \)


4

What is the greatest common factor of 60 and 80?

77% Answer Correctly
34
23
50
20

Solution

The factors of 60 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60] and the factors of 80 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80]. They share 6 factors [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20] making 20 the greatest factor 60 and 80 have in common.


5

What is \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{27} \) + \( 3 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

35% Answer Correctly
27\( \sqrt{81} \)
12\( \sqrt{27} \)
27\( \sqrt{27} \)
30\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

9\( \sqrt{27} \) + 3\( \sqrt{3} \)
9\( \sqrt{9 \times 3} \) + 3\( \sqrt{3} \)
9\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 3} \) + 3\( \sqrt{3} \)
(9)(3)\( \sqrt{3} \) + 3\( \sqrt{3} \)
27\( \sqrt{3} \) + 3\( \sqrt{3} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

27\( \sqrt{3} \) + 3\( \sqrt{3} \)
(27 + 3)\( \sqrt{3} \)
30\( \sqrt{3} \)
