1

What is \( \frac{21\sqrt{35}}{7\sqrt{5}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
7 \( \sqrt{3} \)
\(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{3} \)
3 \( \sqrt{7} \)
\(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{21\sqrt{35}}{7\sqrt{5}} \)
\( \frac{21}{7} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{35}{5}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{7} \)


2

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

71% Answer Correctly

\({2 \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.


3

Charlie loaned Alex $300 at an annual interest rate of 9%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$13
$27
$20
$24

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $300
i = 0.09 x $300
i = $27


4

4! = ?

85% Answer Correctly

3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.


5

If a car travels 100 miles in 2 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
50 mph
70 mph
25 mph
30 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{100mi}{2h} \)
50 mph
