Simplify \( \sqrt{8} \)

62% Answer Correctly
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{4} \)
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{8} \)
\( \sqrt{4 \times 2} \)
\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)


3

A triathlon course includes a 500m swim, a 30.9km bike ride, and a 10.1km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
41.5km
34.9km
51.5km
34.6km

Solution

To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 500 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.5km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.5km + 30.9km + 10.1km
total distance = 41.5km

Convert 7,571,000 to scientific notation.

62% Answer Correctly
75.71 x 105
7.571 x 106
7.571 x 10-6
0.757 x 107

Solution

A number in scientific notation has the format 0.000 x 10exponent. To convert to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the right or the left until the number is a decimal between 1 and 10. The exponent of the 10 is the number of places you moved the decimal point and is positive if you moved the decimal point to the left and negative if you moved it to the right:

7,571,000 in scientific notation is 7.571 x 106

Diane scored 77% on her final exam. If each question was worth 4 points and there were 120 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Diane answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
13
23
27
38

Solution

Diane scored 77% on the test meaning she earned 77% of the possible points on the test. There were 120 possible points on the test so she earned 120 x 0.77 = 92 points. Each question is worth 4 points so she got \( \frac{92}{4} \) = 23 questions right.
