What is \( \frac{35\sqrt{56}}{5\sqrt{8}} \)?
| \(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \) | |
| 7 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \) | |
| \(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{7} \) | |
| 7 \( \sqrt{7} \) |
To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:
\( \frac{35\sqrt{56}}{5\sqrt{8}} \)
\( \frac{35}{5} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{56}{8}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{7} \)
A machine in a factory has an error rate of 2 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 9 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 7 hours for maintenance.
How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?
| 149.9 | |
| 160.7 | |
| 144.8 | |
| 143.8 |
The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:
\( \frac{2}{100} \) x 9 = \( \frac{2 \times 9}{100} \) = \( \frac{18}{100} \) = 0.18 errors per hour
So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 9 - 0.18 = 8.82 error free parts.
The machine ran for 24 - 7 = 17 hours yesterday so you would expect that 17 x 8.82 = 149.9 error free parts were produced yesterday.
How many 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 15 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?
| 5 | |
| 10 | |
| 4 | |
| 6 |
To fill a 15 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 7\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:
cans = \( \frac{7\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}}{1\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 5
What is 7\( \sqrt{8} \) x 3\( \sqrt{6} \)?
| 21\( \sqrt{14} \) | |
| 21\( \sqrt{8} \) | |
| 21\( \sqrt{6} \) | |
| 84\( \sqrt{3} \) |
To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:
7\( \sqrt{8} \) x 3\( \sqrt{6} \)
(7 x 3)\( \sqrt{8 \times 6} \)
21\( \sqrt{48} \)
Now we need to simplify the radical:
21\( \sqrt{48} \)
21\( \sqrt{3 \times 16} \)
21\( \sqrt{3 \times 4^2} \)
(21)(4)\( \sqrt{3} \)
84\( \sqrt{3} \)
A tiger in a zoo has consumed 54 pounds of food in 6 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 90 pounds?
| 4 | |
| 8 | |
| 1 | |
| 3 |
If the tiger has consumed 54 pounds of food in 6 days that's \( \frac{54}{6} \) = 9 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 90 - 54 = 36 more pounds of food to reach 90 pounds total. At 9 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{36}{9} \) = 4 more days.
