least common multiple

absolute value

greatest common factor


Solution

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that divides two integers.


2

What is \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{50} \) - \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{2} \)

39% Answer Correctly
11\( \sqrt{2} \)
36\( \sqrt{2} \)
-5\( \sqrt{100} \)
-5\( \sqrt{50} \)

Solution

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

4\( \sqrt{50} \) - 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{25 \times 2} \) - 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 2} \) - 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
(4)(5)\( \sqrt{2} \) - 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
20\( \sqrt{2} \) - 9\( \sqrt{2} \)

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

20\( \sqrt{2} \) - 9\( \sqrt{2} \)
(20 - 9)\( \sqrt{2} \)
11\( \sqrt{2} \)


3

How many 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 12 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
5
4
9
6

Solution

To fill a 12 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 6 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{6 \text{ gallons}}{1\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 4


4

Which of the following is not a prime number?

65% Answer Correctly

7

2

9

5


Solution

A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no factors other than 1 and itself. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.


5

What is \( \frac{12\sqrt{36}}{6\sqrt{9}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
2 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \)
4 \( \sqrt{2} \)
2 \( \sqrt{4} \)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{4} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{12\sqrt{36}}{6\sqrt{9}} \)
\( \frac{12}{6} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{36}{9}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{4} \)
