What is \( \sqrt{\frac{25}{81}} \)?
| \(\frac{5}{9}\) | |
| 1 | |
| \(\frac{8}{9}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{2}{3}\) |
To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:
\( \sqrt{\frac{25}{81}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{81}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{5^2}}{\sqrt{9^2}} \)
\(\frac{5}{9}\)
If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 4:1 and all 37,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?
| 29,600 | |
| 24,750 | |
| 38,400 | |
| 23,250 |
A ratio of 4:1 means that there are 4 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 5 fans, 4 are home fans and \( \frac{4}{5} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:
37,000 fans x \( \frac{4}{5} \) = \( \frac{148000}{5} \) = 29,600 fans.
What is \( \frac{3}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{9} \)?
| \(\frac{4}{15}\) | |
| \(\frac{3}{56}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{7}{20}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{48}\) |
To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:
\( \frac{3}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{9} \) = \( \frac{3}{5} \) x \( \frac{9}{4} \)
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:
\( \frac{3}{5} \) x \( \frac{9}{4} \) = \( \frac{3 x 9}{5 x 4} \) = \( \frac{27}{20} \) = 1\(\frac{7}{20}\)
Simplify \( \sqrt{20} \)
| 5\( \sqrt{5} \) | |
| 4\( \sqrt{10} \) | |
| 2\( \sqrt{10} \) | |
| 2\( \sqrt{5} \) |
To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:
\( \sqrt{20} \)
\( \sqrt{4 \times 5} \)
\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 5} \)
2\( \sqrt{5} \)
What is \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{18} \) + \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{2} \)
| 34\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 63\( \sqrt{36} \) | |
| 63\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 16\( \sqrt{18} \) |
To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:
9\( \sqrt{18} \) + 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{9 \times 2} \) + 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 2} \) + 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
(9)(3)\( \sqrt{2} \) + 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
27\( \sqrt{2} \) + 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:
27\( \sqrt{2} \) + 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
