1

What is \( \frac{10\sqrt{30}}{2\sqrt{6}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
5 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \)
\(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{5} \)
5 \( \sqrt{5} \)
\(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{10\sqrt{30}}{2\sqrt{6}} \)
\( \frac{10}{2} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{30}{6}} \)
5 \( \sqrt{5} \)

3

Bob loaned Frank $1,200 at an annual interest rate of 2%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$18
$5
$24
$11

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 $1,200
i = 0.02 x $1,200
i = $24

A machine in a factory has an error rate of 4 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 9 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 2 hours for maintenance.

How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?

49% Answer Correctly
81.6
109.2
190.1
98.9

Solution

The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:

\( \frac{4}{100} \) x 9 = \( \frac{4 \times 9}{100} \) = \( \frac{36}{100} \) = 0.36 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 9 - 0.36 = 8.64 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 2 = 22 hours yesterday so you would expect that 22 x 8.64 = 190.1 error free parts were produced yesterday.
