What is \( \frac{10\sqrt{12}}{5\sqrt{3}} \)?

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

Solution

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

\( \frac{10\sqrt{12}}{5\sqrt{3}} \)
\( \frac{10}{5} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{12}{3}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{4} \)

If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 18 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?

47% Answer Correctly
32 m2
98 m2
18 m2
162 m2

Solution

The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 18 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 18.

Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):

2w + 2h = 18
w + h = \( \frac{18}{2} \)
w + h = 9
w = 9 - h

From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:

w = 9 - 2w
3w = 9
w = \( \frac{9}{3} \)
w = 3

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 3) = 6 and the area = h x w = 3 x 6 = 18 m2


3

What is (b4)4?

80% Answer Correctly
b8
4b4
b16
b0

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(b4)4
b(4 * 4)
b16


4

Which of these numbers is a factor of 64?

69% Answer Correctly
37
7
8
11

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 64 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64.


5

What is \( \frac{7}{4} \) - \( \frac{4}{8} \)?

61% Answer Correctly
2 \( \frac{5}{9} \)
\( \frac{9}{8} \)
2 \( \frac{5}{14} \)
1\(\frac{1}{4}\)

Solution

To subtract these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 4 are [4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40] and the first few multiples of 8 are [8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80]. The first few multiples they share are [8, 16, 24, 32, 40] making 8 the smallest multiple 4 and 8 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{7 x 2}{4 x 2} \) - \( \frac{4 x 1}{8 x 1} \)

\( \frac{14}{8} \) - \( \frac{4}{8} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can subtract them:

\( \frac{14 - 4}{8} \) = \( \frac{10}{8} \) = 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)
