What is 5\( \sqrt{9} \) x 3\( \sqrt{7} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
8\( \sqrt{9} \)
45\( \sqrt{7} \)
15\( \sqrt{16} \)
15\( \sqrt{7} \)

Solution

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

5\( \sqrt{9} \) x 3\( \sqrt{7} \)
(5 x 3)\( \sqrt{9 \times 7} \)
15\( \sqrt{63} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

15\( \sqrt{63} \)
15\( \sqrt{7 \times 9} \)
15\( \sqrt{7 \times 3^2} \)
(15)(3)\( \sqrt{7} \)
45\( \sqrt{7} \)

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 4:1 and all 39,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

49% Answer Correctly
37,500
34,167
24,800
31,200

Solution

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:

39,000 fans x \( \frac{4}{5} \) = \( \frac{156000}{5} \) = 31,200 fans.

What is \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{80} \) - \( 2 \)\( \sqrt{5} \)

39% Answer Correctly
2\( \sqrt{9} \)
2\( \sqrt{5} \)
14\( \sqrt{5} \)
8\( \sqrt{80} \)

Solution

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

4\( \sqrt{80} \) - 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
4\( \sqrt{16 \times 5} \) - 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
4\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 5} \) - 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
(4)(4)\( \sqrt{5} \) - 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
16\( \sqrt{5} \) - 2\( \sqrt{5} \)

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

16\( \sqrt{5} \) - 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
(16 - 2)\( \sqrt{5} \)
14\( \sqrt{5} \)

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 75% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
35%
20%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 75% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{75\text{%}}{2} \) = 37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


5

Which of the following is not a prime number?

65% Answer Correctly

9

7

5

2


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.
