On average, the center for a basketball team hits 30% of his shots while a guard on the same team hits 35% of his shots. If the guard takes 25 shots during a game, how many shots will the center have to take to score as many points as the guard assuming each shot is worth the same number of points?
| 26 | |
| 27 | |
| 36 | |
| 20 |
guard shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \) = 25 x \( \frac{35}{100} \) = \( \frac{35 x 25}{100} \) = \( \frac{875}{100} \) = 8 shots
The center makes 30% of his shots so he'll have to take:
shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \)
shots taken = \( \frac{\text{shots taken}}{\frac{\text{% made}}{100}} \)
to make as many shots as the guard. Plugging in values for the center gives us:
center shots taken = \( \frac{8}{\frac{30}{100}} \) = 8 x \( \frac{100}{30} \) = \( \frac{8 x 100}{30} \) = \( \frac{800}{30} \) = 27 shots
to make the same number of shots as the guard and thus score the same number of points.
What is \( \frac{35\sqrt{18}}{7\sqrt{9}} \)?
| \(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{5} \) | |
| 5 \( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| \(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \) | |
| 2 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \) |
To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:
\( \frac{35\sqrt{18}}{7\sqrt{9}} \)
\( \frac{35}{7} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{18}{9}} \)
5 \( \sqrt{2} \)
What is \( 8 \)\( \sqrt{18} \) - \( 2 \)\( \sqrt{2} \)
| 16\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 6\( \sqrt{36} \) | |
| 6\( \sqrt{-5} \) | |
| 22\( \sqrt{2} \) |
To subtract these radicals together their radicands must be the same:
8\( \sqrt{18} \) - 2\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{9 \times 2} \) - 2\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 2} \) - 2\( \sqrt{2} \)
(8)(3)\( \sqrt{2} \) - 2\( \sqrt{2} \)
24\( \sqrt{2} \) - 2\( \sqrt{2} \)
Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:
24\( \sqrt{2} \) - 2\( \sqrt{2} \)If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 42 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?
| 50 m2 | |
| 162 m2 | |
| 98 m2 | |
| 32 m2 |
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 42 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 42.
Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):
2w + 2h = 42
w + h = \( \frac{42}{2} \)
w + h = 21
w = 21 - h
From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:
w = 21 - 2w
3w = 21
w = \( \frac{21}{3} \)
w = 7
Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 7) = 14 and the area = h x w = 7 x 14 = 98 m2
A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 10% off." If Roger buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $10, how much money will he save?
| $3.00 | |
| $1.00 | |
| $0.50 | |
| $4.00 |
By buying two shirts, Roger will save $10 x \( \frac{10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$10 x 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$100}{100} \) = $1.00 on the second shirt.
