The total water usage for a city is 35,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 11% is for personal use and 30% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?
| 6,300 | |
| 1,600 | |
| 6,650 | |
| 2,800 |
30% of the water consumption is industrial use and 11% is personal use so (30% - 11%) = 19% more water is used for industrial purposes. 35,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{19}{100} \) x 35,000 gallons = 6,650 gallons.
What is \( \frac{-5y^7}{9y^3} \)?
| -\(\frac{5}{9}\)y4 | |
| -1\(\frac{4}{5}\)y10 | |
| -\(\frac{5}{9}\)y2\(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{4}{5}\)y-4 |
To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:
\( \frac{-5y^7}{9y^3} \)
\( \frac{-5}{9} \) y(7 - 3)
-\(\frac{5}{9}\)y4
Simplify \( \sqrt{32} \)
| 3\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 4\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 8\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 2\( \sqrt{2} \) |
To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:
\( \sqrt{32} \)
\( \sqrt{16 \times 2} \)
\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
Solve 4 + (4 + 3) ÷ 2 x 2 - 32
| 1\(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| \(\frac{4}{5}\) | |
| \(\frac{5}{8}\) | |
| 2 |
Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):
4 + (4 + 3) ÷ 2 x 2 - 32
P: 4 + (7) ÷ 2 x 2 - 32
E: 4 + 7 ÷ 2 x 2 - 9
MD: 4 + \( \frac{7}{2} \) x 2 - 9
MD: 4 + \( \frac{14}{2} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{8}{2} \) + \( \frac{14}{2} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{22}{2} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{22 - 18}{2} \)

Simplify \( \frac{20}{68} \).
| \( \frac{4}{11} \) | |
| \( \frac{1}{4} \) | |
| \( \frac{10}{11} \) | |
| \( \frac{5}{17} \) |
To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 20 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20] and the factors of 68 are [1, 2, 4, 17, 34, 68]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).
Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:
\( \frac{20}{68} \) = \( \frac{\frac{20}{4}}{\frac{68}{4}} \) = \( \frac{5}{17} \)
