What is \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{12} \) + \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

35% Answer Correctly
36\( \sqrt{3} \)
17\( \sqrt{3} \)
13\( \sqrt{36} \)
36\( \sqrt{12} \)

Solution

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

4\( \sqrt{12} \) + 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
4\( \sqrt{4 \times 3} \) + 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
4\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 3} \) + 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
(4)(2)\( \sqrt{3} \) + 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
8\( \sqrt{3} \) + 9\( \sqrt{3} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

8\( \sqrt{3} \) + 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
(8 + 9)\( \sqrt{3} \)
17\( \sqrt{3} \)

If a car travels 180 miles in 6 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
70 mph
30 mph
45 mph
40 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{180mi}{6h} \)
30 mph


3

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 7, 13, 21, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
36
40
31
25

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 2(n - 1)

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 2(6 - 1)
a6 = 21 + 2(5)
a6 = 31


4

How many hours does it take a car to travel 180 miles at an average speed of 30 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
9 hours
6 hours
4 hours
1 hour

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{180mi}{30mph} \)
6 hours


5

If there were a total of 300 raffle tickets sold and you bought 9 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
15%
8%
10%
3%

Solution

You have 9 out of the total of 300 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{9}{300} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{9 \times 100}{300} \) = \( \frac{900}{300} \) = 3% chance to win the raffle.
