What is \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{175} \) - \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)
| 0\( \sqrt{7} \) | |
| 16\( \sqrt{1225} \) | |
| 0\( \sqrt{1225} \) | |
| 16\( \sqrt{7} \) |
To subtract these radicals together their radicands must be the same:
4\( \sqrt{175} \) - 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
4\( \sqrt{25 \times 7} \) - 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
4\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 7} \) - 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
(4)(5)\( \sqrt{7} \) - 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
20\( \sqrt{7} \) - 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:
20\( \sqrt{7} \) - 4\( \sqrt{7} \)Which of the following is a mixed number?
\({5 \over 7} \) |
|
\({7 \over 5} \) |
|
\({a \over 5} \) |
|
\(1 {2 \over 5} \) |
A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.
On average, the center for a basketball team hits 50% of his shots while a guard on the same team hits 70% of his shots. If the guard takes 10 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?
| 25 | |
| 14 | |
| 12 | |
| 15 |
guard shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \) = 10 x \( \frac{70}{100} \) = \( \frac{70 x 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{700}{100} \) = 7 shots
The center makes 50% 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 = \( \frac{7}{\frac{50}{100}} \) = 7 x \( \frac{100}{50} \) = \( \frac{7 x 100}{50} \) = \( \frac{700}{50} \) = 14 shots
to make the same number of shots as the guard and thus score the same number of points.
A tiger in a zoo has consumed 24 pounds of food in 4 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 66 pounds?
| 7 | |
| 2 | |
| 11 | |
| 6 |
If the tiger has consumed 24 pounds of food in 4 days that's \( \frac{24}{4} \) = 6 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 66 - 24 = 42 more pounds of food to reach 66 pounds total. At 6 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{42}{6} \) = 7 more days.
A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 40% off." If Monty buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $48, how much money will he save?
| $2.40 | |
| $21.60 | |
| $19.20 | |
| $14.40 |
By buying two shirts, Monty will save $48 x \( \frac{40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$48 x 40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1920}{100} \) = $19.20 on the second shirt.
