1

What is \( \frac{4\sqrt{6}}{2\sqrt{2}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
2 \( \sqrt{3} \)
2 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{4\sqrt{6}}{2\sqrt{2}} \)
\( \frac{4}{2} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{6}{2}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{3} \)


2

A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 7 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 7 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?

53% Answer Correctly
49:2
1:1
1:8
3:6

Solution

The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 7:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 7:1. To solve this problem, we need the baseball card side of each ratio to be equal so we need to rewrite the ratios in terms of a common number of baseball cards. (Think of this like finding the common denominator when adding fractions.) The ratio of football to baseball cards can also be written as 49:14 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 14:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 49:14, 14:2 which reduces to 49:2.


3

4! = ?

85% Answer Correctly

4 x 3

3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.


4

What is the greatest common factor of 32 and 20?

77% Answer Correctly
8
1
5
4

Solution

The factors of 32 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32] and the factors of 20 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 the greatest factor 32 and 20 have in common.


5

Solve for \( \frac{4!}{2!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{20} \)
\( \frac{1}{6} \)
12
42

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{4!}{2!} \)
\( \frac{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{4 \times 3}{1} \)
\( 4 \times 3 \)
