What is \( \sqrt{\frac{25}{36}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{7}\)
\(\frac{5}{6}\)
\(\frac{5}{9}\)
\(\frac{3}{4}\)

Solution

To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:

\( \sqrt{\frac{25}{36}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{36}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{5^2}}{\sqrt{6^2}} \)
\(\frac{5}{6}\)

The total water usage for a city is 15,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 32% is for personal use and 66% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
13,200
9,300
5,100
11,600

Solution

66% of the water consumption is industrial use and 32% is personal use so (66% - 32%) = 34% more water is used for industrial purposes. 15,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{34}{100} \) x 15,000 gallons = 5,100 gallons.

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

69% Answer Correctly
24
31
29
27

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

Monty loaned Bob $1,300 at an annual interest rate of 6%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$10
$42
$78
$30

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $1,300
i = 0.06 x $1,300
i = $78
