A tiger in a zoo has consumed 55 pounds of food in 5 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 121 pounds?
| 3 | |
| 6 | |
| 9 | |
| 8 |
If the tiger has consumed 55 pounds of food in 5 days that's \( \frac{55}{5} \) = 11 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 121 - 55 = 66 more pounds of food to reach 121 pounds total. At 11 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{66}{11} \) = 6 more days.
If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 18 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?
| 18 m2 | |
| 50 m2 | |
| 32 m2 | |
| 8 m2 |
The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 18 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 18.
Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):
2w + 2h = 18
w + h = \( \frac{18}{2} \)
w + h = 9
w = 9 - h
From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:
w = 9 - 2w
3w = 9
w = \( \frac{9}{3} \)
w = 3
Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 3) = 6 and the area = h x w = 3 x 6 = 18 m2
Which of the following is an improper fraction?
\(1 {2 \over 5} \) |
|
\({2 \over 5} \) |
|
\({7 \over 5} \) |
|
\({a \over 5} \) |
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.
Which of the following statements about exponents is false?
b1 = 1 |
|
all of these are false |
|
b1 = b |
|
b0 = 1 |
A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).
What is \( \frac{18\sqrt{42}}{6\sqrt{6}} \)?
| 3 \( \sqrt{7} \) | |
| \(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{7} \) | |
| \(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \) | |
| \(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{3} \) |
To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:
\( \frac{18\sqrt{42}}{6\sqrt{6}} \)
\( \frac{18}{6} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{42}{6}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{7} \)
