A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 3 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 3 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?

53% Answer Correctly
9:2
3:8
9:4
5:1

Solution

The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 3:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 3:1. 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 9:6 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 6:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 9:6, 6:2 which reduces to 9:2.


3

What is \( \frac{16\sqrt{15}}{8\sqrt{5}} \)?

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

Solution

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

\( \frac{16\sqrt{15}}{8\sqrt{5}} \)
\( \frac{16}{8} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{15}{5}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{3} \)


4

What is (z5)5?

79% Answer Correctly
z25
z0
z10
5z5

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(z5)5
z(5 * 5)
z25


5

Convert x-4 to remove the negative exponent.

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-1}{-4x^{4}} \)
\( \frac{1}{x^{-4}} \)
\( \frac{1}{x^4} \)
\( \frac{-4}{-x} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.
