What is 6\( \sqrt{7} \) x 5\( \sqrt{9} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
11\( \sqrt{9} \)
90\( \sqrt{7} \)
30\( \sqrt{16} \)
30\( \sqrt{7} \)

Solution

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

6\( \sqrt{7} \) x 5\( \sqrt{9} \)
(6 x 5)\( \sqrt{7 \times 9} \)
30\( \sqrt{63} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

30\( \sqrt{63} \)
30\( \sqrt{7 \times 9} \)
30\( \sqrt{7 \times 3^2} \)
(30)(3)\( \sqrt{7} \)
90\( \sqrt{7} \)

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 4:1 and all 37,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
26,667
29,600
22,500
39,200

Solution

A ratio of 4:1 means that there are 4 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 5 fans, 4 are home fans and \( \frac{4}{5} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

37,000 fans x \( \frac{4}{5} \) = \( \frac{148000}{5} \) = 29,600 fans.


3

What is 4y5 x 8y7?

75% Answer Correctly
32y2
32y12
12y5
32y7

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

4y5 x 8y7
(4 x 8)y(5 + 7)
32y12


4

What is the least common multiple of 3 and 11?

72% Answer Correctly
31
8
2
33

Solution

The first few multiples of 3 are [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30] and the first few multiples of 11 are [11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99]. The first few multiples they share are [33, 66, 99] making 33 the smallest multiple 3 and 11 have in common.


5

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{25}{9}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{3}{4}\)
1\(\frac{2}{3}\)
2\(\frac{2}{3}\)
\(\frac{4}{9}\)

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:

\( \sqrt{\frac{25}{9}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{9}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{5^2}}{\sqrt{3^2}} \)
\( \frac{5}{3} \)
1\(\frac{2}{3}\)
