1

What is \( \frac{35\sqrt{25}}{5\sqrt{5}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
5 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{5} \)
\(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{7} \)
\(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{35\sqrt{25}}{5\sqrt{5}} \)
\( \frac{35}{5} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{25}{5}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{5} \)


2

Simplify \( \sqrt{12} \)

62% Answer Correctly
5\( \sqrt{3} \)
4\( \sqrt{3} \)
9\( \sqrt{6} \)
2\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{12} \)
\( \sqrt{4 \times 3} \)
\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 3} \)
2\( \sqrt{3} \)


3

4! = ?

84% Answer Correctly

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3

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

A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 5 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 5 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?

53% Answer Correctly
9:4
25:2
3:1
3:4

Solution

The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 5:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 5:1. 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 25:10 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 10:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 25:10, 10:2 which reduces to 25:2.


5

What is -9y2 x 4y2?

75% Answer Correctly
-5y2
-36y4
-5y4
-36y2

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:

-9y2 x 4y2
(-9 x 4)y(2 + 2)
-36y4
