Which of these numbers is a factor of 72?
| 50 | |
| 73 | |
| 76 | |
| 4 |
The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72.
What is 2\( \sqrt{8} \) x 5\( \sqrt{2} \)?
| 10\( \sqrt{10} \) | |
| 7\( \sqrt{8} \) | |
| 10\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 40 |
To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:
2\( \sqrt{8} \) x 5\( \sqrt{2} \)
(2 x 5)\( \sqrt{8 \times 2} \)
10\( \sqrt{16} \)
Now we need to simplify the radical:
10\( \sqrt{16} \)
10\( \sqrt{4^2} \)
(10)(4)
40
The total water usage for a city is 35,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 29% is for personal use and 42% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?
| 11,900 | |
| 6,000 | |
| 1,800 | |
| 4,550 |
42% of the water consumption is industrial use and 29% is personal use so (42% - 29%) = 13% more water is used for industrial purposes. 35,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{13}{100} \) x 35,000 gallons = 4,550 gallons.
Simplify \( \frac{20}{68} \).
| \( \frac{10}{13} \) | |
| \( \frac{1}{4} \) | |
| \( \frac{7}{18} \) | |
| \( \frac{5}{17} \) |
To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 20 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20] and the factors of 68 are [1, 2, 4, 17, 34, 68]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).
Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:
\( \frac{20}{68} \) = \( \frac{\frac{20}{4}}{\frac{68}{4}} \) = \( \frac{5}{17} \)
If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 2:1 and all 34,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?
| 36,800 | |
| 35,833 | |
| 22,667 | |
| 24,000 |
A ratio of 2:1 means that there are 2 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 3 fans, 2 are home fans and \( \frac{2}{3} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:
34,000 fans x \( \frac{2}{3} \) = \( \frac{68000}{3} \) = 22,667 fans.
