1

What is \( \frac{45\sqrt{28}}{9\sqrt{4}} \)?

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

Solution

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

\( \frac{45\sqrt{28}}{9\sqrt{4}} \)
\( \frac{45}{9} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{28}{4}} \)
5 \( \sqrt{7} \)

\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?

55% Answer Correctly

commutative property for division

distributive property for multiplication

commutative property for multiplication

distributive property for division


Solution

The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).


3

Solve for \( \frac{4!}{3!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
336
\( \frac{1}{5} \)
\( \frac{1}{56} \)
4

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{4!}{3!} \)
\( \frac{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{4}{1} \)

If all of a roofing company's 6 workers are required to staff 2 roofing crews, how many workers need to be added during the busy season in order to send 6 complete crews out on jobs?

55% Answer Correctly
1
9
3
12

Solution

In order to find how many additional workers are needed to staff the extra crews you first need to calculate how many workers are on a crew. There are 6 workers at the company now and that's enough to staff 2 crews so there are \( \frac{6}{2} \) = 3 workers on a crew. 6 crews are needed for the busy season which, at 3 workers per crew, means that the roofing company will need 6 x 3 = 18 total workers to staff the crews during the busy season. The company already employs 6 workers so they need to add 18 - 6 = 12 new staff for the busy season.


5

4! = ?

85% Answer Correctly

3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3

5 x 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.
