What is 4\( \sqrt{6} \) x 2\( \sqrt{5} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
6\( \sqrt{5} \)
8\( \sqrt{5} \)
8\( \sqrt{30} \)
8\( \sqrt{11} \)

Solution

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

4\( \sqrt{6} \) x 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
(4 x 2)\( \sqrt{6 \times 5} \)
8\( \sqrt{30} \)


2

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 10% off." If Frank buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $11, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$1.10
$5.50
$3.85
$4.95

Solution

By buying two shirts, Frank will save $11 x \( \frac{10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$11 x 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$110}{100} \) = $1.10 on the second shirt.


3

What is \( \frac{3}{9} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{6} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{4}{49}\)
\(\frac{3}{28}\)
2
\(\frac{1}{28}\)

Solution

To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:

\( \frac{3}{9} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{6} \) = \( \frac{3}{9} \) x \( \frac{6}{1} \)

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{3}{9} \) x \( \frac{6}{1} \) = \( \frac{3 x 6}{9 x 1} \) = \( \frac{18}{9} \) = 2


4

Which of the following is a mixed number?

82% Answer Correctly

\({a \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.


5

Simplify \( \sqrt{8} \)

62% Answer Correctly
8\( \sqrt{4} \)
7\( \sqrt{2} \)
2\( \sqrt{4} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{8} \)
\( \sqrt{4 \times 2} \)
\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
