What is \( \frac{8\sqrt{35}}{4\sqrt{5}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
7 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{2} \)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{7} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{8\sqrt{35}}{4\sqrt{5}} \)
\( \frac{8}{4} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{35}{5}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{7} \)


2

What is z5 - 5z5?

71% Answer Correctly
-4z5
4z5
6z5
6z25

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so subtract the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

1z5 - 5z5
(1 - 5)z5
-4z5

Cooks are needed to prepare for a large party. Each cook can bake either 3 large cakes or 18 small cakes per hour. The kitchen is available for 4 hours and 35 large cakes and 180 small cakes need to be baked.

How many cooks are required to bake the required number of cakes during the time the kitchen is available?

41% Answer Correctly
7
9
6
14

Solution

If a single cook can bake 3 large cakes per hour and the kitchen is available for 4 hours, a single cook can bake 3 x 4 = 12 large cakes during that time. 35 large cakes are needed for the party so \( \frac{35}{12} \) = 2\(\frac{11}{12}\) cooks are needed to bake the required number of large cakes.

If a single cook can bake 18 small cakes per hour and the kitchen is available for 4 hours, a single cook can bake 18 x 4 = 72 small cakes during that time. 180 small cakes are needed for the party so \( \frac{180}{72} \) = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) cooks are needed to bake the required number of small cakes.

Because you can't employ a fractional cook, round the number of cooks needed for each type of cake up to the next whole number resulting in 3 + 3 = 6 cooks.


4

4! = ?

85% 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.


5

Which of the following is not an integer?

77% Answer Correctly

\({1 \over 2}\)

-1

1

0


Solution

An integer is any whole number, including zero. An integer can be either positive or negative. Examples include -77, -1, 0, 55, 119.
