How many 10-passenger vans will it take to drive all 65 members of the football team to an away game?
| 6 vans | |
| 3 vans | |
| 7 vans | |
| 9 vans |
Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:
vans = \( \frac{65}{10} \) = 6\(\frac{1}{2}\)
So, it will take 6 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 7 vans.
What is 2\( \sqrt{8} \) x 3\( \sqrt{8} \)?
| 6\( \sqrt{8} \) | |
| 48 | |
| 6\( \sqrt{16} \) | |
| 5\( \sqrt{8} \) |
To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:
2\( \sqrt{8} \) x 3\( \sqrt{8} \)
(2 x 3)\( \sqrt{8 \times 8} \)
6\( \sqrt{64} \)
Now we need to simplify the radical:
6\( \sqrt{64} \)
6\( \sqrt{8^2} \)
(6)(8)
48
What is \( \frac{4}{6} \) - \( \frac{9}{8} \)?
| 2 \( \frac{5}{10} \) | |
| -\(\frac{11}{24}\) | |
| 2 \( \frac{5}{24} \) | |
| 1 \( \frac{6}{11} \) |
To subtract these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 8 are [8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80]. The first few multiples they share are [24, 48, 72, 96] making 24 the smallest multiple 6 and 8 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{4 x 4}{6 x 4} \) - \( \frac{9 x 3}{8 x 3} \)
\( \frac{16}{24} \) - \( \frac{27}{24} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can subtract them:
\( \frac{16 - 27}{24} \) = \( \frac{-11}{24} \) = -\(\frac{11}{24}\)
If \(\left|a\right| = 7\), which of the following best describes a?
a = -7 |
|
a = 7 or a = -7 |
|
none of these is correct |
|
a = 7 |
The absolute value is the positive magnitude of a particular number or variable and is indicated by two vertical lines: \(\left|-5\right| = 5\). In the case of a variable absolute value (\(\left|a\right| = 5\)) the value of a can be either positive or negative (a = -5 or a = 5).
The __________ is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.
