What is 4\( \sqrt{4} \) x 4\( \sqrt{8} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
64\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{8} \)
8\( \sqrt{32} \)
16\( \sqrt{12} \)

Solution

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

4\( \sqrt{4} \) x 4\( \sqrt{8} \)
(4 x 4)\( \sqrt{4 \times 8} \)
16\( \sqrt{32} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

16\( \sqrt{32} \)
16\( \sqrt{2 \times 16} \)
16\( \sqrt{2 \times 4^2} \)
(16)(4)\( \sqrt{2} \)
64\( \sqrt{2} \)

Simplify \( \frac{40}{68} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{7}{16} \)
\( \frac{3}{4} \)
\( \frac{4}{17} \)
\( \frac{10}{17} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 40 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40] 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:

\( \frac{40}{68} \) = \( \frac{\frac{40}{4}}{\frac{68}{4}} \) = \( \frac{10}{17} \)


3

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 3:1 and all 39,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

49% Answer Correctly
31,500
36,667
29,250
28,667

Solution

A ratio of 3:1 means that there are 3 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 4 fans, 3 are home fans and \( \frac{3}{4} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

39,000 fans x \( \frac{3}{4} \) = \( \frac{117000}{4} \) = 29,250 fans.


4

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 55 pounds of food in 5 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 99 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
6
8
9
4

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 55 pounds of food in 5 days that's \( \frac{55}{5} \) = 11 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 99 - 55 = 44 more pounds of food to reach 99 pounds total. At 11 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{44}{11} \) = 4 more days.


5

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 10% off." If Bob buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $36, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$9.00
$16.20
$3.60
65

Solution

By buying two shirts, Bob will save $36 x \( \frac{10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$36 x 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$360}{100} \) = $3.60 on the second shirt.
