1

What is \( \frac{24\sqrt{27}}{8\sqrt{9}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{3} \)
3 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{3} \)
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{24\sqrt{27}}{8\sqrt{9}} \)
\( \frac{24}{8} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{27}{9}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{3} \)

If a mayor is elected with 58% of the votes cast and 53% of a town's 46,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
15,603
20,723
14,140
13,409

Solution

If 53% of the town's 46,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{53}{100} \)) x 46,000 = \( \frac{2,438,000}{100} \) = 24,380

The mayor got 58% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{58}{100} \)) x 24,380 = \( \frac{1,414,040}{100} \) = 14,140 votes.


3

Damon loaned Charlie $300 at an annual interest rate of 8%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$2
$24
$36
$15

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $300
i = 0.08 x $300
i = $24


4

If \(\left|a\right| = 7\), which of the following best describes a?

67% Answer Correctly

none of these is correct

a = -7

a = 7

a = 7 or a = -7


Solution

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).


5

Solve for \( \frac{5!}{2!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
1680
\( \frac{1}{210} \)
60
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:

\( \frac{5!}{2!} \)
\( \frac{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{5 \times 4 \times 3}{1} \)
\( 5 \times 4 \times 3 \)
