Simplify \( \sqrt{32} \)

62% Answer Correctly
6\( \sqrt{4} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{4} \)
3\( \sqrt{4} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

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


2

What is \( \frac{-4a^5}{8a^4} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)a
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)a9
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)a\(\frac{4}{5}\)
-2a

Solution

To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

\( \frac{-4a^5}{8a^4} \)
\( \frac{-4}{8} \) a(5 - 4)
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)a

How many 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 12 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
2
8
7
4

Solution

To fill a 12 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 6 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{6 \text{ gallons}}{1\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 4


4

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 4:1 and all 44,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
30,833
35,200
22,500
28,000

Solution

A ratio of 4:1 means that there are 4 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 5 fans, 4 are home fans and \( \frac{4}{5} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

44,000 fans x \( \frac{4}{5} \) = \( \frac{176000}{5} \) = 35,200 fans.

April scored 81% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 210 possible points on the exam, how many questions did April answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
57
52
60
54

Solution

April scored 81% on the test meaning she earned 81% of the possible points on the test. There were 210 possible points on the test so she earned 210 x 0.81 = 171 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{171}{3} \) = 57 questions right.
