What is \( \sqrt{\frac{49}{9}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{3}\)
2\(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{5}{6}\)
1

Solution

To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:

\( \sqrt{\frac{49}{9}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{49}}{\sqrt{9}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{7^2}}{\sqrt{3^2}} \)
\( \frac{7}{3} \)
2\(\frac{1}{3}\)


2

A factor is a positive __________ that divides evenly into a given number.

78% Answer Correctly

fraction

mixed number

integer

improper fraction


Solution

A factor is a positive integer that divides evenly into a given number. For example, the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.


3

A machine in a factory has an error rate of 4 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 5 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 5 hours for maintenance.

How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?

49% Answer Correctly
91.2
96.9
213.4
139.2

Solution

The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:

\( \frac{4}{100} \) x 5 = \( \frac{4 \times 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{20}{100} \) = 0.2 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 5 - 0.2 = 4.8 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 5 = 19 hours yesterday so you would expect that 19 x 4.8 = 91.2 error free parts were produced yesterday.


4

Solve for \( \frac{3!}{5!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{6} \)
42
\( \frac{1}{60480} \)
\( \frac{1}{20} \)

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:

\( \frac{3!}{5!} \)
\( \frac{3 \times 2 \times 1}{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{5 \times 4} \)
\( \frac{1}{20} \)


5

What is 8z3 x 8z2?

75% Answer Correctly
64z5
64z3
64z
64z6

Solution

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

8z3 x 8z2
(8 x 8)z(3 + 2)
64z5
