What is \( \frac{2}{4} \) + \( \frac{3}{12} \)?
| 1 \( \frac{1}{12} \) | |
| \(\frac{3}{4}\) | |
| \( \frac{5}{12} \) | |
| \( \frac{8}{12} \) |
To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 4 are [4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40] and the first few multiples of 12 are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96]. The first few multiples they share are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60] making 12 the smallest multiple 4 and 12 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{2 x 3}{4 x 3} \) + \( \frac{3 x 1}{12 x 1} \)
\( \frac{6}{12} \) + \( \frac{3}{12} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:
\( \frac{6 + 3}{12} \) = \( \frac{9}{12} \) = \(\frac{3}{4}\)
A tiger in a zoo has consumed 42 pounds of food in 7 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 66 pounds?
| 8 | |
| 4 | |
| 6 | |
| 9 |
If the tiger has consumed 42 pounds of food in 7 days that's \( \frac{42}{7} \) = 6 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 66 - 42 = 24 more pounds of food to reach 66 pounds total. At 6 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{24}{6} \) = 4 more days.
What is \( \frac{3}{4} \) - \( \frac{2}{8} \)?
| \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| \( \frac{5}{8} \) | |
| \( \frac{3}{8} \) | |
| 1 \( \frac{7}{16} \) |
To subtract these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 4 are [4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40] 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 [8, 16, 24, 32, 40] making 8 the smallest multiple 4 and 8 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{3 x 2}{4 x 2} \) - \( \frac{2 x 1}{8 x 1} \)
\( \frac{6}{8} \) - \( \frac{2}{8} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can subtract them:
\( \frac{6 - 2}{8} \) = \( \frac{4}{8} \) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 30% off." If Frank buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $33, how much money will he save?
| $8.25 | |
| $6.60 | |
| $11.55 | |
| $9.90 |
By buying two shirts, Frank will save $33 x \( \frac{30}{100} \) = \( \frac{$33 x 30}{100} \) = \( \frac{$990}{100} \) = $9.90 on the second shirt.
What is \( \frac{6\sqrt{9}}{3\sqrt{3}} \)?
| 3 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \) | |
| 3 \( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 2 \( \sqrt{3} \) | |
| \(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{2} \) |
To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:
\( \frac{6\sqrt{9}}{3\sqrt{3}} \)
\( \frac{6}{3} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{9}{3}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{3} \)
