What is \( \frac{9\sqrt{14}}{3\sqrt{7}} \)?
| \(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{3} \) | |
| 3 \( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| \(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 3 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \) |
To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:
\( \frac{9\sqrt{14}}{3\sqrt{7}} \)
\( \frac{9}{3} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{14}{7}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{2} \)
If a mayor is elected with 84% of the votes cast and 75% of a town's 10,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?
| 4,800 | |
| 5,625 | |
| 4,125 | |
| 6,300 |
If 75% of the town's 10,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:
(\( \frac{75}{100} \)) x 10,000 = \( \frac{750,000}{100} \) = 7,500
The mayor got 84% of the votes cast which is:
(\( \frac{84}{100} \)) x 7,500 = \( \frac{630,000}{100} \) = 6,300 votes.
What is \( \frac{8}{3} \) + \( \frac{9}{9} \)?
| 1 \( \frac{4}{12} \) | |
| 1 \( \frac{3}{9} \) | |
| 1 \( \frac{1}{9} \) | |
| 3\(\frac{2}{3}\) |
To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 3 are [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30] and the first few multiples of 9 are [9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [9, 18, 27, 36, 45] making 9 the smallest multiple 3 and 9 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{8 x 3}{3 x 3} \) + \( \frac{9 x 1}{9 x 1} \)
\( \frac{24}{9} \) + \( \frac{9}{9} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:
\( \frac{24 + 9}{9} \) = \( \frac{33}{9} \) = 3\(\frac{2}{3}\)
What is \( \sqrt{\frac{16}{36}} \)?
| \(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| 1 | |
| \(\frac{2}{5}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{4}{5}\) |
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:
\( \sqrt{\frac{16}{36}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{16}}{\sqrt{36}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{4^2}}{\sqrt{6^2}} \)
\(\frac{2}{3}\)
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 $30, how much will he pay for both shirts?
| $45.00 | |
| $51.00 | |
| $39.00 | |
| $21.00 |
By buying two shirts, Frank will save $30 x \( \frac{30}{100} \) = \( \frac{$30 x 30}{100} \) = \( \frac{$900}{100} \) = $9.00 on the second shirt.
So, his total cost will be
$30.00 + ($30.00 - $9.00)
$30.00 + $21.00
$51.00
