1

19 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 3 5-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?

75% Answer Correctly
9
4
3
7

Solution

There are 3 5-passenger taxis available so that's 3 x 5 = 15 total seats. There are 19 people needing transportation leaving 19 - 15 = 4 who will have to find other transportation.


2

How many 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 15 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
3
6
3
4

Solution

To fill a 15 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 7\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{7\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}}{2\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 3


3

What is the least common multiple of 4 and 8?

72% Answer Correctly
8
6
12
21

Solution

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 have in common.

What is \( 2 \)\( \sqrt{63} \) - \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)

38% Answer Correctly
10\( \sqrt{63} \)
\( \sqrt{7} \)
-3\( \sqrt{63} \)
10\( \sqrt{441} \)

Solution

To subtract these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

2\( \sqrt{63} \) - 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
2\( \sqrt{9 \times 7} \) - 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
2\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 7} \) - 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
(2)(3)\( \sqrt{7} \) - 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
6\( \sqrt{7} \) - 5\( \sqrt{7} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:

6\( \sqrt{7} \) - 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
(6 - 5)\( \sqrt{7} \)
\( \sqrt{7} \)


5
