What is \( \sqrt{\frac{4}{36}} \)?
| \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| \(\frac{5}{9}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{3}{5}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{2}\) |
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:
\( \sqrt{\frac{4}{36}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{36}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{2^2}}{\sqrt{6^2}} \)
\(\frac{1}{3}\)
A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 65% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?
| 30% | |
| 15% | |
| 25% | |
| 32\(\frac{1}{2}\)% |
The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 65% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{65\text{%}}{2} \) = 32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
If \(\left|a\right| = 7\), which of the following best describes a?
a = 7 |
|
none of these is correct |
|
a = -7 |
|
a = 7 or a = -7 |
The absolute value is the positive magnitude of a particular number or variable and is indicated by two vertical lines: \(\left|-5\right| = 5\). In the case of a variable absolute value (\(\left|a\right| = 5\)) the value of a can be either positive or negative (a = -5 or a = 5).
What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 7 hours at an average speed of 75 miles per hour?
| 240 miles | |
| 100 miles | |
| 350 miles | |
| 525 miles |
Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:
speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)Solving for distance:
distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 75mph \times 7h \)
525 miles
How many hours does it take a car to travel 260 miles at an average speed of 65 miles per hour?
| 6 hours | |
| 4 hours | |
| 9 hours | |
| 2 hours |
Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:
speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)Solving for time:
time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{260mi}{65mph} \)
4 hours
