The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.
If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 48 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?
| 8 m2 | |
| 18 m2 | |
| 72 m2 | |
| 128 m2 |
The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 48 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 48.
Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):
2w + 2h = 48
w + h = \( \frac{48}{2} \)
w + h = 24
w = 24 - h
From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:
w = 24 - 2w
3w = 24
w = \( \frac{24}{3} \)
w = 8
Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 8) = 16 and the area = h x w = 8 x 16 = 128 m2
What is \( \frac{2}{6} \) x \( \frac{2}{7} \)?
| \(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| \(\frac{2}{27}\) | |
| \(\frac{2}{21}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{16}\) |
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:
\( \frac{2}{6} \) x \( \frac{2}{7} \) = \( \frac{2 x 2}{6 x 7} \) = \( \frac{4}{42} \) = \(\frac{2}{21}\)
Convert 1,035,000 to scientific notation.
| 1.035 x 105 | |
| 1.035 x 10-5 | |
| 0.104 x 107 | |
| 1.035 x 106 |
A number in scientific notation has the format 0.000 x 10exponent. To convert to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the right or the left until the number is a decimal between 1 and 10. The exponent of the 10 is the number of places you moved the decimal point and is positive if you moved the decimal point to the left and negative if you moved it to the right:
1,035,000 in scientific notation is 1.035 x 106
What is \( \sqrt{\frac{49}{25}} \)?
| 3 | |
| 2 | |
| \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{2}{5}\) |
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:
\( \sqrt{\frac{49}{25}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{49}}{\sqrt{25}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{7^2}}{\sqrt{5^2}} \)
\( \frac{7}{5} \)
