1

What is \( \frac{49\sqrt{30}}{7\sqrt{6}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \)
\(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{7} \)
7 \( \sqrt{5} \)
\(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{5} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{49\sqrt{30}}{7\sqrt{6}} \)
\( \frac{49}{7} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{30}{6}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{5} \)


2

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 1 hour at an average speed of 40 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
525 miles
225 miles
40 miles
420 miles

Solution

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 = \( 40mph \times 1h \)
40 miles


3

What is \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{32} \) + \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{2} \)

35% Answer Correctly
35\( \sqrt{2} \)
14\( \sqrt{2} \)
14\( \sqrt{32} \)
14\( \sqrt{64} \)

Solution

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

7\( \sqrt{32} \) + 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
7\( \sqrt{16 \times 2} \) + 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
7\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 2} \) + 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
(7)(4)\( \sqrt{2} \) + 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
28\( \sqrt{2} \) + 7\( \sqrt{2} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

28\( \sqrt{2} \) + 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
(28 + 7)\( \sqrt{2} \)
35\( \sqrt{2} \)


4

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{49}{81}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{3}{5}\)
\(\frac{2}{3}\)
\(\frac{2}{9}\)
\(\frac{7}{9}\)

Solution

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:

\( \sqrt{\frac{49}{81}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{49}}{\sqrt{81}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{7^2}}{\sqrt{9^2}} \)
\(\frac{7}{9}\)

Alex loaned Betty $1,400 at an annual interest rate of 1%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$1,414
$1,484
$1,456
$1,526

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $1,400
i = 0.01 x $1,400

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $1,400 + $14
total = $1,414
