1

What is \( \frac{10\sqrt{18}}{5\sqrt{6}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{3} \)
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{2} \)
2 \( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{10\sqrt{18}}{5\sqrt{6}} \)
\( \frac{10}{5} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{18}{6}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{3} \)

If a car travels 195 miles in 3 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
65 mph
55 mph
30 mph
40 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{195mi}{3h} \)
65 mph

On average, the center for a basketball team hits 45% of his shots while a guard on the same team hits 60% of his shots. If the guard takes 25 shots during a game, how many shots will the center have to take to score as many points as the guard assuming each shot is worth the same number of points?

42% Answer Correctly
48
26
33
54

Solution
If the guard hits 60% of his shots and takes 25 shots he'll make:

guard shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \) = 25 x \( \frac{60}{100} \) = \( \frac{60 x 25}{100} \) = \( \frac{1500}{100} \) = 15 shots

The center makes 45% of his shots so he'll have to take:

shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \)
shots taken = \( \frac{\text{shots taken}}{\frac{\text{% made}}{100}} \)

to make as many shots as the guard. Plugging in values for the center gives us:

center shots taken = \( \frac{15}{\frac{45}{100}} \) = 15 x \( \frac{100}{45} \) = \( \frac{15 x 100}{45} \) = \( \frac{1500}{45} \) = 33 shots

to make the same number of shots as the guard and thus score the same number of points.

Ezra loaned Alex $1,500 at an annual interest rate of 1%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$24
$15
$18
$6

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 $1,500
i = 0.01 x $1,500
i = $15
