2

Simplify \( \sqrt{8} \)

62% Answer Correctly
9\( \sqrt{4} \)
3\( \sqrt{4} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
6\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{8} \)
\( \sqrt{4 \times 2} \)
\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)


3

A bread recipe calls for 2\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{3}{4}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups
2\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups
1\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (2\(\frac{5}{8}\) - \(\frac{3}{4}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{21}{8} \) - \( \frac{6}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{15}{8} \) cups
1\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups


4

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

60% Answer Correctly

commutative

PEDMAS

distributive

associative


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.


5

Find the average of the following numbers: 15, 7, 12, 10.

75% Answer Correctly
16
11
13
8

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{15 + 7 + 12 + 10}{4} \) = \( \frac{44}{4} \) = 11
